The Alpine Passes Poster: Basic knowledge for your home - informative, decorative and analogue
For our tour “7 days | 6 countries | 50 passes” we need a clear planning basis. But that doesn’t exist.
So we build ourselves an Alpine passes map.
It’s amazing how many Alpine passes we discover that we don’t even know and yet are in the immediate vicinity of the known routes. The result is our Alpine passes poster - the idea: maybe someone else besides us would like this decorative planning overview.
We are now in the 5th edition, with different designs.
The challenge for the Alpen-Marathon “7 days | 6 countries | 50 passes” is also available in book form - with the exclusive “Best Buddy” for every Alpine tourer
With the book - in a handy format (Din A5) - you won’t be spoilt for choice of individual tour days. The entire tour is described on 168 pages and illustrated with around 250 photos. There are also tour maps and GPS data available for download via QR code.
And it gets even better: depending on time, desire and mood, the tour starts in Carinthia and ends either in Monte Carlo or leads back to Germany, to the highest German Alpine pass.
There is also an exclusive Best Buddy, a key ring that every Alpine tourer needs.
The book comes in attractive packaging, making it the perfect gift. Of course, the book also comes with stickers, a certificate and, if desired, an entry in the "Hall of Fame".
Accept the Alpen-Marathon “7 days | 6 countries | 50 passes” as a challenge - tour documents (PDF) stickers, certificate and entry in the Hall of Fame are waiting for you
For each tour day of the Alpen-Marathon “7 days | 6 countries | 50 passes” there is a description with information about the Alpine passes, the Alpine pass sequence, tour maps and GPS data to download. So you can decide for yourself how you want to tackle the tour. Just one day at a time, or an extract, or the whole tour. At the pace you choose.
And this is how it works's: Select the tour documents you want, request them and, when you’re on the road, document every Alpine pass with a photo.
Very important: The tour days are not identical - because they are often requested - with the tour offered by Harry’s Bike Tours.
Alpine passes, Alpine routes, Alpine gravel roads: facts, info and videos from “A-Z”
We have now listed 450 Alpine passes, cul-de-sacs and gravel tracks, and the number is growing regularly. Because of course there are always new and unknown things to discover.
This information is either integrated into the interactive Alpine Passes Atlas for planning purposes, or can be called up as an overview from "A-z". The most important facts, descriptions and in many cases videos are available for all Alpine passes - and there are more and more of them. We’ve already filmed a lot, but haven’t had enough time to process the material into short clips.
Places of interest (POls) in the Alps - in the interactive Alpine passes atlas or collected from “A-Z”
We want more than just motorcycling.
Inspired by the tips from the "local guides" for the TV reports, we collect further information on sights and tips.
Just stop, take a break, get to know a region better and take in the versatility of the Alps.
The POls are constantly being expanded - integrated for planning in the interactive Alpine passes atlas or as an overview from "A-Z".
Good moto-hotels that can be perfectly integrated into any tour
Due to our activities in the Alps, we have already seen several hotels and others have been recommended to us. We have also included these and integrated them into our digital Alpine passes atlas. In addition, there is an overview of the hotels by region, which are also displayed according to the Alpine passes visited. All hotels have a link to the hotel’s own websites and booking platforms.
The first digital, interactive Alpine pass atlas for creating Alpine tours
As a consequence of our work for the Alpine passes posters, and by popular demand, we have programmed this Alpine passes atlas.
Almost all of the known Alpine passes and shortcuts are integrated here. This allows you to put together a tour from Alpine pass to Alpine pass - you may discover new Alpine passes that you have not yet travelled and that have never been included in a tour before. We have also included all the start and end points of Alpine passes. To make an Alpine tour even more interesting, we have also added many sights - and of course selected hotels.
Put together your Alpine passes tour, add sights and hotels, send the tour to friends via a link and then download the GPS data ...
By the way: There are plenty of pictures, videos, facts and information about the Alpine passes and sights
Accept the challenge and enter the “Hall of Fame”
When the challenge has been ridden - whether one tour day or all - and we have received the matching pictures, there will be an entry in the “Hall of Fame”. On express request, of course. The tour stickers and the certificate are of course always available after the challenge has been completed
