Anyone who has navigated a French Alpine pass for the first time is usually struck by a certain intuition. An intuition that something truly special awaits them in the western part of the main Alpine ridge. The gaze sweeps over a distinctly rugged and solitary landscape. One feels as if they are on another planet. The remoteness is profound, and civilization seems very far away. Clearly, riding a motorcycle in the French Alps is a unique experience. The highest passes in Europe, the most winding roads of the Alps, a fascinating nature—this region is a must for every motorcyclist. To make your vacation as enjoyable as possible, we have published our guide "Desire for the French Alps." It includes ten selected day trips that feature classics such as Galibier, Restefond/Bonette, and Izoard.
