From time to time one of the German magazines publishes a hotel sponsored guide to Austrian and Italian alpine / Dolomite tours. As is common with these things, the websites eventually vanish and the information is lost. I took an opportunity to save this year’s edition, converting it into a pdf and saving it to Dropbox, using nothing more than an app on my iPad.
The guide covers a big area (which should cater for the urgent appeal merchants, who say “Me and my six mates are off to the alps, we need.....” ) with suggested routes provided by each of the hotel owners. Are they all great hotels? Who knows and there are lots of others to chose from. Are they all great routes? Well, they are certainly not bad.
You can also download the routes by putting the tour codes into the Kurviger app or website.
There you go, instant holidays and those all important biker friendly hotels, that everyone wants.

Now start to think outside the box. These routes cater for Austria and Italy, so bolt them onto Switzerland, too.

Want to go closer to Salzburg and the ‘must do’ Eagles Nest? OK, go hunting for routes yourself. They are out there and on these pages, too. Here’s a sample, scroll down and you get to Salzburg:

Yes, you’ll have to do a little bit of work and maybe buy a map but that is partly why you bought an Adventure motorcycle isn’t it? It wasn’t just for the presence, feeling planted, the big metal boxes and the chance to bolt really bright lights on, just to sit in Tesco’s car park listening to blokes talking about tyres? Surely not? Enjoy yourself, whatever it is you decide to do.
