From the Sellaronda to the lakes of Trentino and Friuli

The motorbike tours in Italy take you through South Tyrol, the Dolomites, Trentino and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. In the Dolomites, the Sellaronda links the Grödner Joch, Campolongo, Pordoi and Sella passes. In the west, the Vinschgau Valley, Lake Reschen and the Stelvio Pass define the character of the tours, whilst the Karer Pass, Passo Rolle, Manghen Pass and Würzjoch offer further winding alternatives.

Further south , the Brenta Dolomites, Val di Sole, Valsugana and lake routes towards Lake Garda, Lake Idro and Lake Levico alternate. Friuli-Venezia Giulia rounds off the range with the Carnic and Julian Alps, the Plöcken Pass, Sella Nevea and quiet roads through unspoilt valleys. This means you can choose between Alpine circuits with plenty of mountain passes, leisurely lake tours and less-travelled border regions.

Tour information that goes beyond the digital route

A motorbike tour in northern Italy should be planned taking into account altitude, the season and traffic volumes. Mountain passes may be closed due to weather conditions; during events such as car-free cycling days, several Dolomite passes may also be temporarily closed to motorised traffic. You should therefore check road conditions, the weather and any toll sections shortly before setting off.

MoHo hosts complement the range of tours with local expertise, route tips and GPS data. Depending on the hotel, facilities may include a motorbike garage or covered parking space, a washing area, drying facilities and tools. The specific services are listed in the hotel profile. After your ride, there’s time to enjoy South Tyrolean cuisine, Trentino specialities, a spa treatment or a quiet evening by the lake.

FAQ on motorbike tours in Italy

Which motorbike route is best for my first trip through the Dolomites?

For your first tour of the Dolomites, a manageable combination of mountain passes with several options for taking shortcuts is ideal. The Sellaronda links the Grödner Joch, Campolongo, Pordoi and Sella passes. Set off as early as possible and check the weather, traffic conditions and any temporary road closures in advance.

Which region in Italy is best suited to my motorbike holiday?

South Tyrol is renowned for its famous Dolomite passes and cycling routes through the Vinschgau and Eisack valleys. Trentino combines mountain roads with Lake Garda, Lake Idro and Lake Levico. Friuli-Venezia Giulia is particularly well suited to more leisurely rides through the Carnic and Julian Alps, for example via the Plöcken Pass or Sella Nevea.

Where in Italy can I find quiet motorbike routes away from the well-known mountain passes?

You’ll find quieter routes particularly in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, as well as in the lesser-known valleys of Trentino and South Tyrol. There are varied mountain and side roads winding around Sella Nevea, the Carnic Alps and the Canal Valley. Here, too, you should check the latest weather conditions, road conditions and any border regulations.

When is the best time of year for motorbike tours in northern Italy?

For high-altitude mountain passes in the Dolomites, Trentino and Friuli, the summer months are generally the most reliable. Lower-lying areas around Lake Garda, in the Adige Valley or in southern Friuli can often be driven through in spring and autumn as well. The key factors are altitude, weather and current road conditions.

How do I find the right motorbike hotel for my tours in Italy?

A suitable MoHo – Motorcycle Hotel – is conveniently located for your chosen routes and clearly details the motorcycle services it offers. MoHo hosts provide support with regional route advice and GPS tours for South Tyrol, Trentino or Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Facilities such as garages, washing areas, tools and drying rooms vary from hotel to hotel.
