Itinerary description
My travel documentary series from the Alps tour in 2020 on the '91 Honda Africa Twin (videos added on weekly basis).
This part features one offroad side trip in Piemont - road to the Mont de Cotolivier (2105m). Not difficult though, but great view on the valley.
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.
