Briancon (1,326m) is the highest city in France.  This citadel is surrounded by several forts and ramparts.  Only 15 km from the current border with Italy, Briancon was of strategic importance.  Vastly outnumbered its residents successfully prevented the Austrians from capturing the city in 1815.

Barcelonnette dates back to the era of the Roman Empire.  Throughout the ages it has been hotly contested and has been controlled by different countries.  Today it’s surrounded by ski resorts and attracts many riders from all over Europe.  The town is small and quaint.  The best feature is that it is at the base of the highest paved road in France, the Bonnette Pass.(8907 ft).

Amazing Towns:  Switzerland

Interlaken & Gruyeres:  check out serene Switzerland.  You’ll feel like you’re in a postcard.

Interlaken became a tourist haven in the 1800’s as a result of numerous artists painting regional landscapes.  The architecture heavily reflects the 1800’s.  Surrounded by mountains, notably the Eiger.  Once thought that the north face was impossible to climb since so many perished trying.  It was only in 1938 when a team successfully climbed the north face.

Visiting Gruyeres takes you back to the Medieval era.   This well preserved village will definitely impress.  Gruyeres lends its name to the famous cheese (the one with the large holes).  After a stroll around the cobblestone streets, an omlette made with Gruyeres cheese or a fondue would be most appropriate.

Hallstadt this quaint lakeside town is home to one of the oldest known salt mines.  Until recently it was only accessible by boat.  A victim of overtourism by hoardes of buses filled with tourists eager to take selfies for their instagram page.  During your visit be mindful of the locals who have to take the throng of tourists day in and out.

Moto GP Spielberg:  an awesome circuit, with awesome ambiance.  Even non Moto GP fans will have a great time.  Red Bull is your host and they know how to throw a good party.  Entertainment, bands, airshow, stunt shows.  You won’t need an energy drink to get charged up.  The 2019 race was a nail biter from start to finish.  Attendance is optional.  If you’ve never been to a MotoGP you should go to soak up the atmosphere and see a demonstration of riding technique at 300 km/h.
