Greetings from everyone at Beach's Motorcycle Adventures. This is the first
issue of a quarterly newsletter with information on 'what's new' with rides,
adventures and tours hither and yon.
If you fancy stunning mountain scenery, or twisty roads to delight the rider inside, there is no better rider's playground than the European Alps. And it keeps getting better and better. Beach's Motorcycle Adventures tour prices are now based on exchange rates between the Euro and the dollar. As the dollar increases in value, tour prices go down! Airfares, likewise, are more attractive than they have been in some time. The Alpine roads are calling louder than ever!
In 2009 the Alpine Adventure West is one of two point-to-point tours offered by the Beachs. Beginning in Zurich, Switzerland, the West itinerary romps through Germany's Black Forest and the Vogesen and Alsace areas of France before climbing the highest Alpine passes along Italy's Western border. Double overnights in Lac Annecy, France and on the magnificent Lago Maggiore, Italy are serene reprieves from the passes. This is an adventure with altitude!
Our second point-to-point ride is the new Corsican Caper, offering an indulgent look at the Alps. Beginning in Munich, the Caper follows the arc of the Alps to Nice. From there, a ferry transports the tour to the delightful Mediterranean Island of Corsica, where 4 days of riding and relaxing await. Grand scenery and great roads continue after departing the island, as the ferry docks in Livorno, Italy and the hills and villages of Tuscany offer their charms.
The Classic Alpine Adventure is exactly that - an adventure along a classic itinerary, conquering both well known, and obscure, passes throughout the central Alps. The in-depth view of the central Alps on the Classic Adventure reveal the pastoral life that is the essence of the Alps. The early July tour offers an additional incentive - 2 extra days of motorcycle use and a day tour to Garmish to attend BMW Motorrad Days. Accommodation on the two extra nights is not included in the tour price, but the motorcycle and day ride is!
Wrapping up the European touring season is the sensational Italian Idyll. Like all Beach tours, this two week jaunt in Tuscany and Umbria offers excellent accommodation and food, and plenty of time to explore the tiny villages and towns in route. But the Idyll ups the ante in a uniquely Italian way. The food is just a bit better, the hotels a bit more .
To help imagine your adventure, all tour routes are detailed in a map which may be found here.
Join the Beachs for the adventure of a lifetime - a motorcycle ride in the European Alps!
