Julian Alps Motorcycle Tour with Mountain Passes

This Julian Alps motorcycle tour starts at our meeting point in Hüttlingen, from where we ride via Austria toward Ravascletto, right in the heart of the Carnic Alps. This guided Italian motorcycle tour combines mountain passes like the Passo di Monte Croce Carnico with relaxed stages for recharging. As an onroad alpine motorcycle tour, we travel well-maintained side roads with daily distances between 180 and 480 kilometers, always with Friuli in view. After arriving at the tour hotel, we head into the first curves together, marking the start of this Carnic Alps motorcycle journey.

Highlights

Passo Monte Croce Carnico

The Passo di Monte Croce Carnico is one of the finest stages of this Italian mountain pass tour: tight hairpins, old border stones and sweeping views into the Canal Valley await just before the Austrian border.

Monte Zoncolan Curves

The climb up Monte Zoncolan is one of the most spectacular curve sequences in the region: this alpine switchback ride demands confident riding skills and rewards you with sweeping views over the Tagliamento Valley.

Cason di Lanza Stage

At Cason di Lanza our experienced guide leads the group along narrow mountain roads near the Austrian border. This guided Italian motorcycle tour combines technical hairpins with relaxed photo stops.

Passo di Pramollo

The Passo di Pramollo links Friuli and Carinthia on one of the finest stages of this Friuli motorcycle tour: broad sweeps alternate with tight hairpins as lush alpine meadows and rugged cliffs rise on either side.

Lago di Sauris Break

At the turquoise Lago di Sauris we take a break before this Northern Italy motorcycle tour continues between forests and mountain villages. The reservoir is considered one of the finest photo stops on the route.
