Pinnacle Passes 2025

Book your flights to arrive into Milan or perhaps take the option of joining us for the MotoGP round at Mugello the weekend prior?

We will do a meet and greet at our hotel near Monza where you will meet the crew and we will run through the program for our tour. Later, we will enjoy a traditional Italian welcome dinner that evening before a good night’s rest.

Breakfast at the hotel before we head to the rental depot to collect our motorcycles for the tour.  A quick commute through the streets of Milan before we clear the city and hit the open roads. We can leave our big gear bags or cases in Milan until we return.

We will depart Milan before midday and take the roads north towards the famous Lake Garda.  The Tyrol region of Italian lakes hold a special tranquil charm that is irresistible. Our overnight stop for the next two nights is in the town of Riva del Garda, nestled right in the Italian Alps surrounded by striking peaks. 

Stay and enjoy the many activities around the hotel or ride an amazing loop along the lake and into the soaring mountains that surround the lake? Maybe we can manage both?

With a two night stay at Riva del Garda it gives us an opportunity to do some exploring around this most engaging lake. The area is alive with action sports but also has its fair share of history evident in the town centre of Riva del Garda. If you ask Nick or Trudi they will promptly tell you Riva del Garda is there favourite place to spend time when in Italy. We hope you will agree!

We will quickly feel the pull of the mountains this morning long before we get on our bikes. What lays ahead is some of the most incredible alpine passes. Not the least of which is Passo dello Stelvio.

Dropping over into Austria via Timmelsjoch we will be surrounded by gorgeous alpine mountain scapes that will fight for your attention. 

If the weather gods don’t act in our favour the previous day, we do have a second chance of tackling Stelvio on our way north to Germany. Hell we may just do it a second time regardless!

An Autobahn run into Munich will have you buzzing!

Munich is a charming city. Surprisingly beautiful and you will be amazed at the scale of the English gardens that sprawl through the centre of the city.  We will make it a complete rest day off the bikes today but will still please the rev heads amongst our (that’s all of us right?) by visiting an incredible automotive museum. Topped by a beer hall for dinner. Can life get any better?

If you think we’ve ridden some amazing mountains then today is sure to have you rethinking. Grossglockner is considered the mother of all alpine roads and it is pretty hard to argue. Great road surface and a mix of sweeping open views and tight hairpins switchbacks.

Today we make our way to some of the most mesmerising landscapes in all of Italy. The Dolomites. The mountains look like they were created by some divine being that had a great sense of proportions and beauty. They are truly magical to behold.

We truly can point our motorcycles in any direction today and we will be spoiled with incredible mountain passes to ride. The views will steal your concentration from the road ahead, roads that demand attention with all their twists and turns. 

If you ask Nick & Trudi they will both swear they were born in this part of the Sud Tirol region of the Italian Alps. Sadly their passports tell a different story!  The Dolomites holds such incredible beauty with their awe inspiring granite peaks stretching for the sky. Four nights in the Dolomites to take in at least a small part of the grandeur.

Do we take the short way through the Dolomites to get to our accommodation early or do we take the long way?  You guide us and we will guide you!

Again we have so many more awesome passes lined up to ride.  The only limit is your energy levels.

Our hotel is the epitome of luxury mountain lifestyle.  Surrounding our hotel are some spectacular passes including Passo Rolle, Passo Pordoi & Passo Sella. In fact our hotel is pretty much nestled in between these passes so you will feel spoiled.

In 2024 we went paragliding amongst the awe inspiring peaks for an unforgettable experience.  If heights aren’t your thing you have plenty of walking options either in amongst the shops in the villages or amongst the clouds in Seiser Alm (Alpe di Siusi) and Seceda.

Choices today. So many of them! 

If you decided to stay put at our hotel and soak up the luxury, well that wouldn’t be a crime either!

Really, do we have to leave the Dolomites so soon?  Well, we will see more of the awesome mountains today as we ride south west out of the Dolomites and towards the Italian Lakes District.

We guarantee you won’t be disappointed when you top that mountain atop Varenna and see glorious Lake Como laid out before you.  It truly is a sight to behold.

Maybe we should add on another night?  It seems like it’s over too soon. 

We will stretch out our time amongst the twisities and alongside the lakes for as long as we can before rejoining the autostrada to get back into Milan.

We return our rental bikes in Milan and then taxi back to our hotel to freshen up before a final dinner together in Monza.  It is a grand old hotel filled charm that will feel like a second home when we return.

After breakfast at our hotel we will make our way home or onwards with your trip wherever that may take you.  Perhaps extend your stay another few days and process the memories.  

If you must head home you will be guaranteed a lifetime of memories and experiences will follow you that will make you feel you have enjoyed something truly special.
