Itinerary description

My travel documentary series from the Corse tour in 2020 on the '91 Honda Africa Twin (videos added on weekly basis).

Offroad in Corse was too difficult for a heavy enduro so here are mostly tarmac roads. Apart from roads to the beaches which are sandy are somewhat challenging on the heavy bike.

Check my Tour des Grandes Alpes which was the beginning of the whole tour.

Route goes from Austria through Switzerland, Italy, then back to Switzerland and France, to finally reach Piemont in Italy and some epic alpin passes in France. Total of 29 epic passes - both tarmac and gravel - mostly easy routes (offroad only in Piemont and France). It reaches the highest point in EU which is accessible with a motor vehicle - 3000m above the sea level - an enduro bike would be recommended, since the offroad tracks are mostly rocky/gravel. It ends in Savona where I got the ferry to Corse and did some nice riding there. Last part is the road back home through Toskana and Stelvio pass :)
