Without any big and long explanations, just ride! Weather is unpredictable and you’ll may have to change your route a bit in case of bad weather; but same can happen anytime in the Alps. Middle June is generally not too early. Don’t down. Have a plan B route if weather changes to bad; but hope for the best. Enjoy your trip and ride safe! Darko

Reassurance needed please :)

I have planned to take my BMW R1200RS (alone) from the UK to Grimaud in the French Riviera, taking in a part of the Western Alps along the way.

From my first overnight stop in Dijon (15 June), I have planned the following routes and stop-overs:

16 June
Dijon A31>A6>A432>A43 to Chambery then
Chambery A43>D1006>N543>S224 Briancon
{2nd overnight stop}

17 June
Briancon N94 to Moustiers-Saint-Marie (where I plan to tour the Verdon Gorge) then D54>D25 to Grimaud

Whilst excited about the adventure ahead, I’ve become concerned (rather late in the planning process, I admit!) that the Alps portion of this journey may be hazardous to road ice (and snow?) at that time of year (mid June).

Also slightly worried about possible delays crossing to and from Italy at N543 and S224.

Any guidance and tips you could give would be most welcome.

many thanks for your comment. There are many interesting places around; with one of our favourites being the Balkans (Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro). Depending on your intended duration, you could do a trip similar to our ‘No Borders’ tour
Alternatively, in late September, you can also think about ‘Tuscany, Sardinia and Corsica’

Feel free to contact us at info@mototrip-tours.com, send us some of you preferences (number of days for the ride, preferred riding style, riding experience etc.) and we’ll send you our suggestions. Regards!
