Description
Come experience the joy of touring the French Alps. You began by riding the historic high Alpine road the Route des Grandes Alpes. Take in all the marvelous panoramic views of some of the most beautiful mountain views. Quaint villages line your route, great for stopping to have a cafe and croissants.
Great Places: Briancon
Spend time visiting Briancon, France’s highest city. This fortified citadel was of strategic importance protecting France against invaders. A series of fortresses overlook the city and offer layers of protection. A marvelous example of military engineering dating back in the 1700’s.
Great Places: Chamonix
Your tour takes you to chic Chamonix at the foot of the massive Mont Blanc. Don’t strain your neck looking up at Europe’s highest peak. Absorb the dynamic vibe of this Olympic city, and take a ride up the Aiguille du Midi cable cars to get closer views of the Mont Blanc. What else to eat but some tasty fondue, tartiflette or raclette. If you don’t know what any of these savory dishes are, you’ll soon discover them and all of their cheesy goodness.
Great Places: Nyons
Olive capital of France, Nyons is a charming provincial town. Overlooking the town is the mighty Mount Ventoux, aka the Windy Mountain. This climb is so much fun you’ll want to do it again and again. Beautiful panoramas await you at the top.
Awesome Riding: The Vercors
Drawing riders from all over, The Vercors offers a diverse experience loaded with amazing roads. From dizzying balcony roads cut into the side of mountains, to breathtaking gorges and thrilling mountain passes. The Vercors is loaded with scenery, history and charming little villages. The French Resistance operated in the Vercors during WWII. History buffs can visit some of the memorials and museums to learn more about the role the Vercors played.

Our tour was outstanding. The guides, the food, the hotels, were better than I imagined. The riding is out of this world. Going back for another next season.

I had a three-day weekend in Grenoble following a work-trip, and I feel like I couldn’t have made a better choice about how to spend those days. It is truly hard to imagine a more enjoyable motorcycling environment than what I found: beautiful, curvy mountain roads in every direction. The weather was perfect, every portion was a thrill. It’s hard to pick which part was the best – so many contenders! It’s motorcycle heaven.
