"My 2001 Alpine Adventure was the best of 10 European Motorcycle tours I have done previously (with brand x and brand y). I am really looking forward to the 2002 trip!"

“The Beach Tour in the Alps IS adventure, from the time you wake up to the smell of a delicious continental breakfast at a secluded hotel, --- somewhere in the Alpine Mountains, or hidden away in a medieval town within a city, --- to when you lay down in a puffy European bed, to review the events of your day --- thus, setting the scene for pleasant dreams and looking forward to the next day’s activities.  To me, the best  form of vacation, motorcycling or otherwise”.

Edwin M. Winet
Alpine Adventure 1985, 1990, 1991, 2001 & 2006

The European Alps...

 


We Turn Dreams Into Memories!

Within their ramparts huddle villages and farms from the middle ages and winter resorts as new as tomorrow. The contrast of old and new is fascinating and amazingly comfortable.

As the mountains in each of the Alpine countries differ, so do the people. For hundreds of years the inhabitants battled the elements and the land to wrest a living from the mountains.

Today, for many of these hardy mountain folk, tourists are their lifeblood and are accommodated with pleasure and perfection! Motorcycles and riders are warmly accepted and welcomed.

So, dream about magnificent mountain riding on the finest roads in the world, breathtaking scenery, diet shattering food, unique shopping opportunities, and enough cultural overload to last a lifetime. It's all there, in a small area, providing a motorcyclist's paradise.

Discover them with Beach's Motorcycle Adventures!

The Classic Alpine Adventure offers an in-depth ride through the most mountainous areas of Austria, Switzerland, northern Italy and the German state of Bavaria. With minor variations, this is the itinerary we've been running for three and a half decades.  Once you experience the roads and scenery available in the central Alps you will discover why riders repeat this tour 3, 5, and even 20 times. Classic it is!
 
The
Alpine Adventure West conquers the French Alps and will take one over the highest European mountain passes before delving into western Italy on a meandering path back to Munich.

Completing the Alpine season is a special Adventure, the
Corsican Caper.
From Munich the Caper delves into the high Austrian Alps, touches on Italy's magnificent lakes district, and leaps up into the highest Alpine passes, found in France. There is sufficient time to explore these great roads as the route continues south to the Mediterranean coastline of the French Riviera. All this spectacular riding is only the first half of the tour! The mountains and seacoast that is Napoleon 's beloved Corsica reveals itself over the next four nights, and the days of brilliant riding punctuating them. How you wrap up such an exotic tour? A few days in Tuscany and a final dinner in Florence should do the trick!

The Alpine Adventure East. focusing on the eastern Alps, the Croatian coastline and the Dolomites, will next be conducted in May, 2010 on a new itinerary.

A brochure detailing the Alpine tours may be downloaded here.
