Chamonix alternative for my Alps Tour

click here to enlarge

THIS IS NOT AN EXACT REPEAT OF MY MAIN TRIP IN JUNE.


It's a touch shorter, uses a 3 star hotel with swiming pool, and it's half board with fine French cuisine. 

On balance, I prefer my base in Bourg St Maurice (more riding possiblities), but if you want to pay me lots more money, and have a more luxurious hotel, we can always repeat this Chamonix based tour again.

It was orginally run in June 2005 in conjunction with White Rose Tours. Link may be dead now, see this http://www.motorcycletours.co.uk/page8.html

This tour sold out (bar 2 places) even before I've had time to advertise it.  I told Dave we sold it far too cheap!  Left on here so you can read th etext and view the photos.

If you have a private group of say 6-8 riders I can run this tour for you.  Otherwise, I'd prefer to run my camping / chalet / modest hotel alternative in Bourg St Maurice.

This trip contains much the same elements as the now legendry Bourg St Maurice tour, but more emphasis has gone on a comfortable hotel in Chamonix, rather than the slightly better placement in terms of riding, that we get in Bourg St Maurice.

We cannot easily reach the highest road pass in the Alps from Chamonix, but we can still do my spectacuar "Circuit de Mont Blanc" covering 3 countries and 9 demanding mountain passes all in one day.  Both these pictures were taken on the circuit last year, both on the Grand St Bernard actually, on the Swiss / Italian border.

Make sure you click on all the sub-categories to the left, and the extra articles on the right.  If you want to do some private research on the roads we will be riding, check out the section on Savoie on this excellent website www.alpineroads.com  You can also link through to purchase little movie clips of various mountain passes.
