Days 1–6England to Bolzano
The adventure begins in Folkestone, where riders gather for introductions before boarding the Eurotunnel into France. From there, the roads open up across the French countryside, a gentle warm-up through rolling farmland and quiet villages before reaching the wooded hills of the Ardennes. It’s the perfect first taste of Europe’s riding culture, with a relaxed evening to settle in.
On day two, the group weaves across borders, riding through Belgium and Luxembourg before crossing into Germany. The destination is the legendary Black Forest, a biker’s paradise of towering pines, timber-clad villages, and endless sweepers. Riders will settle into a traditional lodge, with hearty food and cold beers at the ready.
Day three dives deeper into Germany as we follow the famous B500, one of Europe’s most celebrated motorcycle roads. The ride then pushes east, climbing into the Bavarian Alps and finishing in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a lively alpine town known for its beer halls and mountain scenery.
On day four, the real mountains arrive. Crossing through Austria, the road winds higher and higher over alpine passes, before dropping dramatically into northern Italy. The jagged peaks of the Dolomites rise up on the horizon as we descend into Bolzano, where Italian culture and alpine landscapes blend seamlessly.
Day five is a no-bags, all-twisties kind of day. Riders will tackle the famous Dolomite passes — Pordoi, Sella, Gardena, and more — a thrilling loop of switchbacks, panoramic lookouts, and alpine cafés. This is pure riding bliss, ending back in Bolzano with time to relax and relive the day’s highs.
On day six, the Dolomites fade behind us as we roll south through the Italian countryside toward Bologna. Vineyards, farmland, and medieval towns pave the way, before arriving in one of Italy’s great culinary capitals. The Alps are in the rear-view, and plates of fresh pasta and local wine await.
