Originally organized by RoadRUNNER magazine founder Christian Neuhauser as the ultimate European motorcycle tour, the Five Country Tour is the pinnacle of two-wheel experience. As the name implies, participants enjoy a five-country romp through Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Switzerland, which includes riding through the Alps and the Dolomites—motorcycling at its best. The Alpine roads offer abundant curves and various riding challenges and is intended for the advanced rider, earning a desirable 5 out of 5 for required skill level. The tour is a stunning mix of incredible roads, history, scenery, and cuisine, all wrapped around Old World charm and warm hospitality.
The route of this motorcyclist’s dream will take guests on a virtual smorgasbord of curves and sightseeing from the seat of your motorcycle; Munich, Salzburg, several glaciers, the mighty Dolomite mountains, the Wine Road of Meran, the famous Stelvio Pass, and St. Moritz, among many others.
This amazing 12-day, 1,400-mile vacation, which includes 9 full days of riding, with one rest/sightseeing day (and two optional rest days) is limited to 12 motorcycles and always promises to deliver to the consummate enthusiast a true challenge, set against some of the most scenic backdrops in Europe. The daily average of 155 miles is deceptive, as the chosen routes are comprised of demanding roads, perfect for the advanced rider, which will keep things wonderfully entertaining. And with temperatures averaging 50-80˚F/10-27˚C it makes for a comfortable riding environment. Beginning and ending in Munich, plan to arrive a few days early to acclimate to the time change and explore this famous, visually stunning and exciting city.
Naturally, basing in Munich, we offer BMW motorcycles. Multilingual tour guides ensure an ease of travel and sightseeing through the various languages of the five countries visited. Hotels are family-owned middle-class establishments reflecting local color and charm. The Five Country Tour includes airport shuttle, fuel, all breakfasts and dinners, all entrance fees and tolls, a detailed information packet including maps, guidebook and T-shirt, ensuring a memorable travel/riding experience.
