Route Summary
A beautiful round trip from Bulle in the canton of Fribourg across the entire Vaud region to the Jura and back. With stops in Aubonne, Romainmôtier, and Moudon, it also offers a historical tour through medieval scenery.

The route is very winding, offers a huge variety of landscapes and is simply great fun.
Especially because of the variety of landscapes and the beautiful winding roads, I am happy to give this tour 4.5 stars.

The route is largely easy to manage, but you just have to be careful in some of the narrower sections.

RouteXpert Review
From the beautiful town of Bulle, which is also well worth a visit, we follow side roads along the foothills of the Alps toward Lake Geneva. From Blonay, the route descends steeply into the Lavaux region, one of the most beautiful and extensive wine-growing areas in Switzerland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We cross the vineyards until we reach Lutry, enjoying stunning views of the vineyards, Lake Geneva, and across to the impressive Mont Blanc. Of course, we'll make at least one photo stop here to capture this scenery.
We drive through Lausanne along the main road by the lake, staying close to the water until Morges. Then we climb gently, through curves and fields, to the medieval town of Aubonne. There we treat ourselves to a fortifying coffee and take a short stroll through this idyllic little village.

We cross the broad plain of the Rhône region and climb near Saint-Georges to the Col du Marchairuz, thus entering the Jura Mountains. Following the Lac du Joux, we turn east again after just a few kilometers and cross the Jura heights via the Col de Pétra Félix. On the way down, we stop to enjoy the view and take photographs. Then we curve down to the plains and stop for lunch in Romainmôtier. The restaurant Le Pectinarium is very family-friendly, produces sustainable, and serves very simple but delicious food. It is highly recommended. Of course, we also visit the monastery courtyard and the monastery church; the attic is especially worth seeing. The acoustics are magnificent.

After lunch, we climb a little higher again before crossing fields, meadows, forests, and several typical Vaud villages with their typical farmhouses to Moudon. The houses in the village center, like those in Aubonne and Romainmôtier, date mostly from the Middle Ages, allowing us to once again immerse ourselves in times long past. After a walk through the upper and/or lower villages, both of which are impressive, we fortify ourselves for the final stretch with a fine coffee.

And again the route takes us along side roads and quiet paths, through countless bends and forests back to Bulle, our starting point.

From the Eifel via the Alps to the Dordogne in 5 great days
Literally from the start of the Eifel you go to Camping Moto van Hans in 5 crazy rides. You cross 3 countries (Germany, France and Switzerland) several times and the number of motorcycle areas is phenomenal. Eifel, Moselle, Hunsrück, Pfälzerwald, Vosges, Jura, Alps and then along France's most beautiful rivers, the Drome, Tarn, Lot and Dordogne. The number of bends is indescribable. Make sure your phone / camera has enough space, because you will rarely experience so much beauty in such a short time. Note: Driving in mountainous areas requires some experience, the journey as a whole is "spicy"

Day 1 starts in the Eifel and ends in the middle of the Vosges. With MRA it is possible to find the smallest and best roads, which are ideal for this type of route. In the evening of course eating Flammkuchen! However, this route and that of day 2 have to be careful when working on the road in France. Gravel is sprinkled on the road here and that is not always convenient for motorcyclists.

Day 2 goes partly through the Vosges, then the Jura and then you drive a long way through Switzerland. Watch out for your speed here, otherwise it could be very expensive. You don't drive through the highest part of Switzerland, but there is plenty to steer and plenty to see. Your hotel is in Martigny. You can eat in the center, which you reach after 5 minutes.

Day 3 just starts in Switzerland and soon you are on the Route des Grandes Alpes. You tackle a number of very high passes here, such as the Iseran and the Galibier. The height differences are enormous here, you drive here deep valleys and high peaks. Spending the night in Serre Chevalier (where you could theoretically have skied a few months earlier) is a very special experience.

Day 4 still has some big passes in store, after that the route runs via the Drome and the Tarn. The rivers have cut very deep gorges in the relatively soft chalk, resulting in steep mountain formations. A lust for the eye! The old monastery where the hotel is located is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a rich culinary experience.

Day 5 is the last day and takes you through the Cévennes National Park. Simply put, a very large forest, but there is more. The highest peak is 1,900 meters and the roads in the Cévennes are generally very narrow. This has the advantage that they are not used much. Ergo low-traffic and excellent quality. However, on these very narrow roads you have to watch out for the local population and "waste" from the trees. The first don't take it so well with the course of the road and you regularly see it right in front of you on your side of the road, the second occasionally causes broken branches on the road. There is a good chance that at the end you will find Hans with a big grin and a welcome beer waiting for you.

All in all a very impressive ride. All 1,824.75 kilometers (according to MRA) are delightful. The roads are good, the hotels were all excellent, there were certainly culinary delights and the undersigned was very lucky that there were hardly any clouds during all 5 days (August 2023). For the less experienced rider it is advisable to gain some knowledge in advance about riding in mountains and/or to take a rest day after the "queen stage" (day 3).

For those who are going to make the journey: lots of safe kilometers and lots of fun.

Grand Tour of Switzerland
'The Grand Tour of Switzerland' leads past the most beautiful sights in the country.
Switzerland is a wonderful country to cross by motorcycle. Not only because of the beautiful roads, but also because of the cultural and other sights - and of course the beautiful mountains! The country has enormous diversity. Mountains and water in particular determine the landscape. Lake Constance in the north is one of the most popular holiday regions in Central Europe. With Lake Geneva in the far southwest, the Swiss (along with the French) also have one of the largest lakes on the continent. Don't forget Lake Maggiore in the south, although the red flag with the white cross only flies over a small part of it. There the influence of Italy becomes clear again. It is mainly based on language. This also applies to Lake Lugano, in the far south. This panoramic road, called the Grand Tour of Switzerland, is more than 1600 km long. Fans of mountain passes will be happy in many places. The route takes you to the Schwägalp, the San Bernardino and the Gotthard Pass. Divided into eight rides, it is a unique road trip.
