Tyrolean Alps Motorcycle Tour: Stelvio Pass & More

This Tyrolean Alps motorcycle tour means five days of full focus on the finest Alpine passes of western Austria. The journey to the base hotel starts together from the Geismühle West service station on the A57, via motorway and main road – individual arrival is also possible, and we're happy to help you plan your route. Since this Tyrol motorcycle tour uses no motorways within Austria, you don't need a vignette. From here you're within short reach of four famous passes over 2000 meters, including the Stelvio and the Silvretta High Alpine Road.

Highlights

Stelvio Pass Experience

At the second-highest paved pass in the Alps, this Stelvio motorcycle stage takes you down 49 legendary switchbacks, and at the summit you can enjoy the famous sausage in ciabatta bread – a must-stop on any Alpine motorcycle tour.

Kühtai Saddle Stage

This Kühtai motorcycle stage takes the old Brenner road into Italy and continues over the Jaufenpass back to Austria – a varied stage through two countries with a constant change of curves.

Hahntennjoch Curves

This Hahntennjoch motorcycle stage takes you into the Lechtal and on over the Hochtannbergpass into the Bregenzerwald, before returning via the Furkajoch to the Silvretta – a fireworks display of passes for experienced riders.
