You’ll have a two-night stay in the famous, up-market ski resort of Kitzbuhel where you’ll have the chance to visit the local Harley Rally…”Kitz on Wheels”!
We ran this tour last year and was so impressed we decided to go back again this year but with some hotel and route changes to make it even better! The tour is run at a leisurely pace starting at 9.30am each morning, stops for lunch and coffee along the way before arriving at each night’s hotel in time to relax before dinner. A support vehicle carries your luggage daily.
