Motorcycle Journeys Through the Alps
Author: John Hermann

Caution: Whitehorse Press takes no responsibility for the actions of motorcyclists stricken with Alpinitis. This incurable disease can be transmitted only by reading Motorcycle Journeys through the Alps & Corsica by Alps guru John Hermann. Alpine riding only results in re-infection. Motorcyclists with no intention of planning a trip to the Alps ... more »have found themselves feverishly buying tickets for themselves and their bikes aboard the next flight to Switzerland even before finishing the book. The cause stems from reading the fascinating, extremely detailed text, gasping at gorgeous Alpine photographs, losing themselves in the countless hairpins on complete but simple trip maps, and enjoying Hermann's knack for storytelling and his eye for out-of-the-way roads. This second edition of Hermann's invaluable guidebook, like all books in the Motorcycle Journeys series, is the perfect size to fit in your tank bag so you can be sure not to miss any of the roads, mountain passes, or valleys this awe-inspiring region has to offer. The book contains detailed route descriptions, updated planning information (such as what to do about a bike, insurance, tolls, passports), and advice that will help you avoid hassles, inconveniences, and traffic so that not a precious moment of your vacation is wasted. All of the Alps' and Corsica's important roads and passes are described and critiqued (two stars indicates a "must-ride" road). This second edition contains 68 individual trips (19 more than the first edition), each lasting about a day. Hermann covers every region of the Alps, so whether you want to focus on Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, or France (or Liechtenstein, for that matter), you'll find trips that appeal to you. From the Grossglockner to the Dolomites to the famous Passo dello Stelvio to the island of Corsica, every important road, pass, and scenic landmark is described with astounding attention to detail. You'll find information on everything from villages to shops and restaurants, to little-known spots where the views are particularly beautiful. Known in many touring circles as "King of the Alps," John Hermann's 23 years of Alpine riding experience has led him to explore every nook and cranny of the Alps as well as every other part of Europe that might possibly have a twisty road. His informed, witty prose is dotted with local customs, history, and amusing travel anecdotes that are sure to enrich your journey. Hermann's journey is a never-ending search for twisty roads and breathtaking views. He is an acknowledged authority on Alps touring, and in this book introduces us to beautiful and exotic Corsica, a Mediterranean wonderland with roads comparable to the Alps and nowhere else. His wisdom and experience make this book an essential resource for anyone planning--or even considering--a European adventure.
