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 pass - Col du Parpaillon - rocky route, not very difficult but solid bike/4x4 required. Apart from this - only epic road through the alps!
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.

Hej kucharzb.
Virkelig flot rute og spændende rejse. Er det sådan at de 9 dele af turen er delt op i dage. Sådan at det tog dig 9 dage at gennemføre ruterne i dette sæt.
Overvejer stærkt at kopiere din tur og gøre det selv.
Med venlig Hilsen Arno
