Western Alps Adventure

Passing Lake Como, we'll cross into Switzerland, conquering the famous Novena, Furka and Susten passes. We will spend the night under the stars, right on the top of the Grimsel Pass.

We will continue into the Swiss rolling hills. Sweeping and curvy roads will carry you over Jaunpass and past Gruyères for a quick cheese tasting and a castle photo. We'll spend the night at Évian-les-Bains, French seaside resort on Lake Geneva.

We will ride through and over the Bauges and Chartreuse mountain ranges, following endless sweepers and diving in and out of the forests. You'll end the day in a small village, high up in the heart of the Vercors Masiff.

Descending into the valley, we get to spend the night at the edge of the biggest artificial lake in Europe, Serre-Ponçon.

You will have the choice of doing a nice ride around the lake of Serre-Poncon or exploring passes like Col de la Bonnette and Col de Vars. Should you prefer to spend your day off the bike, you will have plenty of options for leisure time in the environs of a magical castle.

From here, you'll experience rollercoaster riding in and out of Italy and France, alongside crystalline lakes and scenic views. Not to mention the highlight of the day - climbing the highest paved pass of the Alps—Col de L'Iseran—before settling for the night in Chamonix.

We will ride over the Great St. Bernard Pass on our way back to Italy. Expect a very scenic ride, with the mighty Alps staring down at you from every corner, while slowly descending to the valley and back to our starting point in Milan.

Depending on the time of your flight back home, you may have time to stroll downtown Milan and walk on the roof of the famous Milan cathedral, which took nearly six centuries to complete, and is the largest in the Italian state territory.
