All roads lead to Rome? Perhaps. But we set off from the "Eternal City" to visit the world's largest BMW motorcycle meeting after an unforgettable motorcycle adventure, which is once again taking place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the middle of the Alps in the "Year of the GS".
We meet in the "Eternal City" of Rome and switch into vacation mode, which is very easy in the heart of Italy. Enjoy a relaxing evening in a breathtaking city. Our first stage takes us to Florence, one of the most important cities of the Middle Ages. We have a rest day in Florence for those who are fascinated by the history of the Medici and want to travel back in time, or simply enjoy the Italian lifestyle and fashion while shopping. The Apennine Mountains, which stretch across the whole of Italy, are always good for a surprise and offer winding roads with gentle curves in a perfect climate for motorcyclists. Nothing stands in the way of a varied ride on a rest day followed by a visit to the old town of Florence. We continue our journey in the footsteps of the most important medieval families and reach the "City of Water", the "Queen of the Adriatic", the "City of Masks", the "City of Bridges", the "Floating City", the "City of Canals" or simply called Venice. We will stay a little outside Venice, as we cannot enter the "City of Water" on our motorcycles. On the second rest day, we will have the opportunity to visit the canal city on foot or by boat. From Venice we head north into the famous Dolomites, one pass after another takes us to the Seiser Alm, Europe's largest high alpine pasture. After two rest days in fascinating towns, we now have a rest day in the middle of the world-famous Dolomites, El Dorado for motorcyclists, cyclists, hikers and climbers. Whether relaxing in the wellness area of the hotel, on foot or on the motorcycle, this rest day has something for everyone. From the Seiser Alm, we ride all day along Alpine roads to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the host town of the BMW Motorrad Days. The tour offers a wide range of cultural highlights, alpine mountain roads, the beautiful landscape around the rolling hills of Tuscany and the Italian, Austrian and German Alps.

A relaxed bus ride over the Ponte della Liberta into the floating city. On foot or by cab boat, on one of the numerous canals, we go on a discovery tour. Venice is a city like no other, rich in history, culture and breathtaking architecture. A visit leaves unforgettable impressions and offers insights into a fascinating past.
The journey continues north. A real highlight of this tour awaits you. On mountain roads that will make every biker's heart beat faster, today's stage takes us through the middle of the Dolomites to the Seiser Alm, Europe's highest alpine pasture. We end this extraordinary day with a spectacular view of the Schlern (2,563 m).
The Alpe di Siusi is known for its impressive panoramas, the Dolomites in the background and its extensive alpine meadows. Perfect for spending a relaxing rest day, enjoying the benefits of the hotel and the spectacular views on a hike. However, if you also want to spend the rest day on your motorcycle, get on your bike and spend an unforgettable day in the breathtaking landscape of the Dolomites. These majestic mountains, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provide the perfect backdrop for a motorcycle tour you will never forget.
We leave the Dolomites and Italy, cross the main Alpine ridge and pass through Austria at its narrowest point, the state of Tyrol. Our destination today is Garmisch-Partenkirchen. But before this adventure comes to an end, we review the impressions of the last few days and look forward to spending a day at the *BMW Motorrad Days*.
We spend the last day and evening of our tour on the grounds of the *BMW Motorrad Days* in Garmisch.
Today your tour ends after breakfast and we wish you a safe journey home and hope to see you again soon on one of our tours.
