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 long easy offroad part - Strada dell'Assietta - epic track, very easy to ride with great views. At the end it crosses to France over the western part of the border lake (but I was not able to plan this route in the software, so just follow the track and then go along the concrete route (easy, but very bumpy, but narrow - only motorbike). After that you will end up at the lake shore and follow along to the tarmac and back to the main road down to France.
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.
