Route Summary The start of this route is at the loading dock of the OEBB, the Östereiche Bahn. From this point you drive directly into the paradise for the motorcyclist: The Alps.
This route includes the Gavia and Stelvio Pass, two wonderful passes in the Alps. The end point is on top of the latter, at Hotel Genziana.
The route is for the more advanced motorcyclist. Certainly the Stelvio pass and the Gavia require good engine management given the many (tight!) Hairpin bends.

RouteXpert Review The route starts in Innsbrück at the loading dock of the OEBB. Daily car trains leave from Düsseldorf and have this place in the south of Austria as their terminus. You can also reserve a place for the motorcycle on this night train. Leave in the evening and arrive the next morning rested. For more information about this see the link below.
In Innsbruck the route almost immediately passes a petrol station. Gasoline prices in Austria are considerably lower than in the Netherlands, so it is wise to refuel here.
Despite the fact that Innsbruck is a fairly large city with 130,000 inhabitants, you are already out of the built-up area after 3 kilometers. To the left and right you can already see the hilltops looming, that is still very promising! And indeed, after 4 kilometers the first hairpin bend in front of the wheels, great! The first 40 kilometers you wind parallel to the A13, also known as the Brenner Autobahn, towards the border crossing Austria - Italy. Perhaps nice to stop at the border crossing, there is quite something to see, such as an Outlet Center.
After leaving the Brenner, you drive at Sterzing - Vipiteno onto the SS44, which runs towards the Passo Giovo / Jaufenpass. On top of this 2094m high pass it is time for today's first coffee stop. While you enjoy your coffee you have a fantastic view of the beautiful surroundings.
In the descent of the Jaufenpass you come almost at the bottom past a viewpoint which gives you a beautiful view over St. Leonhard in Passeier. This town is centrally located between the Jaufenpass, the Timmelsjoch and, on the southern side, the route towards the Gavia and Stelvio. All known passes that attract a lot of tourists.
The Passeier Museum is located just south of St. Leonhard in Passeier. This museum gives you a picture of how people used to live in this valley through an outdoor exhibition. The open-air exhibition is an ideal place to spend some time. Here you will find a farm that is typical of the old Passeier valley. In addition to the farm and barn, there are numerous other structures: a mill, blacksmith shop, baking oven, grain store, a lead production place and a beehive. They were all threatened with demolition and have now been faithfully recreated on the open-air site. See link below for more information.
Continue along the SS44, through the Passeier valley, you arrive at Merano. From this place you have the option to follow the SS38 towards the Stelvio, you then follow the climb that starts at Prato. However, this route follows the SS238 towards Lana. From here you follow the SP9 towards Sankt Pankraz. Just outside Lana you will pass a viewpoint Greiter Ried which offers you a nice view over Lana. Definitely worth a break for a nice photo.
After more than 10 kilometers you turn left onto the SP88 towards the Hofmahdjoch - Passo Castrin with an altitude of 1781m. A few kilometers after this pass you come to Lago di Santa Giustina. The lake is located in the center of Val di Non, near Cles. The lake was originally artificial and was formed thanks to the creation of the imposing dyke built between 1943 and 1951. This artificial lake is very impressive and fits perfectly into the landscape of the valley. It is the largest in the province and aims to collect water from the rain basin of the Noce stream to generate electricity. The lake has a total volume of 182 million cubic meters of water and extends for a length of 8 kilometers with a maximum width of one kilometer.
Just before the bridge over this lake is a small parking lot where the motorbike can be parked. On foot up the bridge for a great view over this lake, which of course must be taken a picture.
The route continues on the SS42 which will take you via the Passo Tonale (1842m) towards the ascent of the penultimate pass of this route, the Gaviapass with an altitude of 2621 meters. After the Passo Tonale, this climb starts at Ponte di Legno. The Gavia is a beautiful pass, but if you have a fear of heights it can get exciting in some parts. Sometimes very narrow and if a guardrail is missing it is best to squeeze your buttocks. But the views you get are phenomenal. Take the time to experience this pass, behind every turn a new spectacular view awaits. Lots of photo opportunities!
After the Gavia you arrive in Bormio. The connoisseur knows that the southern side of the Stelvio starts / ends in Bormio. The Stelvio is, as the name of the route says, the end point of this route. The last gas station of this route is located in Bormio. It may be wise to fill up here when the stock of petrol is no longer too large. The next gas station is at least 40 kilometers away.
The climb of the Stelvio is one to remember. From the first meter it is straightforward to climb. After more than 25 hairpin bends and great views you are finally at the top. The same applies here: take your time and enjoy every meter!
At the top, at least when the weather is good, it is very busy. Restaurants, souvenir shops, terraces, the famous sellers of sausage sandwiches with Sauerkraut, great, what a party.
The hotel where the route ends is located in the middle of this party, hotel Genziana. To be honest, it is not the cheapest hotel to stay in, but an experience not to be missed. In the evening the ascent to the viewpoint 'Dreisprachenspitze' at almost 2850 meters, the beautiful sunrise the next morning, moments that really make it worthwhile to experience this once.
Have fun driving this route!

Route Collections in this region The 24 Most Beautiful Alpine Routes
The Alps, The Alps are a mountain range in Europe, stretching from the French Mediterranean coast in the southwest to the Pannonian Plain in the east. The area of the mountain range is more than 200,000 km².
In other words Passes and Mountain Roads!
Driving through the mountains is great! Especially over the mountain passes with hairpin bends and narrow winding roads. Every bend a different view where you can enjoy. There are many beautiful mountain passes in the Alps.
A selection that has also been incorporated into these routes:
The Stlevio Pass:
The Stelvio Pass, also known as Passo dello Stelvio, is mainly known for the stage in the Giro d'Italia. Due to the length and the difference in height, this pass is seen as one of the toughest tests in cycling. The Stelvio Pass reaches a maximum height of 2758 meters and is therefore one of the highest in the Alps. The pass connects the towns of Bormio and Prato Allo Stelvio. In winter the pass is closed due to heavy snowfall.
The Reschenpass:
The Reschenpass, also known as Passo di Resia, connects the Austrian state of Tyrol with the Italian province of South Tyrol. The pass reaches a maximum height of 1,504 meters and has been one of the most important north-south connections in the Alps in recent centuries. The pass was used long before Roman times. Along the way you will pass several highlights and historical relics. One of the highlights is the Reschensee. This lake was created after the construction of the dam and has completely submerged the village of Graun. The only thing that reminds of that is the clock tower in the middle of the lake.
Col du Galibier:
The French mountain pass Col du Galibier connects the towns of Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne and Briançon via the Col du Lautaret in the south and the Col du Télégraphe in the north. The mountain pass is part of the Tour de France and very much feared, due to the fact that it can only be reached via the other two mountain passes. The pass reaches a maximum height of 2646 meters. From there you can take a walk to the viewpoint at 2704 meters. You can admire the peaks of the Grand Galibier, Mont Blanc and La Meije here.
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road:
With a height of 3798 meters the Grossglockner is the highest mountain in Austria. To fully enjoy this impressive mountain, you can drive over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and the accompanying pass. The route starts from Bruck am Grossglockner and ends in Heiligenblut. Of course you can drive in two directions. The pass reaches a maximum height of 2504 meters and is closed in winter due to heavy snowfall. Along the way you pass several stops with fun activities, information points, mountain huts and viewpoints. A visit to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe and Pasterzen Glacier is highly recommended.
The Col d'Izoard:
Just like the Col du Galibier, the Col d'Izoard is also part of a stage of the Tour de France. The mountain pass connects Briançon with the valley of the river Guil. The pass is partly located in the Regional Natural Park du Queyras and reaches a maximum height of 2360 meters. What is special about the Col d'Izoard is the barren and rocky landscape. Sometimes it feels like driving a car over the moon! Along the way you can stop at several points to enjoy the beautiful view.
The Bernina Pass:
The Bernina Express is one of the most famous rail trains in Switzerland and the Alps. The route is beautiful and partly included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Dodensee (Totensee) is also located here. This lake owes its name to the many soldiers who died in the time of Napoleon.
The Gotthard Pass:
The Gotthard Pass, also known as Passo del San Gottardo and Saint Gotthard, connects the Swiss towns of Airolo and Andermatt. The mountain pass and associated tunnel are especially known among holidaymakers driving from Switzerland to Italy.

The 8 most beautiful routes of the Dolomites
The Dolomites are a mountain range in Italy that is part of the Southern Limestone Alps. Typical for the Dolomites are the steep rock walls and peaks, which were created by erosion and weathering. The mountain range is split into two parts: the eastern and the western. The highest peak of the Dolomites, the Marmolada, is 3343 meters high.
Enjoy the beautiful routes in the vicinity of the Marmolada. Whichever way you drive in the Dolomites, it is always fantastically beautiful. You get one (toll-free) pass after the other for your wheels and it is pure enjoyment every time. A wonderful playground that changes depending on the hour, depending on the direction, depending on the weather and which completely enchants you!
