Welche Alpenpässe lohnen sich eigentlich? | Motorradtrip durch die Westalpen

Good day! Are you eager to accelerate, but like me you don't live near the Alps, but want to eat a few more corners this season? No panic! Here you can discover how you can conquer 20 passes in the Swiss, French and Italian Alps in just 7 days. Which ones are worth it and which ones you can safely ignore. Come on! First of all, towards the train. Yes, this tour starts by car train from Hamburg to Lörrach. Some say blasphemy, I say it saves me 1000 kilometers and 3 days of traveling on a rural road. After a restless night in the sleeping car and a modest breakfast, we arrived early in the morning in Lörrach.

Undo the buckles and head to the Swiss border. Today's destination: Lake Geneva. After passing through Basel, I choose the windier side routes to the southwest. Above Neunburg I enjoy the view of the lake of the same name. But the mild 29 degrees force me to continue my trip soon. In Lac de Joux, it is slowly becoming touristy and I also have the feeling of being on vacation: it's time to take a typical tourist photo. Above Lake Geneva I encounter my first small stretch of switchbacks, not far from Mont Tendre. My instinct to eat curves has been awakened!

Like a junkie going through withdrawal, I take the first few turns. With each successive one I become more and more one with my machine. I already feel like Rossi, recording a new best time on the asphalt... until an impatient Swiss destroys my repressed ego. My pathetic attempt to hold on to it is finally followed by Lake Geneva on the horizon. and another three quarters of an hour later we arrived at Geneva to spend the night. There is a hostel with a shared room, the only thing you can afford here, but in return in the front row with abundant Swiss food, culinary and affordable, day 1 is over. today There is no alpine pass in your profile, but I promise it will start tomorrow So friends, let's do it, anyone who has ever been to a hostel or a campsite knows that they like to push these two layers of sandpaper. damn the guys here have it figured out three soft coats after we sorted it out and had a mediocre breakfast, day 2 started again with the best weather, maneuvered around the city and my husband guessed it, you're already in France .

I drive through the interior of the East Utavor region, the first real peaks finally appear on the horizon. The Colde Korbier is number one on my list with a height of 1230 m. It's not really a mountain pass worth mentioning, but rather a transit route around the small one. The French side of Lake Geneva to the east, so crossing it is two lanes, but not good on my part in terms of driving, one of the five explained to me, so again just before the Swiss border on a picturesque ferry we continue south to the great San Bernardo.

After taking federal highway 21 in Martini, turn right towards the mountains. Turn towards the small but pretty Kolde Shampex, which is not yet a real mountain pass, but the steep northern flank with its 22 pointed cores is a good warm-up. On two out of every five hairpin bends, the reward will be an idyllic postcard and a refreshing swim in the small lake. Naked foam pelex like this, like this. We've already lost almost eight degrees on the way here. I have no idea how high up we are, but I'm guessing it'll be a little colder up there, so I'll dress a little warmer and we'll go to the foot of the northern flank of the Great St.

Bernard Pass, I guess. of course, the through road instead of the tunnel, this one is completely two lane and the beautiful curves offer a relaxed, almost decelerated climb, and the partially cracked asphalt does not take away from the fun of driving despite the perhaps misleading name, the El pass has a very compact landscape, yes okay, 18 degrees, but from the view I would have frozen on the south side, the road leads in a clean curved line towards the Aosta Valley from me, 5 and 5 chilblains and 227 others kilometers ahead, welcome to Italy. Nice little room in a nice little hotel with a nice little balcony in a nice little valley.

As far as I'm concerned, things can stay the same tomorrow. I'm excited. Good morning, 9:30 a.m. the sun shines. We're there now Basically, a little bit across France to Golde Isa isane down here. I booked, it's not far, 220 km. Let's go instead just take the SS26 towards little ST Bernard. Turn left onto Morschecks onto Call ST. Carolo, a nice little side route Through dense forests with occasional views of the surrounding peaks, another good, relaxed warm-up route at almost 2000 meters altitude 3 of 5 spruces. Shortly after I find myself in the small port of San Berna. The north side has a relaxed and mainly long climb.

Clear views of bare slopes and steep peaks; The highlight is the view of Lake Vernee at 288 meters above sea level. As soon as you arrive in France, you go straight to the Tour de fonds. Towards the valley, but the cracked asphalt and asphalt snakes make driving less pleasant. Three out of five doping injections. Now turn sharply left onto the D902 passing the small dam. to the kolde Lisa Rang this pass is almost 2,800 meters high, the highest passable mountain pass in the Alps The absence of any type of road safety inspires respect, whoever takes off here no longer needs to be a member of the ADAC, it is good that the bad roads.

Don't invite you to run anyway. Instead, it's worth sailing here to enjoy the great rustic scenery and not let the faster ones rush you to the top. It turns out that Keule Lison is one of the busiest passes on my route: it is 15 kilometers to Besson. With countless 3,000 m peaks, the view of the Album at 3,637 meters and its glaciers is the most spectacular. Despite the bad roads, I give it four out of five boulders. In the rain and storms, I wander along the D1006 heading west, so things there are really pretty. I've already used rain hoods and tank gloves if you want to know what tank gloves are all about.

Take a look at my video, little new tricks that should not be missing on any motorcycle tour, but I'm getting off topic and I think I still have 40 km to go to the hotel in Valui 245 km and three wet asses later Finally we arrive at the Quiet winter sports resort of Vala, because it is not yet season and you think about sleep. In one of the two open restaurants there was not only good food but also special food. Society Here I met Josie and Christine, who met at the Swiss edition of Bauer sucht. Mrs. Josi found Christine and she would like to have her with him forever.

Thank you both for a great and entertaining evening. The best, then let's wake up the winter sports nest as discreetly as possible from the small village just behind the town sign towards the D902 in the direction of Kolde Galibil, although or precisely because it is a smaller step. The highlight of my tour is that the morning sun envelops the pass in a warm and calm atmosphere; it is worth getting up earlier; The compact path on the north side winds comfortably and calmly upwards and always invites you to stop, marvel and take beautiful photographs. And the roads aren't bad either.

The view of the sunrises from Lamesch 55 at 3983 meters above sea level is also pleasant. Reaching the d191, I reach the southernmost point of my route and turn north again at roschatterie on the way to the Koll de la cronde fair and Dück London is the true highlight of this region, the Lack house of grow, which today presented me with an almost mirror smooth water surface, take your time and enjoy the view, but I am so surprised that I refer to the exit towards Colt London. Instead, I head towards London and am quickly rewarded with a great view of the colorful valley and a paraglider in the sky. and while I'm here I treat myself to a few more kilometers and the climb again isn't technically a highlight, but I'm glad I got here with three out of five paragliders, which, by the way, is the advantage if not No You always navigate with your cell phone but, as I prefer, using a map, then you can also see things well in a positive sense and if you dance the tango with navigation and timing skills, there is one waiting at the end.

A flock of sheep welcomes you to the so-called London, except for the three and four hairpin bends at the top of the pass, the descent to Schorn Bree is quite boring, as probably not everyone will be so lucky with the hairpin bends. He would only have two out of five sheep. A little safety tip aside: be careful of this type of bituminous snake in summer temperatures or humidity slithers like a pig in La Chambre I continue straight to the south side, it is characterized by a huge winter sports station . that is, during the summer sleep, the pass leads through it to a large alpine pasture which through a mountain range and at 2000 meters is not particularly high, the northern half leads along very narrow paths, densely overgrown and also in poor condition, so I don't think I filmed it at all.

I do not recommend it and that is why one in five cows cries like this 8 hours and 215 km later. Alba wants to be more precise in konfloor. An image of a beautiful medieval village with an old castle and a great view of Alber. She wants an absolute tip. I stay. In the same Hotel La Citadelle, this former monastery has been tastefully renovated and is affordably priced, isn't it sweet? That's all and nothing less than the climactic conclusion of this great day, let's see what tomorrow has in store for us. Good morning, because I could have that. yesterday or other beers with my new French friends, we are going to have breakfast shortly before 9, ten coffees and 5 eggs later, and finally we start again first stop Gourmet la rosa, just one day ago Dead France was playing Here, at through the Lack reservoir, the roselles and the picturesque Rocher rock massif once again offer magnificent photographic opportunities that I missed so much in terms of driving technology, but the eye still has a lot to discover. three out of five bicycle helmets in sers the circle closes again here.

I turn through the small port of Sandberna and then drive directly to the Montblanc tunnel. The approach from the south side is absolutely stunning, majestic and surreal at the same time, the imposing mountain wall appearing in my field of vision with each additional kilometer. Petrus means well to me so I do this. I was able to enjoy the view in all its glory when I reached the tunnel, I just leave the 30 euros for the bike and I am ready to go. I can see the sound of my duck in the tunnels. Honey, the 11.6 kilometers drawn with a ruler were a little boring.

As soon as we arrived in France, we returned directly to Switzerland through the Call della vor, of course, it is more of a mountain that must be overcome. In one of the five panoramic photos I had a completely different highlight during my overnight stay: Maurice, a kind of church in the city. I thought they wouldn't let me register without a baptismal certificate because here the authorities want a character with a penitentiary asset, but apparently I cleaned it with bleach at least Outlook, but it has to be enough for one night. Good morning, yes, the day will probably start with a little rain, so either rain gear or I'll wait until 10:30.

Watch and drive after this blue rain nonsense, yes. the barrier is now gone but of course it's still a bit wet, so as a prophylactic measure, the waterproof hoods that should finally be worn today is a transit day heading east towards Interlaken or Lake Brienz. Yes, that also belongs to an ancient door, us first. passing through the vineyards on the hill above the Call de Lacroix, that's another moment here for me, except for the occasional herd of cows and the view of the 2789 meters high. You won't miss much here either, like when you cross the goldeno, it's not spectacular. that I didn't even turn on the camera for both passes there is one in five ku-bells yes, it's not going to be less so I still need the pants like a sexy silk stocking.

The rest of the journey along Federal Highway 11 towards Lake Thun was characterized by torrential rain and heavy traffic, which is truly impressive. When the weather is nice in Brienzwiler, I wander a few kilometers to the Hasliberg ski area to my hotel gletscherblick. In fact, the drive to this hotel was the highlight of the day and now I know why this hotel is called gletscherblick. Don't promise too much. small and modest but somehow also has shame, not as cheap as this hotel JVA is like a weekend with grandparents, shame, then just a beer and flowers, fries and burgers with a clear view of the rosenblaui glacier with a beautiful view.

I just enjoyed the best. Breakfast so far is a bit manageable now I have to backtrack a bit first. Well, then I make a stop at the Aare Gorge, then I drive back over the Susten Pass via the Fuchka Pass, take a small detour to the Grimmel Pass, but only a little and then go down again and drive to here. I think I've already booked a room here somewhere, it seems like I have a lot to do today, soSo before reviewing the four famous ancient passes, I will start the day with a small cultural event in the Aare Gorge.

I would like to know some information about it. The gorge was developed for tourism 130 years ago and is named after the river of the same name. You can enter from the west and from the east entrance. It is 1,400 meters long and only one meter wide at its narrowest point. I prefer to return before taking the train, the route, so enough culture, we continued around 10 o'clock between more than an hour round trip, probably not a new record, but it was worth it, it was worth it and when I see that the trip now being one of the first in the gorge at 9:39 is a very good idea.

Today is not only Sunday but also a holiday. You can immediately tell by the increase in traffic towards the Susten Pass that it was the busiest route of the entire route, but that does not detract from the great view, the entire entrance road from the west has a fantastic view of the 3,500 Sustenhorn meters high just Before the top of the pass, stop briefly at Steinsee and get a magnificent souvenir photo with a total length of 45 km and a height of 2200 meters.The Susten Pass is not light, the asphalt is excellent and all the directions are fully developed.

The descent down the east side is no less spectacular, although technically not as demanding, safe in the knowledge that there are surely other notable peaks around me. I romantically drive to Wasser, so the Susten is so beautiful, yes, also warm, a great street. , two lanes very well developed and fully functional, but it's a highway, so it's relaxed, but it's different, even though it's beautiful with the lake up there. Great view of the glacier. 4 out of 5 peaks, a deduction due to the stressful traffic on the Devil's Bridge. You should probably make a quick stop. I just saw this.

I later realized that I passed it unseen and got banned twice, but then I also had more time to pee. The next would be the Furka pass at 2,400 meters. The access road from the east runs along moderate slopes and passes through huge pastures just behind. At the top of the pass you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Rhône Valley and the Grimsel Pass, although at first glance it looks very touristy. On the western flank you should definitely look for the glacier, take your time, it's really worth it because who knows how long it's been there.

More than 100 years ago, it reached the valley and the glacier has continued since then. decay from decade to decade the grotto itself a rogue whoever hears the word grotto and If you can think of something suggestive in this entry, it is not particularly big, but as I said, you have to see something like that with your own eyes The Furka Pass gets a overall rating of 4 out of 515 from me, so enough about the glacier money, let's move on to the Grimselpass, at the top of the pass a fantastic lake landscape awaits you made up of three lakes, two of which are reservoirs whose walls you can also drive At the top of the pass, topographically it is located in a kind of basin surrounded by bright green rock walls, a great play of colors.

In terms of atmosphere, the Grimsel can easily compete with the Scottish Highlands. Here you never get tired of doing it and, by the way, the asphalt is fantastic and the layout of the road is a dream. I could go up and down here all day, but I only allow myself to go up and down once before heading back down the south ramp. 5 and 5 googly eyes, so the grinselpass is the highlight. Last stop today. Nufenenpass, the road to the The current pass is already a lot of fun with its fast, clean curves followed by classic hairpin turns and above all good asphalt.

When you get to the top you can expect a lunar landscape at its most surreal Carl Ulrich and here you can also see what makes the rocks glow so greenish, it's crazy here all the rocks have neon green moss. I can't blame anyone for not walking. enough on this trip, although today I have as a reward a great view of the Griessee and the huge Griess glacier, so let's see if there is still a motorbike there, words and then there is also the summit here in front, thanks to all the thieves who had mercy, They went down the east ramp to bed and were completely surprised by the change in weather, something that is not so impossible in the mountains.

Although initially the visibility was bad, shortly after the finish line a good rain still falls in this microclimate, probably not unusual in this part, as I was told later, now I don't know, two minutes before arriving at the hotel it really starts It's pouring rain here. for rain gear but it's no longer worth it despite the weather 4 out of 5 months of rockets still Gander, what do you say about that? The chef admitted that he drove here on the Ducati and he himself has a Panigale v4s in front of the door as a greeting, this restaurant with a guest room is the perfect end to this glorious day, don't miss it.

Let yourself be fooled by the exclusive atmosphere, here there is regional and exclusive cuisine served by warm people. You know the country and the people through cooking, so don't skimp and treat yourself to something. Good morning, day 8 It is raining at night but it promises ice. Today is the last day in the mountains before returning home. Overnight the clouds seem to have cleared, so I'm in for another sunny day. We are there, we drive here and directly leave the Gotthard Pass, then we go up again to Waffen, then we go up here to Altdorf and then we take the Klausen Pass here.

I think it was until after nothing, so here a little on the other side of Überlachei Kaiserstuhl and I already booked a room 10 degrees, let's go. With the Gotthard Pass or the passes you are spoiled for choice: you take the lovely old cobblestone pass, also called Tremola or the new and well-developed A2. As connoisseurs, we of course chose the Tremola. Even if the cobblestones are demanding on the chassis, it is certainly a beautiful route. When you reach the top, a rustic but beautiful landscape awaits you, which is once again simply stunning these days after the Waffen.

Through Altdorf turn right onto main road 17 or onto Klausenpass, which at almost 2,000 meters is not the highest pass, but at 50 km it is one of the longest passes. I continue my way on the west side, narrow and eternally long, on mostly good asphalt, but the penalty is very undulating at times and be careful, sometimes it becomes very narrow when the road changes abruptly from two lanes to 1 .5 lanes, so be careful. For oncoming traffic, just drive a little slower, relax and enjoy the view because there is a lot to see here. The highlight at the end on the east side has an incredible view of the steep face in front of the summit of Clariden to four of Five tears to say goodbye The strong winds to the left and right on Hauptstrasse 17 seem to be on farewell guard with the passing by Klausen breathing down my neck I leave the high mountains and head northwest to the German border, despite generously bypassing metropolitan areas I also have to fight rush hour near Zurich.

In Bad Zurzach I cross the Rhine and with it the German border for almost eight and a half hours and 300 km later you already know the ritual: a couple of shoots of grape juice, a salad with tofu, a round of yoga and going to bed early almost 1,900 kilometers back to German soil. Now we cross the Black Forest towards Nuremberg. In the next three days I will be driving on country roads through the Black Forest, Odenwald, Spessart, the Rhön, passing Kassel and a stone, so children, if you see things on the road again, stop and pull the side even if you don't They have passed it. the next one could go over it, which was fun.

From the pond, the next motorcyclist and also the car driver will thank you. Rühler Switzerland through Weserbergland and back to Hamburg. My trip ends after a total of 11 days and 3200 km. There were 20 old passes in 07 days, not all outstanding but still better than the highway. The seven that I remember most and that in my opinion should not be missed are the great white ST Berner, which was the first complete pass. in my nature and the basin on the south side creates a large 360 ​​degree panorama due to its large size Keule Galibia is impressed because it shows that even small steps have their own magic, a step that, despite the large volume of traffic, offers one postcard panorama after another of the Rhône glacier and the view towards the Grimselpass, the Grindelpass for the perfect roads and the impressive lake landscape and last but not least, the Gotthard Pass for its rustic and almost royal rocky landscape, the list Of course, it can be continued infinitely, but that's another story in that sense, thanks for watching and maybe until next time.
