Discover the Best of Italy Off the Beaten Path!
Gear up for the ultimate on-road and off-road motorcycle adventure, designed exclusively for large adventure motorcycles! Starting in Munich, we’ll warm up with scenic roads before diving into a short section gravel section of the Trans Euro Trail (TET) Italy.
The Adventure Country Track (ACT) begins in the enchanting woods of Romagna, winds through the lush valleys of Umbria and Marche, traverses the breathtaking Val d’Orcia, and concludes on the wild, untouched coasts of Abruzzo—one of Italy’s most pristine and rugged regions.
The ACT Italy demands proficient off-road riding skills that go beyond basic gravel road experience. If you’re new to off-road riding, you’ll need to have completed at least two full-day professional off-road training courses—one of them at an advanced level—to tackle the challenges ahead.
With participation limited to just 8 riders, this exclusive tour offers a thrilling blend of technical off-road sections and breathtaking on-road passes. From carving through legendary Alpine routes like the Jaufenpass to navigating rugged trails in the Apennines and Gran Sasso National Park, every day delivers heart-pounding excitement and awe-inspiring scenery. Be prepared for varying track difficulty, as weather conditions can significantly impact the terrain.
This tour requires an off-road capable motorcycle with at least 50/50 tires. For those coming from further away there is a small contingency of rental motorcycle options from my rental partner.
In this small group of like-minded adventurers, you’ll push your limits, work as a team in difficult sections, master demanding terrain, and create unforgettable memories on this truly one-of-a-kind ride.
