Climbs, bends, scenery

From Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, this 700 km route crosses the French Alps via 17 legendary mountain passes including the Galibier, the Izoard, and the Iseran. A succession of hairpin bends, summits, and breathtaking views.
It's the ideal route for enthusiasts who love chaining together bends and pushing their engine to its limits. At every stage, a new challenge awaits, and the landscapes offer just as many reasons to stop.
So pack plenty of layers, a camera… And time, because the stops will be many.
Tight bends, tunnels, and solitude

It's less well known, but it's one of the most impressive roads in Europe. 90 km through the Carpathians, between dark tunnels, mountain lakes, and tight bends on cliff edges.
Popularized by Top Gear, which called it the "most beautiful road in the world", it offers a true sense of adventure, far from overcrowded routes.
Here, no line of motorhomes or tourist stops: just the road, the mountains, and you. A raw experience, ideal for riders in search of thrills and solitude.
