Edelweiss Bike Travel 2010 by Impulse Travel

A support vehicle accompanies every tour (except at: TOURING CENTERS, on Ride4Fun tours, Scooter tours & training sessions), which allows you to ride free of luggage and to bring along enough clothing to feel comfortable during your whole vacation. You will be pleased to find your luggage already in your hotel room after a full day of fine riding.

Do you love adventure? Do you want to experience foreign cultures, unusual landscapes and unique physical challenges? Edelweiss Adventure Tours will bring out the world traveller in you.

Comfortable hotels After a great day of riding everyone enjoys the amenities of the comfortable hotels we have chosen for our tours.

EDELWEISS BENEFITS

Sometimes the riding days will be long and there will not always be tarmac under our two wheels. You should be able to handle these conditions. Our specially trained adventure tour guides are there for you every inch of the way. They can teach you new riding skills en route or introduce you to the local region’s mysteries. Check with us if you are not sure that you are able to handle a particular Adventure Tour!

The best tour guides

Setting the standard higher, these tours consist of small groups and more rest days. You want to feel like royalty on your deserved vacation? If so, Royal Tours are for you. Royal tour hotel standards are higher, their meals exquisite & the overall level of service taken to the next level, one never before experienced by motorcyclists.

Our multilingual tour guides are known for their professionalism and enthusiasm. He or she is a pro in every respect. Edelweiss tour guides undergo a very tough selection process. Only one out of 20 applicants qualifies for the job. The training is extensive and starts in the classroom. The tour director level is reached only after three full seasons of learning the art of being helpful, friendly and fun to be with, all day and every day, besides the number one goal: safety!

Edelweiss offers a number of Scouting Tours to destinations that are new and exciting. These tours can be on easy roads or contain a portion of natural surface, gravel and dirt. Riding routes, sights and accommodations can vary a lot. A preliminary list of 2010 Scouting Tours is contained in this catalogue (p. 87).

Up to now more than 28,500 customers have been on an Edelweiss tour somewhere in the world & have experienced the benefits of the world’s leading motorcycle touring company.

Late model motorcycles You can choose from a wide variety of late model motorcycles from different manufacturers. Most of our motorcycles have ABS, saddlebags, heated grips – detailed information about the motorcycle accessories you will get from your Edelweiss agent. A small tank bag for some necessities is standard on all motorcycles.

Careful tour preparation We work on improving tour details year after year – you arrive, ride and enjoy, from day one. As a rider you will get a tour information package before the tour starts so you can prepare yourself for the tour accordingly. The information will contain a road map, the tour book as well as hotel information.

Fantastic Edelweiss picnics Meantime a trademark of Edelweiss tours – our Edelweiss tour guides will prepare for you the finest picnics in unique landscapes on nearly all tours (for details, see page 8).

Edelweiss WORLDTOURER membership The Edelweiss WORLDTOURER program for our repeat customers will render further benefits such as additional overnights, motorcycle upgrading or tours at half the price (for details, see page 101).

To make you ready for a tour Edelweiss offers a number of training possibilities. Riding in countries with completely different traffic conditions and roads that you are not used to can be difficult - our training helps you enjoy your Edelweiss Tour much more and make it a safer ride! These tours offer great riding and fantastic scenery as well as sights you have never seen. It’s a more basic motorcycle journey with the tour guide on the motorcycle but no support van. It’s like at home when you go on tour, and the tour price is attractive. It’s new, it’s exciting. Riding scooters in Italy or France is indeed a pleasure for many people who are not motorcycle riders. The daily distances are shorter, the riding style less ambitious. These Edelweiss Scooter Tours are great for families and for friends, who want to experience the Italian and French way of life more closely!

DISCOVER OUR EARTH

EUROPE AMERICA AFRICA

You ride free of luggage

If you’ve long dreamed of taking a vacation in the world’s best motorcycle regions, then you must visit at least one of our Touring Centers. On these convenient tours, guests do daytrips from the same attractive, centrally located hotel. This breeds great regional familiarity and relief from having to pack and unpack every day. An Edelweiss Touring Center is the ideal motorcycle holiday to bring non-riding family members along. While you are discovering the best routes, they can enjoy the hotel and regional sights.

ASIA

Our Edelweiss policy is very clear about one thing: you don’t have to stay with the group during the day’s ride on nearly all tours. You are free to ride the route of your choice every day in a little group of your own or you can join the tour guide and benefit from his knowledge and experience.

Our well trained tour guides will be at your service during the whole tour and will show you the best roads and sights along the route. They are fun to be with and love their job. Imagine how relaxed you will be on such a journey.

It’s time to celebrate! 30 years of touring our earth on motorcycles leaves a lot of memories, many new and old friends and experiences that have changed some of our opinions about how our planet functions and what the human race can do to make it an even better place. We met the French and Italians in 1981 riding to the French Riviera and Venice – great people! When we toured Tunisia in 1982 for the first time, the locals surrounded us en masse every time we stopped. Sometimes it was sometimes hard to ride out into the intriguing desert. We saw the incredible scenery in the USA and Canada in 1984 and how relaxed and friendly the people are in both countries. Breaking into the Soviet Union in 1988 was not an act of war but a peaceful project after long negotiations with Intourist. Meeting the people with the deep Russian soul will make it impossible for those who joined us to take part in WW III. Getting close to these experiences and many more will be part of the 30-year celebration in the Alps in September 2010! You can be part of it. Here’s what this Edelweiss celebration is all about:

Edelweiss tours offer a great variety of riding challenges and riding time per day. Some tours are easy to manage, even for inexperienced riders. Others demand strong riding skills and endurance every day. In order to assist you in your selection of the best destination and tour, we have rated every single tour.

RIDING HOURS

ROUTE GRADING

4 to 6 h 5 to 7 h 6 to 8 h 7 to 9 h

EASY INTERMEDIATE TOUGH OFF ROAD

HOURS PER DAY

This is important for you and your passenger. Some tour members want to ride all day, others want to stop more frequently, meet the locals and see the sights and relax before dinner in the evening! The riding hours indicated with every tour description include time for coffee stops and photo stops, but do not include time for picnics/lunches. Normally you will start riding at 9:00 am in the morning, with a lunch break for about one hour somewhere between 12:00 noon and 2:00 pm. So if riding hours are indicated as 6-8 you will be arriving at the hotel between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Many tour days give the option to ride route 1 (shorter) or route 2 (more riding). So pick the right route for yourself and, if applicable, your passenger!

ROUTE GRADING & HOURS PER DAY

ROUTE GRADING One of the most important features of any Edelweiss tour is the right route. We take time to choose and test-ride route 1 and route 2. For experienced motorcyclists the smaller roads with less traffic and lots of turns are close to paradise. This route may be too demanding to handle for beginners or intermediates. Edelweiss tours cover the world. Riding conditions, traffic flow, local driving habits, roads, no roads vary a lot on this planet. All these factors go into our ROUTE GRADING. If you have never been on tour outside your home country and you have no experience riding extremely curvy mountain roads, stay with the EASY or INTERMEDIATE tours. If in doubt, send us an e-mail or call!

Easy The whole route is on asphalt. The road will at times be curvy, but mostly easy to handle. Riding hours can be cut short by taking route 1. Even on our EASY TOURS you must be able to ride your motorcycle. Do not expect to learn to ride on the tour.

Intermediate Asphalt routes. There can be sections of very narrow winding roads. In the mountains tight switchbacks. Traffic sometimes intense and not what you may be used to. Experience is required!

Tough In general, asphalt routes. There may be construction work requiring riding on gravel for some distance. Some quite long riding days. Very intense and unusual traffic at times. You must be a very experienced rider for our TOUGH TOURS!

If the total balance is not received 60 days before tour start, EBTR reserves the right to treat this reservation as cancelled and charge the cancellation fee. Motorcycle rental/safety deposit Rental motorcycles are provided as part of the tour package. The type and make vary to fit the type of riding on each tour. The majority of the rental motorcycles are BMWs. The pictures of the motorcycles in this catalog do not always represent the exact version of the motorcycles provided. Most of them have luggage cases, some have backrests. Please ask our agent if you need more detailed information. EBTR reserves the right to change the type and/or make of motorcycle confirmed to tour participants. EBTR strives to ensure that all participants ride the motorcycle they are confirmed on and is very proud of their record of doing so. Unfortunately, at times, certain unexpected and uncontrollable situations arise which may require a change of motorcycle. This includes, but is not limited to, mechanical failure, collision damage and theft.

This constitutes the maximum liability of EBTR. A safety deposit must be paid at the EBTR rental center at the time of hand-over of the motorcycle at the beginning of the rental period. The amount of this safety deposit is equal to the amount of the deductible of the vehicle insurance and is listed on page 9. EBTR reserves the right to adjust the amount of this safety deposit and deductible without notice. This safety deposit will be refunded upon return of the undamaged motorcycle to EBTR. Some rental centers require a separate rental contract for the rental motorcycle to be signed at the rental station. The rental period is not interrupted due to the inability of a renter to ride or for any other reason. During the tour EBTR is not obliged to replace a damaged motorcycle.

This European delight is for the rider and passenger who want to ride the Alps and take in a variety of cultures from five different countries. Starting in central Europe, smooth riding roads lead you through medieval towns and dense forests. Later the ride heads for the heart of the Alps, where the roads are narrower and twisties abound. Leaving Munich you head north, passing by towns that have remnants of city walls, cobblestone streets and houses dating back to the 15th century and on to Rothenburg.

Your luggage will be waiting in a grand old hotel of this fortified city with a castle, pubs, and restaurants that have existed for the past 500 years! A highlight on the second day of riding is Odenwald Forest, often linked to German folklore sagas – to motorcyclists it is an uncountable number of small hilly twisties. On the third riding day we head into the Black Forest region, known for its cuckoo clocks and Black Forest Cake. The next day will be a rest day and you can decide yourself whether to go for a ride to the French Alsace region or spend another day in the Black Forest. On the next two days get ready to collect some mountain passes on our way through Switzerland and Austria back to Munich.

Imagine that the base hotel is located in a dream landscape where thick Alpine forests meet lush green pastures; where you can see the access roads to the Alpine passes from your room. Imagine the hotel is just the right size, has a pool, sauna, massage and a golf course just across the street. Imagine taking your non-motorcycling family members along while you enjoy the Alpine twisties. Imagine unpacking and packing your luggage just once during the entire tour. Experience all this and more at the Touring Center Alps, a unique concept from Edelweiss. Just fly into Innsbruck and we’ll whisk you away to Seefeld, about 20 miles southeast of Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Just ride your beamer out of the hotel parking lot. We’ll take care of the rest. Starting from the same base every day, ride a maze of different twisties zigzagging through the Alps.

TRAINING

This is the place we know, this is the measure by which all other adventures are compared. Every meter of these roads, every menu, every hotel, every roadside, lunch spot and camera opportunity is etched in our memory, ready to share with you. If ever there was a place on earth that was made for the eye and the camera, it is surely the Alps. We have chosen the very best of those roads, selected the choicest hotels and can offer the best guidance of whatever you might want to see. We know what is here, this is our home, and we offer it to you. We’ll pick up the motorcycles in Munich and take a beautiful orientation ride to Warth, Austria, a small ski village nestled in the Alps, and the next day we’re off for Fürigen, Switzerland.

RIDE4FUN

If the road to Fürigen can be described as pure color drama, then Fürigen with its view of Lucerne is the climactic encore of that drama. You may wish to take the cog tram to Mt. Pilatus, or visit Castle Meggenhorn, or simply sit on a bench and watch the sun set over Lake Lucerne. The next day we’re off to Zermatt, where you will watch in awe as the setting sun colors the snow-covered Matterhorn a deep crimson. And yet, Lugano, Switzerland is even more spectacular, so that’s where we’ll go next. From Lugano it’s off to Italy. We continue through the Dolomites to Bolzano, the city of flowers, which is mind-bending in its beauty. If you could take only one motorcycle trip in Europe in your life, this is the one we would suggest. Welcome to our home.

TRAINING

4 to 6 h EASY A first look at the map shows you the geographical location and situation of the region immediately. The countryside is dominated by mountains and rivers, bigger towns like Bolzano, where our base hotel is 5 to 7 h INTERMEDIATE located. Bressanone or Merano are located where rivers meet. Water formed those deep, gorge-like valleys, 6 to 8 h TOUGH which have just space enough for a road and railroad tracks. Once, after you have opened the heart of 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD the men with “a blue apron and a red nose”, as they are mocked, you can be their best friend. Thinking Details, see page 102 about Italian culture you will realize a big difference to what you expect. Building style, people, language, bilingual road signs and special food show that other roots dominate here. The reason is to be found in history. When we are settled in our comfortable hotel we are ready for day 1. The Sella Ronda is a very good warm-up for the following days. We enjoy the first switchbacks and get used to our motorcycles, the road conditions and have enough time for the first outstanding “Kodak moments” to make everybody jealous. Day 2 offers a day in Bolzano, to visit the “Iceman”, and a short afternoon ride or an extended ride to Penserjoch, Jaufenpass and Timmelsjoch. More curves, more scenery, more fun! The day of the passes! Day 3 gives us the opportunity to do eight passes including a stop in the nice little town of Cortina d’Ampezzo, well known from the Olympics in 1956. The afternoon leads us to Passo di Fedaia, where we stop to enjoy a Cappuccino while we look at the Marmolada Glacier before we head for more curves and passes. Day 4 the day of decisions: go to Venice for sightseeing or collect 10 more passes? Hard decision! And the last riding day leads us south to the wonderful Lake Garda, with swimming and riding at it´s best.

Starting out in the rolling hills of Bavaria with its abundance of green pastures and healthy cows, we cross into the Austrian part of this huge mountain range. We continue into Switzerland where the first snowcovered glaciers are waiting for us. The curvy mountain roads provide plenty of opportunity to discover why the Alps are famous! And it gets better: we head for the Alps’ highest mountain, located in the French Alps. Once again, the landscape is a little different, the coffee offered in the local restaurant tastes a little different, the flowers have a different smell and the language changes.

The Alps – every motorcyclist’s dream! But the Alps are not just the Alps – there is a tremendous amount of variety from region to region: we will show you most of it.

Info & Pictures:

But the final highlight is still ahead: Italy! The home of the espresso, of innumerable scooters and beautiful red motorcycles and cars seems to be made of twisties and turns, beautiful lakes and towering mountains. The “mother of all passes” is waiting for us: Passo di Stelvio with its 87 (!) switchbacks. Before we return to Munich, the Dolomites and the Grossglockner High Alpine Road provide some of the last highlights of this tour! One thing is for sure: the impressions you collected during these two weeks will make you want to come back!

Ride fast motorcycles across „Bella Italia” to experience one of the best Moto GP races on the 2010 calendar! Fans of sinuous curves, fast bikes, Valentino Rossi and great scenery will love this trip to the Doctor’s home Moto GP race. After a rich German breakfast, we leave the green hills of Upper Bavaria and climb into the Alps. We enjoy an endless array of narrow switchbacks riding up the Grossglockner Pass, one of the most famous motorcycle roads in the world. After a bowl of “Knödelsuppe,” we seek out more hairpins in the Dolomites. After savouring the Mediterranean flair of Lake Garda, we get ready for Rossi’s two-wheel ballet. Deep in the heart of Tuscany, the picturesque Mugello track and the Moto GP circus are sure to give us a great day of racing.

Those who want to forego the Moto GP race day are welcome to relax in the comfortable villa – where we stay for the next two days. In order to beat the rest of the country to the track, we make an early departure on Sunday morning to root for Rossi. On our way back to Munich we stop at the romantic city of Verona. Then, after our last supper, we can share the excitement of our tour and bench-racing stories one more time before taking these memories home.

MUSEUMS AND CASTLES TOUR RID

The 2010 RIDER Museum and Castle Tour starts in Stuttgart. The newly built Porsche Museum is the right kick-off for this tour – the roads where we will be riding most of the time seem to have been built especially for Porsches – and for motorcyclists! Of course, there will be sufficient time to explore the additional car and motorcycle museums and castles on the way. The route will initially guide you to the south, across the southwestern German hills and past Lake Constance, Germany’s largest lake. This is the border to Switzerland, the little state in the center of the European Union. But the next day we are already back in Germany, where the famous Black Forest is waiting for us – not only with cuckoo clocks and cake, but also with first-class motorcycle roads. The Vosges and the Alsace mountain ranges, where we will spend the next couple of days, offer some of the best motorcycle roads in this part of the world! The rest day gives you the opportunity to relax – or to add a few more miles on beautiful mountain roads. Before we head back to Stuttgart another highlight awaits us: Heidelberg with its famous castle. At the end of the week you’ll be surprised how fast the time flew by!

Vienna, Prague, Dresden, Cracow and Budapest – a tour through the heartland of European medieval history. Our trip starts in Vienna – the capital of the waltz. After some sightseeing in this beautiful city, we start our engines and ride north – Budweis – in the Czech Republic is waiting for us – and of course its world famous beer! We continue direct into the heart of Prague, maybe the most scenic city in all of 4 to 6 h EASY Europe – you’ll love it. Some people spend a week; we will have at least our first rest day in this historical 5 to 7 h INTERMEDIATE city. Get on your bikes and let’s ride to Germany - we ride all day on little roads before we cross the 6 to 8 h TOUGH border and discover the city of Dresden. 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD Have you ever heard of the “Frauenkirche”? Well today you’ll get to know it, Dresden’s most famous building right after the opera house. Enjoy your second rest day downtown or take your bike to explore Details, see page 102 the Elbe river with its picturesque rock formations. Cruising along the Elbe we head back into the Czech Republic and after one night in Opava we enter another country – Poland. Now it’s so easy to travel – no more border controls – welcome to the new Europe! Cracow is probably the best preserved medieval town that you can visit these days. Just enjoy your third rest day and follow the “King’s Walk” through the historical centre of town. Of course, there’s good riding nearby: Zakopane, world famous for its ski jump is right around the corner. On our way to Budapest we cross the Tatra Mountains and spend one night in Banska Bystrica before we reach the capital of Hungary. Exotic and cosmopolitan, the city spans the banks of the Danube River. A last rest day in Budapest is a delight in every aspect. Wine and goulash are served for dinner, which is also called “Mulatschak”. On our last riding day we head back to Vienna, Austria. A motorcycle ride through Eastern Europe – what an experience!

DATE: July START/FINISH: Munich DURATION: 12 day vacation, 10 riding days ROUTE: Total distance 1750 miles (2800 km), daily rides 90 - 200 miles (145 - 320 km). The route takes us on some of the greatest Alpine roads through breathtaking mountain scenery. ACCOMMODATION: First-class and luxury hotels, some in historic buildings. REST DAYS: Salzburg, Dolomites, Merano, St. Moritz SPECIAL FEATURES: Alps Riding Training: On this tour we optionally offer a full-day training and safety course.

EUROPE

If you want the ultimate in riding, sightseeing, relaxing, dining and enjoying two weeks of your life exactly as you please, this special deluxe tour fits the ticket. This tour takes time in wonderful places to explore the surrounding mountains. This is a more in-depth exploration of the Alps than we have ever done before. Solo riders and, in particular, couples who have seen the Alps before will be delighted to take a closer look at their own pace. The trip starts with a leisurely ride to Salzburg, one of the most charming towns in Europe. Two nights here leave a great spectrum of activities to enjoy: explore the Old Town, ride up to the castle, enjoy a concert or go to the lake region nearby and see the mountains where “The Sound of Music” was filmed. The next day’s ride across the Grossglockner is always an experience, even if you’ve done it many times before. Our next stop for three nights is right in the Dolomites, where the stunning beauty of nature rivals with the famous mountain roads around Gruppo di Sella. Window of opportunities: Ride the Dolomites for one or two days, or reward yourself with a day trip to Venice, where many royals have spent their honeymoon. Merano, a favorite vacation spot of the last Austrian Empress nestled in the South Tyrolean Alps, is a spa and a great place to spend two days. Strolling under the arcades, shopping for Italian delights or taking a ride into Austria across Timmelsjoch are just some of the opportunities. St. Moritz calls next, and to this day it is the place where the jet setters of the new millenium meet when they want to ski, ride, celebrate or just be seen. It offers everything you could wish for: taking a walk on Diavolezza Glacier, buying that Swiss watch you always wanted or doing the 10 passes to Andermatt and back and arriving absolutely exhausted. There is, of course, the relaxing ride down to Lago di Como for the more easy-going group. The last two days bring rides to Austria’s Arlberg region via Liechtenstein. In Lech, English Royals learned to ski, and in Neuschwanstein King Ludwig built one of his castles. After these two weeks you will feel like royals yourself and understand why this trip is called The Royal Alpine Vacation.

Can beautiful roads still be found in Italy? Do remote, lightly travelled by-ways that meander through captivating scenery exist? Yes, they still exist in Tuscany, Umbria and Marche. Enjoy the splendid roads on this dazzling motorcycle journey through the ancient lands of the Etruscans and Romans. We’ll show you all the region has to offer. A tour for serious riders as well as connoisseurs of culture and history, this adventure starts and ends in the fabled city of Florence. Firenze, as it’s known to the locals, is worth a voyage across the Atlantic all by itself. Our first riding day in Tuscany snakes through the Chianti Classico region. As the first pages of this picture-book tour unfold, the hills fade into a grayish blue with stone pines, “castelli“ and “centri storici“ flashing by as we roll toward Siena. The city of Siena teems with culture and history. This is where the Palio, the legendary historical horse race, gallops through the “Piazza del Campo“, Siena’s main square. Emotions reach the boiling point as the fierce rivalry between the “Contrade“ renews its centuries-old tradition. For a more relaxed afternoon, take a quiet side trip through the hills of central Tuscany. The trip to Assisi will be one of spiritual renewal. At Madonna della Cima, high above Gubbio, we’ll behold the beauty of Umbria. Next, we push off for San Marino, the city that is a country unto itself. Our final rest day can be used to explore the great castles and fortresses of Montefeltro. After this reprieve, we come upon our grand finale: a jaunt through the mountain passes across the Alpi di Serra and Casentin on our way back to Florence.

On the following day, we travel past the old city of Syrakus. Riding south-east of Agrigento we’ll find ourselves in the Valley of Temples, which encompasses the largest collection of ancient Greek temples and ruins outside of Greece. Mafia buffs will want to visit the historic villages of Prizzi and Corleone. A trip to the notorious city of Palermo is also a possibility. Continuing through unpopulated, hilly roads, we dissect the island from south to north, reaching the romantic fishing village of Cefalù by evening. After endless curves with the distant view of Mount Etna always in sight we reach our final destination – Catania. Just in time for one last cappuccino in the Old City before our Southern Italian dream comes to an end.

This one-way Edelweiss tour commences in Italy’s impressive capital of Rome – a charming, exciting city of paradoxes, old and new. Making our way through the breathtaking beauty of Italy’s southern regions, we have time to stop and admire such famous landmarks as the Mount Vesuvius, the world-famous Costa Amalfitana and the buried city of Pompei outside Naples. We’ll overnight in the quaint fishing villages of Aquafredda and Amantea before our ferry crossing to Sicily. During our rest day in Taormina, you can explore the narrow, twisting streets of this beautiful hillside village or take a gander at the active Etna Volcano by taking a scenic ride around the mountain.

Spain, and in particular, Andalusia, was always associated with fiery steeds and proud horsemen. They do have plenty of fire – our horses. We are the knights, in our colorful suits of armor. So let’s ride on our stallions, first up the small Sierras to Granada, home of the Alhambra, the most splendid palace the Moorish caliphs ever built. It is a magnificent picture, with the snow-covered Sierra Nevada as a backdrop. Next on our trail is Antequera, an old Andalusian town with historic buildings around every corner. From here the road meanders through rolling hills covered with olive and almond tree groves.

Black fighting bulls rub their hide lazily on rough cork oaks. During our rest day in Arcos de la Frontera, history is to be explored in this ancient place or a ride to Seville or Cádiz savoured. We stop in Gibraltar, not far from Africa, before we arrive at the spectacular town of Ronda situated on both sides of the Tajo Canyon, which is very narrow and 500 feet deep. The nearby bullfight arena is said to be the place where the classical Spanish bullfight was first celebrated. On the last day we ride our high-tech horses through the Sierra and along the white beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. Is it our imagination or do we really hear one of the boxers scrape a hind leg on the ground for a farewell?

We spend a rest day in Sevilla and immerse ourselves in the delightful shopping, luxurious 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD food (you’ll love the Tapas!) and endless history of this beautiful city. Those who are a slave to the saddle and crave not rest, can take a short side trip to Huelva, where Columbus first hoisted his sails for the ’new’ Details, see page 102 world. The city is a mecca of history for Columbophiles. Next, we leave the hilly region of the Algarve to enjoy the curvy roads of the Sierra de Monchique. The whole city of Lisbon is a work of art. The historic city center is built on seven hills making some of the streets too steep for motor vehicles – so better swap your “beemer” for walking shoes to enjoy the beauty of this enchanting town. The next riding day will be a long one, but it is worth it. Then we ride into the Sierra Morenas, which range from the Portuguese border to the Sierra Alcaraz: 400 kilometers of challenging twisties, enough to delight even the most hardcore rider. Cordoba is our last stop before heading back, our point of embarkation. On our last riding day we will burn another couple of million megabytes on the “pueblos blancos” that are so characteristic for this region. Back in sweet Malaga it's more rest on the beaches and in the beautiful downtown restaurants. The adventure is over — we have travelled far and discovered much, and Christopher Columbus has nothing on us.

MAY 29 - JUN 05 JUN 05 - 12 The Pyrenees mountain range, a natural border between Spain and France, has peaks that reach more SEP 18 - 25 than 10000 feet toward the heavens. In winter they get a lot of snow, but in summertime the region is a motorcycling paradise! Our take-off point is Barcelona, located on the Mediterranean Sea’s Costa Brava. Spain’s most stylish city has unusual parks, the historic “Barri Gòthic”, Antoni Gaudí’s breathtaking La Sagrada Familia, perhaps Spain’s most famous building and an unforgettable nightlife. Let’s go! Leaving Barcelona on major highways, we get to know our new Beemers. For a brief respite, we’ll take in the famous Monestir de Montserrat, a 1000-year-old monastery, before climbing into the mountains. 4 to 6 h EASY Beautiful, curvy roads lead us deeper and deeper into the backland of Barcelona and the Catalan 5 to 7 h INTERMEDIATE Mountain World. We’ll cross the Pyrenees on the Col de Puymorens. Bonjour! Now we’re in the French 6 to 8 h TOUGH town of Carcassonne delightfully enclosed by medieval walls and lined with picturesque alleys. We stay at 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD a hotel right in the center of it all, where time seems to have gone back a few hundred years. Here we’ll enjoy a day of rest. Feel free to hang around the ancient city’s downtown, or take a loop to the south. It’s Details, see page 102 up to you – freedom is the key word here! The next day arrives with a boisterous buenas dias, because we are leaving France and crossing the border into Spain on the Pyrenees’ main ridge. Playfully goosing our bikes from corner to corner and relaxing in the straights, we’ll fly along these beautiful roads, where traffic is non-existent! Now for something totally different, after leaving the mountains of the Pyrenees behind, we head for the sea. One of Europe’s greatest costal roads is scheduled for our last day. Sant Felice to Lloret de Mar is a fitting farewell ride before hitting Barcelona. Sitting outside on the Ramblas in this cosmopolitan city’s posh setting, having a glass of wine, you’ll reminisce about your time in the Pyrenees – a perfect playground for our beamers!

„Kalw irqate ethu ‘Ellada“ – “Welcome to Greece!” In Greece you will find historic sights around every corner. The battle of Thivia, the remnants of Delphi, well known for the oracle, Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympics, the theater of Epidauros, where the myths have been played or the Byzanthine city of Mystras – just to name a few. And in between? Roads made for motorcyclists, most of them in 4 to 6 h EASY untouched countryside with almost deserted looking places, leading through olive, lemon and orange 5 to 7 h INTERMEDIATE groves and vineyards. Original Greek food, Retsina, Ouzo and Metaxa in the evenings will complete the 6 to 8 h TOUGH “Greek feeling”. 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD Our route leads from Athens to Delphi, where you can ask the oracle about your fate the next day or take your motorcycle on roads that are partly the stage for the Acropolis Car Rally. Continuing to Olympia, Details, see page 102 endless mountain roads lead through a landscape, where the solitude is only interrupted by villages almost camouflaged in the countryside. Riding closer, houses will appear out of the scenery; men sitting at outdoor cafés will turn their heads and eyes to us strangers on motorcycles. Heading towards Kalamata – best known for excellent olives – you can look for some more challenging mountain roads or simply stay along the coast. The caves of Dirou and the towers of Vathia are the highlights before the day ends in the fishing village of Githio. Heading out the next day, the road towards Nafplio climbs into Alpine looking regions. Pine trees replace olive trees, the road winds up to Cosmas. More small roads, sight-seeing in town, the island of Spetses or the theatre of Epidauros? It is hard to make a decision for this day. The final day offers one last time almost all the variations of Greece: mountains, olives, orange and lemon groves, beaches, historical sites and last but not least the famous Corinthian Canal. Now, are you curious, are you ready to go for it? – Then: „Have a nice trip!“

4 to 6 h EASY Have you ever met a troll? Legend has it that these mountain ogres roam the barren and rugged peaks of Norway – and that's where we are going to spend five outstanding days! Bearing witness to Norway’s 5 to 7 h INTERMEDIATE glacial past, we’ll ride through breathtaking scenery on roads that leave nary a traveler’s wish unfulfilled – 6 to 8 h TOUGH from the top of Dalsnibba, down to sea level and the country’s vast array of beautiful fjords. Home base 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD for this trip is the new Norway Touring Center in Ålesund. This picturesque and charming little town is Details, see page 102 built on rocks that protrude into the sea. Our hotel is part of the harbor and feels reminiscent of Venice, Italy. We’ll begin with a visit to the island of Runde via an easy ride along the coast and a refreshing boat ride. The small land mass is home to half a million seabirds. Hiking up the bird-festooned rock, you will hear the noise of 500,000 beaks the entire time! The next day’s highlight is the legendary Geiranger Fjord. The road that winds down to the water and swirls up again is just as spectacular as the fjord itself, a view captured on postcards seen at curio shops all over the country. Lucky us, we’ll take a boat ride through the Geiranger! The following day is dedicated to troll hunting! On our Beemers, we’ll climb up the Troll’s Ladder, Norway’s most famous and one of Europe’s most extreme mountain passes. With eight storm-lashed bridges connecting 17 islands, this path is reminiscent of the Florida Keys’ strand of over-water highways. This loop takes us to the wind-torn islands and on to Kristiansund. No fewer than ten fjords are on our last day’s schedule. This final jaunt is marked by countless sweeping turns as memorable as the pristine views of nature, steep mountains above and crystal-clear water below. At the end of this week there is no dark night, but a bright farewell evening, as the sun never sets on Norway’s horizon.

After a visit to a brewery with traditional food the next day, we will ride to the beautiful town of Budweis/Czech Republic. On narrow roads we continue on our way to the Moto GP Race Track Sachsenring. A full-day training on this amazing race track awaits us. We follow the historical Schleiz Triangle race track before we reach Wartburg Castle in Eisenach. An overnight stop in the old town of Bamberg, since 1993 a UNESCO site, is quite an experience! Our last riding day leads us through the so-called Franconian Switzerland, one of Germany’s best motorcycle areas – back to our base hotel in Erding. What a week – unbelievable!

To add even more pleasure, you have the daily choice if you want to spend more time in the saddle and explore the region, or if you would rather arrive a bit earlier at the hotel and spend a little more time there… A perfect ending every day is the Californian cuisine, with its mixture of fresh American and Mexican dishes and of course lots of seafood!

Some of America’s greatest landscapes are found in “Red Rock Country.“ The region just northeast of Las Vegas abounds with the unforgettable dramas of nature. Even Edelweiss tourers who have traveled with us many times continue to enjoy this tour, some of them for the second or third time with new experiences on each trip. Las Vegas is a great place to start exploring the Grand Canyon and historic Route 66. Hoover Dam and Lake Mead lead the trip. Route 66 from Kingman to Williams revives the Fifties and Sixties. Williams is a good base camp to discover the grandest of all canyons by airplane, helicopter, motorcycle or on foot. After a great ride to Page, the trip to Monument Valley on the rest day can take up to 12 hours or more! But a boat ride on Lake Powell is a more relaxing option. Zion National Park or Bryce Canyon are the options for seeing some of the greatest red rock formations in the world. The ride back to Vegas opens vistas into the Valley of Fire and across Lake Mead.

Where do you start a tour of California, the most visually and culturally diverse state in the whole USA? In Las Vegas, Nevada, of course! When it comes to ceremonial beginnings and endings, everything starts and ends in glittery, otherworldly Las Vegas. And from there, things get hotter! The next day we cross over into California and spend the first night in Death Valley. Then we head west and up into Yosemite National Park. 4 to 6 h EASY It's no wonder that the legendary photographer Ansel Adams spent an entire lifetime trying to capture the 5 to 7 h INTERMEDIATE varied and spectacular beauty of Yosemite. Sadly, we'll only have a couple of days to try and photograph 6 to 8 h TOUGH the flora and fauna, waterfalls, mountain passes and endless vistas of Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. 7 to 9 h OFF ROAD The beauty here in these California mountains rivals any in the world, and you'll be able to prove it. Details, see page 102 We'll take the famous Tioga Road out of Yosemite and pass Mono Lake, the world's largest crater lake with its rock and calcium formations. It's a geologist's dream. From there it's straight north to sparkling Lake Tahoe. Those familiar with the Mark Twain travelogue "Roughing It", will recall that the water is so crystal clear, that on a calm day, Native Americans boating in the shallows said they were 'water flying.' Indeed, the water is so clear and the bottom appears so close, that it feels as if you are flying over dry land. After an overnight stay in Tahoe, we follow Mark Twain's route to one of his favorite cities, San Francisco. It is our first rest day, and we have the difficult choice of places to visit: Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, North Beach, Chinatown... the list is endless. San Francisco is a world class city and port, and can provide you with whatever you desire, from music to theater to restaurants. From San Francisco we head south on the sublime Highway 1 through Carmel, home of Clint Eastwood; Big Sur, made famous by Kerouac; Morro Bay, "The Birds"; Santa Barbara, made famous by †Michael Jackson (you can't win 'em all); and another rest day in Santa Monica, home of the stars and made famous by the pier and bodybuilding. The next day we pass through Joshua National Forest, and then back to Las Vegas. Remember what they say: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but you’re free to brag about the rest of your California adventure for the rest of your life.

This is the route for the tour that starts in Los Angeles and ends in Seattle. Book your flight accordingly!

The tour starts in Southern California, where – according to the song – it never rains. The landscape is correspondingly dry, almost desertlike, but fortunately we have the blue Pacific on the left and the green coastal mountains on the right. The stretch to San Francisco has enough highlights for a whole week: the Pismo Sand Dunes, Santa Barbara, Hearst Castle, Carmel, Cannery Row in Monterey… As a bonus, there are sea elephants, seals and pelicans to be seen along the way. Further north, the trees become a lot taller, you have entered the region of the famous redwoods. Crossing through Oregon, you finally reach Washington State.

The Pacific Coast Highway on the American West Coast is considered to be one of the most beautiful roads in the world. For a good reason: the picturesque beauty of the landscape, the unbelievable mixture of colors and the interesting cities – quite often with Spanish heritage – make this road absolutely unique. Add some twisties and hills and you have a dream road that makes for a great motorcycle vacation! You will get to know three states – California, Oregon and Washington State, which have a lot in common, but at the same time are also very different – you’ll see why.

It appears that all of the pine tree forests, sparkling lakes & rivers, and mountain ranges are found here in the western portion of Canada and Seattle, Washington State – where your journey begins. This spectacular ride through Washington State and Canada’s western wilderness will leave you with 2000 miles of memories. The Canadian Rockies are on the northern end of the North America Rocky Mountain Range and run through two of Canada’s provinces, British Columbia & Alberta. Towns like Banff and Jasper make you feel like you’re in the Great White North. The infamous Icefields Parkway with its snow-capped mountains is surrounded by aqua blue waters and large glaciers. You will be visiting and riding through a variety of Canadian National Parks. If you have not seen a wild animal yet, keep looking, it’ll happen.

www.edelweissbike.com

Mount Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies and is particularly impressive, because it stands on the continental divide towering over one of the lowest passes in the Canadian Rockies and on the Yellowhead Highway. Not only does this part of North America offer excellent sightseeing, but the curving roads will allow you to enjoy your motorcycle to the fullest. The last leg of this journey will take you into Vancouver for a rest day. From here, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Victoria, a city with British flavour, and Vancouver Island. There is no other way to experience Canada and the northwest of the USA, like you will do on your two-wheeled machine!

Looking at the map of Baja California, it is apparent that almost the whole peninsula consists of mountain ranges. The road leading from north to south follows these mountains and winds around them for the full length of Baja. The attraction of “Lower California” comes from its wide variety of scenery, vegetation and climate. This tour starts in San Diego, a world-class city that is home to SeaWorld and a great maritime museum. The first day of riding takes us through cool mountain air to Ensenada. From Catavina it’s 240 miles through rocky desert and cactus groves to San Ignacio. Whale watching opportunities exist along the coastline, depending on the season. Riding across the peninsula brings us to the Sea of Cortez, all along great winding roads. After heading inland, we reach the Bay of La Paz. The last riding day is the most rewarding: the road between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas is full of great twisties, through the mountains of Sierra de la Laguna. San Jose del Cabo’s Old World plaza brims with traditional hospitality and overflows with unique shops, golden treasures, and temples of creative cuisine. It is enhanced with the traditional luxury and attentive service of an earlier age with the most modern comforts and conveniences.

By way of Santiago we reach the little town of Osorno in southern Chile, where our bikes are waiting for us. We start to the north and right after Pucon, close to Lake Villarica, we cross the border into Argentina. Through the beautiful Lake District we curve to Bariloche, the Number One ski resort in South America! Enjoy your first rest day in the Latin Alps. Going south our roads constantly change from good pavement to gravel, during the whole tour. I still can not believe it, we are really riding through Patagonia – on perfect motorcycles. Through Esquel, Puyuhuapi und Coihaique we arrive at the world famous Perito Moreno Glacier, close to Calafate – what an amazing place for our second rest day! The further south, the more challenging the ride gets, gravel roads and strong side-winds are common. Crossing the border back to Chile the Torres del Paine National Park awaits us. Another rest day gives us the chance to explore this picturesque massif by foot or, of course, on our bikes. Now it’s time to take the ferry: Strait of Magellan, here we come. Once on the other side, we ride our bikes across Tierra del Fuego, the last stretch of the Pan-American Highway down to Ushuaia – at the end of the world! Of course, everybody gets a picture with his bike here! On our last rest day we have the opportunity to visit the nearby parks etc. before we ride via Rio Grande back to Punta Arenas in Chile.

Once underway on land, curvy mountain roads between Orient and Occident greet us as we descend upon Rabat and Marrakech, set in the foothills of the Grand Atlas. Suddenly, the oriental influence becomes prevalent: souks and narrow alleys, colorful carpets and even flamboyantly dressed people and vibrant distinctly oriental music – it’s truly another world. After traversing the road of the kasbahs and its magnificent side-canyons, we head high up the Atlas to Ifrane, where snow may still be melting on the 12,000-ft peaks. Fes, the oldest of the “Royal Cities”, waits below on the plain. This city of a half million inhabitants has a magical atmosphere that Western travelers find fascinating.

Then we’ll meander north toward Blyde River Canyon, which leads to fantastic riding and vistas of Kruger National Park, where we’ll spend a day on a safari looking for big game. The next day, we’ll ride through the heart of Swaziland and on to Shakaland, where King Shaka ruled. Your first glimpse of the Indian Ocean will come along the coastal roads to Durban. This tour offers a variety of riding excursions, including the coastal Garden Route, but will occasionally divert inland to catch some mountain passes and a stop in Oudtshoorn to ride an ostrich at a local ostrich farm. Perhaps your most outstanding memory of this wonderful trip will be the ride along Chapmans Peak, where the road is carved into red rock 300 feet above sea level! This is one of the most spectacular twisty roads on the planet and leads to the Cape of Good Hope, where you’ll watch the gigantic surf of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet and crash against the rocky cliffs!

South Africa’s great mountain roads provide incredible views, its safaris are full of wildlife, its brilliantly colored flora lights up the terrain and its friendly locals add to a trip brimming with memories to be made. Whether you choose to ride on your own or join the tour guide, the daily briefings will give many riding options. After long, adventure-packed days on this 2,500-mile tour, you’ll have many stories to tell each night over an exquisite dinner in an Old World English-style hotel or a modern resort on the beach. Native South African dishes are influenced by Indian cuisine and also reflect the influence of the Dutch people who immigrated here in the 1600s. You’ll find many menu selections loaded with fresh local fruits and vegetables. The world-renowned wines are the perfect complement to any meal. From Johannesburg the riding is easy as we head east toward Waterval Boven on curvy roads.

But we still haven’t seen the top highlight, Mount Kilimanjaro. Majestic is the mountain from up close. On our last days in Africa we‘ll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ngorongoro Crater with the last chance to see the Big Five in action before we park our bikes and depart for home.

Who hasn’t ever dreamed of discovering the mountains, forests, plains and seacoast of Kenya and Tanzania on a motorcycle? Now's the time to do it! Edelweiss is offering the once-in-a-lifetime chance to do a motorcycle safari around Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. From Arusha, Tanzania, we ride north crossing the border to Kenya for our first destination: Amboseli National Park. Here you’ll have the chance to see the famous red elephants set against Mount Kilimanjaro. Don’t forget to take your camera with you. The next days are more about riding: we’ll circle the highest mountain in Kenya, Mount Kenya, before it’s all safari again. Lake Nakuru with its huge flamingo population and the well known Masai Mara National Reserve are waiting. In Masai Mara we park our bikes for a full day and go picture hunting for the Big Five. If you thought this was it, you can be sure there are still innumerable highlights awaiting you. You haven’t seen the Indian Ocean yet? That’s where we go next.

Siberia, what an huge landmass. What an enormous variety of cultures, languages, landscapes and opportunities to experience the extraordinary. For our Adventure Siberia tour we picked the Altai Mountains region that extends into Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan and, of course, Russia. This area is the most attractive for enjoying mountain vistas, cruising along serene mountain lakes, chasing bears, fishing in raging rivers, taking a bath in some of the cleanest waters on our planet and for seeing and feeling how Russians, Kazakhs and the Altay people are so vastly different while living alongside each other. The route on this tour runs on tarmac as well as natural surface roads, steep gravel mountain passes and some river crossings that require a good sense of balance and a steady right hand on the gas. Of all the Edelweiss Adventure tours worldwide, this is the most difficult one for off-road riding! But also the most rewarding for people who like a challenge! The “Golden Mountains” cited by Unesco peak at Mt. Belukha at over 14000 feet. It’s great riding here on hardtop and dirt roads along winding rivers. On the ferry on Lake Teletskoe you’ll feel like you’re in Norway or British Columbia. The real off-road fun starts at the southern tip of the lake. It’s incredible to ride up to the mountain pastures on small roads, single-track paths and through green fields of moss with no one around but a few horses, some sheep and cows. The number of unforgettable moments riding here on enduro bikes is beyond counting. The overnights in resorts, jurtas, Ails, camping and some hotels are memorable. If you’re an off-roader and looking for something extremely different, in an unknown area, with new surprises everyday, this is your tour!

Close your eyes and say the name slowly – and your mind will see pictures of colourful bazaars, men with long beards and artfully embroidered caps sitting on donkey carts and veiled women in long, flowing dresses. Are we still in China? After a rest day in Kashgar we set out to ride one of the most fascinating roads on the planet: the Karakorum Highway. Several 25,000-ft peaks as well as camels and yaks surround us as we climb to Tashkurgan, an ancient trading outpost. At elevations of 12,000 ft and more, the scenery will literally take your breath away! When we return to Kashgar on our last day you will have ALL VE a different view of what we know as the ancient Silk Road. SI

2,000 years ago, China and the Roman Empire were two separate universes, connected only by a mysterious network of caravan routes. The bygone days of this ancient Silk Road will feel alive to you as you stroll the Sunday Market in Kashgar. The tour starts in Urumqi, the bustling capital of Xinjiang, China’s largest province. With its glass and steel skyscrapers and the extensive bazars at street level it is a unique mixture of 21st-century China and medieval Persia. Central Asia has become a true melting pot. Day 2 brings us down to Turpan – a great place to explore China’s secrets. On our way southwest, we follow the impressive snow-capped mountain chain of Tianshan, meaning Heavenly Mountains, with the infamous Taklamakan Desert on the other side, stretching endlessly to the horizon. Then we reach Kashgar.

From the moment you land in Christchurch on the South Island, you know you are in a motorcycling paradise. The smooth roads are shared at times with herds of sheep on the mountain passes. You will be reminded of the Alps when you see Mount Cook. At 12,349 ft (3764 m), it is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Test your courage at bungee jumping, white water rafting or jet boating in Queenstown, the city where many Olympic skiers practice during the southern hemisphere’s winter months. On the west coast of the South Island, you have the chance to ride on your own to Milford Sound through a wide valley rimmed by mountains, where palm trees grow and wildlife teems on land and sea! As you proceed past breathtaking peaks of the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers there’s the opportunity to take a helicopter ride and land on the crest of the glacier. Your bags will be waiting in your room upon arrival at the hand-picked hotels. You’ll be sure to share the day’s riding experience with everyone over a glass of New Zealand’s great wine and a feast of fresh seafood, venison, lamb, fresh fruits and vegetables. The itinerary includes transporting the bikes across Cook Strait to the North Island. This island also offers mountainous roads that provide great views. The tour ends in Auckland, a city offering a beautiful harbor front, great food and shopping! This is a dream tour Down Under! Your favorite memories will be of the vast differences in terrain, the friendliness of the people, and the great motorcycling roads!

Fox Glacier, Wellington, Queenstown, West Coast, Rotorua, Lake Wanaka, Lake Pukaki, Mount Cook and lots of sheep!

SCOUTING TOURS TRAINING RIDE4FUN

Since 1980 we have been touring this globe with customers from all corners of the world, with different skill levels and a huge variety in what they are looking for on their upcoming motorcycle experience. They all are driven by the common idea to experience the region they want to ride in on dream roads. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult for them to appraise whether the tour they are looking for fits their needs, motorcycle experience and offers the motorcycle adventure they are looking for without overstraining themselves. Some of the mountain roads we will ride on our Alpine Tours take many tour participants by surprise. The majority has never seen and certainly never ridden along mountain passes or roads like Passo di Stelvio with 48 narrow switchbacks to reach its top. On the other hand more than 90% of planet Earth’s roads are unpaved but have to be taken to get the unique experience off the beaten path. This leaves many supreme motorcycle regions “out of bounds” for the motorcyclist who is uncomfortable riding on gravel or dirt roads.

During our years of experience taking motorcycle riders from all over the world on trips to nearly every corner of the globe, we have learned that motorcyclists have different ideas about what makes a perfect road. While most motorcyclists’ description of their dream road contains words like “winding, twisty, curvy”, the mountain roads on our Alpine tours take many tour participants by surprise. The majority have never seen (except in photos), and certainly never ridden along mountain passes or roads like the Passo di Stelvio. To take the edge off the sometimes overwhelming challenge and to heighten our riders’ fun and safety from the outset, Edelweiss now offers a training course before the start of some tours. For those riding the Alps for the first time, we strongly recommend booking the Alps Riding Training. It will be held one day before the actual tour and will enhance your safety and riding experience immensely. Alpine and European roads, traffic and driving patterns are very different than most motorcyclists are used to in their home environment. Our riding school can tune your riding skills to our home environment.

INFO

When taking a motorcycle tour away from home, it’s always fun and excitement that we are after. This is the focus of RIDE4FUN: Tours that show you exciting scenery, are fun to ride, and acquaint you with the way people think and live in the places we are touring. Our hotels have local flavour and are not over the top in price or amenities. You ride in a group, with one tour guide on the bike in front. Or you ride in your own little group finding your own secret path; it’s up to you! Breakfast and some dinners are part of the package, but we go to different places for lunch and most dinners. Important to you and to us is your choice of the best bike for the trip. There is a good selection of motorcycles waiting for you. You must feel good on your steed! It’s a younger group of motorcyclists that joins RIDE4FUN tours. There is a lot to see during the riding day, but the evening is there to be enjoyed as well – local flavour in people, food and more. RIDE4FUN groups are international, so you learn more about motorcycling in other parts of the world as you mingle and make new friends overseas! Your one-week supply of shirts, socks and your toothbrush go on your bike; it’s easy with the luggage cases provided. It’s a real motorcycle tour! Your RIDE4FUN tour guides are ready to ride and have fun with you!

There are many perfect motorcycling countries worldwide, but only a few offer as much diversity as Slovenia and Croatia. Starting in Klagenfurt, Austria, right at the border to Slovenia our ride takes us through the Karawanken and Julian Alps, where we get an idea what this tour will be like. Motorcycling at its best combined with spectacular scenery and Mediterranean flair. Opatija, a small and beautiful town on the Adriatic Sea, will be our host for the next two days. This will give us enough time to discover the beautiful Croatian coastline with its crocket roads. From Opatija our route will take us through the northern Balkan Mountains to one of the top highlights of this tour. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Plitvice Lake National Park is next on our list. With its amazing lakes and waterfalls this park is worth a visit by itself and you’ll have plenty of time to discover this wonderland. On the last two riding days we’ll make our way back through the mountains of Croatia and Slovenia with their countless sweepers, beautiful valleys and breathtaking scenery. Enjoy a full week of unforgettable riding.

LEVICO

TRAINING

For many years, 30 to be exact, we have toured the Alps, the most attractive motorcycling region on our planet. All this time, we saw areas, routes, mountain huts where we wanted to go, but did not dare because of the riding and lodging conditions; we thought they were too tough for our Edelweiss motorcyclists from around the world. We know there are riders, who want to experience those bigger challenges. So, we designed a Ride4Fun tour that meets all these longings: Tough riding, long days, challenging roads, riding up to the top and spending the nights in mountain chalets above the tree line, where the view is unobstructed all the way to the glaciers, the pastures and the moon and the stars. As all Ride4Fun tours run without a luggage van, we carry our valued belongings on the bike, the usual way for touring people. We start in Munich, Germany, drive into Austria’s Tyrol, riding further south to South Tyrol in Italy and then back through East Tyrol to Munich. We cross famous Alpine passes like Stelvio and then take hidden, very narrow, very challenging passes like Plätzwiesensattel, which you’ll remember the same way you’ll recall staying at mountain huts close to the glaciers. Here we breathe Alpine air and history like we’ve never done before!

No motorcyclist should miss this tour through the heart of Italy. It is a tour for the senses, euphoria spiked with culture, riding and culinary highlights. Tuscany, Umbria and the Marche are great for motorcycling as well as sightseeing. Florence alone is worth the trip! Your better half will love it! Starting in Florence our route goes south. Small and curvy roads will tak us through the famous Chianti region. Of course, we’ll visit Sienna before we reach our next overnight stop in Perugia, a lively and typical Italian town where we’ll spend two nights. That way, we’ll have enough time to discover all the magic sweepers and sights Umbria has to offer its visitors and get a whiff of Italian nightlife. Our next destination is Urbino in the Marche, birth town of famous Renaissance artist Raphael. Nestled in the middle of the Apennine Mountains, Urbino is located in one of Italy’s best motorcycle regions. Here was the playground of young Valentino Rossi, and not without a reason. Countless twisties, smallest roads and no traffic leave nothing to be missed, while we make our way back to Florence on the last riding day. What an impression! You’ll fall in love with this tour and you can rest assured that your heartstrings will pull you back.

Andalusia is home to all the stereotypes of Spain: bullfights, golden beaches, Flamenco, white villages nestled on the mountainside, cavedwellings, colorful fiestas, religious processions, tapas and sherry bodegas. But the area is also rich in history, art, architecture, nature preserves and a relaxed way of life. This tour of the most Spanish province on the Iberian Peninsula offers a unique blend of riding pleasure, magnificent landscape and cultural highlights seasoned with the charming Spanish way of life. Most tourists are attracted to the big cities and the Costa de Sol, but many jewels wait to be discovered in remote corners of the backcountry. The layouts of the roads offer everything from nice sweepers to really tight switchbacks. There is riding for all skill levels. We start our riding through the Sierra de Ronda, where we’ll spend two days with great riding in bull country. From Grazalema, one of the famous white villages of Spain, our route leads us east on small and curvy roads to visit another „must-see“ in Andalusia. The famous town of Granada with the famed UNESCO World Heritage Site Alhambra awaits us in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, which with their sweepers and scenery are also a highlight for every motorcyclist. You won’t believe how fast this week of excellent motorcycling will be over and your memories will stay with you forever.

TUSCANY 2TU BY SCOOTER

Savour a full week of excitement in one of the top regions of Europe. Discover on your scooter the hidden jewels of Tuscany and enjoy Italian lifestyle and cuisine to the fullest. Florence will be our host on this Tuscany by Scooter tour, and Florence with its sights is worth this trip alone. There will be enough time during this week to discover the amazing town center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Florence we’ll take a scooter tour every day to the most amazing sights nearby. Our first tour will take us to the small walled medieval hill town of San Gimignano. This town, founded by the Etruscans in the 3rd century BC, is famous mainly for its beautiful towers. The historic center is one of the many UNESCO World HIGHLIGHTS Heritage Sites in Italy. The second ride will roll gently through the hills of one of the world’s famous wine regions, Florence, San Chianti, before entering the beautiful town of Siena, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Siena you’ll learn all Gimignano, Siena, about the Palio di Siena with enough time to stroll through the streets and enjoy a cappuccino on the Piazza Arezzo, Fiesole, Pisa, del Campo. Arezzo, our next destination, was one of the most powerful Etruscan towns in the past. Nowadays, Chianti, Mugello the beautiful old city is the center of the Italian jewellery industry and uses up to ten tons of gold every month. The region north of Florence, called Mugello is maybe best known for the annual Moto GP at the Mugello racetrack, but has much more to offer. The hills and roads of this region seem to have been made expressly for our scooters, and this day will be just a lot of fun with scootering, relaxing and enjoying the Italian lifestyle. One big sight is still missing: the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We’ll park our ROUTE scooters right in front of it on Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Wonders). Of course, we’ll climb the Day 1: Arrival in Florence stairs and from above have a fantastic view. You might already have tears in your eyes, Day 2: The towers of San Gimignano because the end of this fantastic tour is nearing and it’s time to say goodbye to Day 3: Piazzas of Siena Tuscany. Day 4: Jewellery makers of Arezzo DATES l JUN 13 – 19, 2010 l OCT 10 – 16, 2010 Day 5: Castles of the Mugello l JUN 12 – 18, 2011 l OCT 09 – 15, 2011 Day 6: The Leaning Tower of Pisa Day 7: Departure from Florence

ASIA

Yes, there are scooters on this planet. We’ve seen them on Edelweiss Tours everywhere in the world. And there are many young and older people, who love to scooter around. With bigger scooters from Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki, former motorcyclists are now touring longer distances during their vacation. We tested the MP-3 from Piaggio and the Fuo1co from Gilera last year on some tours in the Alps and Italy. Motorscooting on three wheels? Some of our Edelweiss Worldtourers just shook their heads. But others tried these unique new vehicles and were quite impressed. We learned, however, that mixing motorcycles and scooters on one tour was not very popular, to say the least. This is why we are now offering our first Scooter Tours! So, who do we expect to see on our scooter tours? People, who would love to ride scooters, or who don’t have a scooter at home and would like to try it. Families, where Mom and Dad are motorcyclists and the kids are interested in scootering around in Italy and France. If you want to be part of a great new experience, let us know right away. We look forward to scootering with you, your family and your friends.

AMERICA

Do you remember the novel “Perfume“ by Patrick Süskind about the fragrances of the world? Grasse is without a doubt the fragrance center of the world and our playground for the next few days. From Grasse with its huge cathedral we start our day trips to the most interesting points of the Cote d’Azur and Provence. Right on the first scootering day you’ll experience the Mediterranean flair of the small sovereign city-state of Monaco. The ride to Monaco is a pleasure in itself. Small, curvy roads curl themselves along the outskirts of the French Alps, while the sun sparkles in the sea below and the luxury yachts lie in the harbours of Monaco and Monte Carlo. The second day is the total opposite from the glamorous coast. Our destination is the Grand Canyon du Verdon; it makes you feel like you’re in Arizona looking at the Grand Canyon. There’s one big advantage to being here. A crooked road leads around the huge gorge, and with a big smile we’ll scooter it. Sun, beach and relaxation will be our next targets. There are many beautiful beaches here, and today we’ll take our scooters to one of the most exciting. On hilly roads we head for the Massif de Maures without forgetting to stop for a café au lait at St. Tropez’s beautiful port. On the following day we’ll learn all about fragrances and enjoy scootering along smaller roads through colourful lavender fields. It’s hard to believe, but this tour is nearly over. And so we mount again our trusty steeds and scooter the hills down to Cannes, the Hollywood of Europe to enjoy a last café au lait and croissant. Goodbye Cote d’Azur, we’ll never forget the fragrances, colours and cuisine of Provence.
