2025 takes us to Andorra! Who doesn’t love 💕 Andorra!! And we can’t wait to ride the highest paved pass in the Pyrenees - Port d’Envalira (2408 m.) The pass connects El Pas de la Casa with the rest of the country and has featured several times at @letourdefrance and @lavuelta .

2025 takes us to Switzerland 🇨🇭which we skipped in 2024 but glad to be back. Of course we will ride the iconic Furka Pass - quite a breathtaking alpine route steeped in history, it boasts a legacy dating back to the 14th century. It captured the global spotlight in 1964, thanks to Sean Connery’s thrilling portrayal of James Bond in Goldfinger, where the Aston Martin DB5 roared across its hairpin curves. Sitting at an elevation of 2,431 meters, this iconic pass ranks among the highest and most scenic in the Swiss Alps. The Furka Pass lies on the Furka Strasse, a 70-kilometer road winding between Brig and Andermatt. Its most dramatic stretch connects Gletsch to Andermatt, weaving through the stunning alpine region of Obergoms.

2025 will take us to the French Alps and who can skip a ride up Col du Galibier? Nobody! From the north, starting at Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne (including the Col du Télégraphe), the climb is 34.8 kilometres long, gaining 2,120 metres in height (an average gradient of 6.1%). The actual climb to the summit starts at Valloire and is 18.1 kilometres long at an average of 6.9% (height gain: 1,245 metres). The maximum gradient is 10.1% at the summit. From the south, the climb starts from the Col du Lautaret (el. 2,058 metres)and is 8.5 kilometres long at an average gradient of 6.9% (height gain: 585 metres) with a maximum of 12.1% at the summit.

2025 let’s us spend plenty of time in our backyard - the Dolomites! And of course, without effort we will share our beloved Sellaronda with guests. These four minds blowing passes will change you! Get familiar with Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi, Passo Gardena and Passo Campolongo… This is perfection ❤️

2025 takes us to Provence and how magic to be riding around the Verdon Gorge again. One never tires of this site! The Verdon Gorge (French: Gorges du Verdon) is a river canyon located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of Southeastern France. It is about 25 km long and up to 700 metres deep. It was formed by the Verdon River, which is named for its turquoise-green colour, one of the location’s distinguishing characteristics. Located between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, the river has cut a ravine to a depth of 700 meters through the limestone mass. At the end of the canyon, the Verdon flows into the artificial Lake of Sainte-Croix.
