An Autumn Motorbike Alpine Expedition (2023)
An Autumn Motorbike Alpine Expedition
I’ve had my motorcycle license for a few years now. Immediately after receiving my driving license, I found the Triumph Tiger for myself. But it took several years of training before I felt experienced enough to travel with the Tiger. The year 2023 should be the beginning: a tent, camera and underpants. I don’t need much more. In the spring I set off for Burgundy and western Switzerland. This time I want to go to the south and east.
Now I live in the Black Forest in an area that is not only a place of longing for motorcyclists, but also offers other incredible destinations within reach in the heart of Europe on the border with France and the Alpine region.
It’s time to take advantage of this opportunity. The Tiger and me. Just the two of us. It will be an unforgettable journey through the heart of Switzerland, Lucerne and Ticino, Alpine Italy, the Engadine, Graubünden, Liechtenstein and the Austrian Vorarlberg. Four countries.
Let’s go!
