PYRENEESE & FRANCE GRAND TOUR

Discover the Wild Beauty of the Pyrenees & France – Grand Tour Adventure

Get ready for this year’s Grand Tour—a two-week ride into the untamed heart of the Pyrenees, where every day brings a new mix of legendary passes, hidden valleys, and vibrant culture. This tour takes you from the rolling hills of the Allgäu in Bavaria to the rugged peaks of Switzerland, France, Spain, and Andorra—linking together some of the most thrilling roads and dramatic landscapes in Europe.

We’ll carve our way over iconic passes like Port d’Envalira, Col de Puymorens, and the mighty N260, while also exploring lesser-known gems—balcony roads, deep gorges, and medieval villages that feel lost in time. These are roads that most European riders never get to see. Additional highlights include the Vercors region, Ardèche canyon, Col du Galibier, the highest pass in the Alps—Col de l’Iseran—and the spectacular Combe Laval balcony road. Expect a perfect blend of high-mountain adventure, sweeping curves, and authentic local experiences, from the UNESCO fortress of Carcassonne to the wild beauty of the Cevennes and the legendary Viaduc de Millau.

Whether you’re bringing your own motorcycle or choosing a premium adventure rental from BMW, you’ll enjoy expertly planned routes, handpicked accommodations, and full support every step of the way. This tour is designed for riders who want more than just great roads—it’s for those who crave the spirit of discovery, the camaraderie of the group, and the freedom of the open road.

Join us for the ultimate Pyrenees motorcycle adventure—where every day is a new highlight, and every turn brings a fresh dose of adrenaline and awe.

“Booked a guided tour over the French Alps with Oliver. What a great experience, Oliver was a great guide and had really did his homework in front of the trip. It was highlights after highlights. Oliver took really care of everyone on the tour, made sure everyone had a good time! I could write a full essay about this trip, that’s how much I loved this tour! I can highly recommend others to book a tour with Motovibes!”

“I loved the enthusiasm and passion Oliver shows in the routes and places he chose to take us. He found and included treasure after treasure of twisty roads that tested my skills and made me a better rider. The rest of the guys in my group were fantastic and helpful. Great job, Oliver! I had a fantastic time. I’d do it all over again.”
