- COTE D'AZUR BY SCOOTER
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. - TUSCANY 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 Heritage Sites in Italy. The second ride will roll gently through the hills of one of the world’s famous wine regions, Chianti, before entering the beautiful town of Siena, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Siena you’ll learn all about the Palio di Siena with enough time to stroll through the streets and enjoy a cappuccino on the Piazza del Campo. Arezzo, our next destination, was one of the most powerful Etruscan towns in the past. Nowadays, 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 scooters right in front of it on Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Wonders). Of course, we’ll climb the stairs and from above have a fantastic view. You might already have tears in your eyes, because the end of this fantastic tour is nearing and it’s time to say goodbye to Tuscany. - CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS TOUR
Experience the motorcycle tour of a lifetime with fantastic roads, great sights and breathtaking scenery. - SOUTHERN SPAIN
IT'S NEW, IT'S HOT - IT MAY BE FOR YOU! 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. - ADRIATIC ROLLER COASTER
IT'S NEW, IT'S HOT - IT MAY BE FOR 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. - TOUR OF THE PYRENEES

IT'S NEW, IT'S HOT - IT MAY BE FOR YOU! 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! - SARDINIA OFF-ROAD TRAINING AND TOUR
This unique island provides the perfect scenery for perhaps the most exciting enduro tour of all. Bends, passes and desert beaches – Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea is perfectly suitable for novices and ambitious bikers alike, and promises greatly varied enduro tours. Your trip will take you first to the scenic coast road, past lovely small sandy beaches, following breathtaking rock formations along challenging pass roads, curve after curve. Next you’ll leave the hard tracks and explore the dramatic landscape of the island on gravel tracks and paths, before you reach the mountain zone with its river courses, meadows and massive rocky summits. And there’s one more thing waiting for you off the route: the pleasures of Sardinian cuisine are to be discovered in the typical restaurants of the island. This tour is also an excellent option for a group of friends or couples with different riding skills. - KINGS AND CASTLES TOUR

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. - GRAND ALPS TOUR
