Our start hotel

Day 1 - Arrival in St. Paul de Vence

Our group from US and Brazil arrived in time for the welcome briefing in our beautiful start hotel Les Messugues. After a great dinner we are ready to start tomorrow. 

Bikes are ready for take off.
Wonderful dinner at the hotel

Day 2 - Vence - Valberg 270 km

First riding day in motorcycle paradise. In perfect weather conditions we went through several canyons with the Canyon du Verdon as the highlight. The roads were really twisty and the scenery breathtaking. A good start of the tour.

Day 3 - Valberg - Roquebilliere 230 km

Our second riding day offered great riding on some challenging mountain roads and outstanding views. A very nice day ended with bootbeer at the pool and a great dinner. 

Day 4 - Roquebilliere - Vicoforte 290 km

Today was the day of the passes.  Col de Turini well known from the rally Monte Carlo and the breathtaking Col de Lombarde were the highlights. Countless corners and beautiful scenery. What a day!

Day 5 - Vicoforte - Rapallo 250km

Today were heading to the coast, but not the direct way. Some challenging mountain roads were waiting for us. But we all made it safe to the hotel at the beach.

 

Day 6 - Restday Rapallo 200 km

Not everybody in the group wanted to rest today. Some went for a exciting tour to Cinque Terre. Stunning scenery and great roads.

The SS1 was for sure the riding highlight of the day, countless curves perfect road conditions like a race track.

Day 7 - Rapallo - Finale 250 km

A long and challenging ride today. Some goat trails along the way with fantastic lookout. Passo Fajale was the best with a great lunch at the top.

Day 8 - Finale - Vence 300 km

Unfortunately our last riding day, but one of the best! Coffee in the medieval village of Zucarello, several passes and a stop overlooking Monaco. 

A great tour comes to an end. Thanks to the group. See you next time!
