Days 1–5Folkestone to Bolzano
The journey begins in Folkestone, where riders cross into France and roll through the scenic forests and rolling hills of the Ardennes. Winding roads lead into Belgium and onward to the medieval town of Bouillon — a perfect first overnight stop to settle into life on the road.
On day two, the route flows through Luxembourg and into Germany, where sweeping tarmac and quiet countryside roads guide the group deep into the legendary Black Forest. Surrounded by dense woodland and twisting mountain roads, it’s a true rider’s playground.
Day three continues south through Bavaria, skirting alpine lakes and mountain valleys on the way to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Nestled beneath Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze, this charming alpine town offers spectacular scenery and classic mountain hospitality.
On day four, we cross into Italy via breathtaking alpine passes, descending into South Tyrol and the Dolomites. The dramatic limestone peaks and flowing mountain roads provide some of the finest riding in Europe as we arrive in Bolzano.
Day five offers a well-earned rest day or optional ride-out in the Dolomites. Riders can relax in town or tackle legendary passes such as Stelvio, Sella, Gardena, and Pordoi — a bucket-list day of world-class mountain riding.
