What biker can resist the high passes
In the clouds
By the icy glaciers
The winding roads up the mountain passes
The cobble stoned old San Gotthard pass my favourite of all
Crowned with its mountain eagle monument
And on a clear day the lakes, an amazing blue, pay tribute to the sky above them.
Looks fantastic! We’ll be there in July taking in the passes.
So will I! https://ridermagazine.com/2013/12/05/book-review-motorcycle-journeys-through-the-alps-5th-edition/ this book is worth a look if you want to plan some rides. Can’t get enough of those high passes
We met a great Swiss couple on our trip in the US who have put together a great looking route and itinerary for us. It’ll be great to be shown around by locals.
Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out.
Yes that sure helps. I have found the Swiss so very friendly and helpful. It’s worth crossing over the border into Italy to do the Stelvio Pass and the other ones around it.
Amazing adventure. You go! It doesn’t get much better than that.
Thanks, I feel very blessed to be able to able to spend time exploring Europe at length while living in Australia. I had back in a few weeks to once again enjoy a European summer exploring
So happy for you and that you know how to appreciate the time you are given. Safe travels.
Pyrenees for me this year, gonna miss those Alps so much!!!!
You won’t be sorry with the Pyrenees that is for sure. But I have to say that the Alps are special.
Oh I don’t doubt that the Pyrenees are good, if ridden some of them before, but I’m only really going to clear some outstanding passes!😂 I must admit that I like their compact nature, but they really don’t have the mass grandeur of the Alps.
