Mountain experience is essential Climate: In the high mountains it is sometimes sensitively cool even in summer, in the Maritime Alps and Provence the climate is Mediterranean Special features: The coarse French asphalt gives the tyre a lot of wear. Therefore ensure sufficient tread depth Daily routine: Normally a day of travel begins at about 8.00 a.m. with breakfast. At about 9.00 o'clock, after the briefing from the tour guide, the next stage of the journey begins. Lunch and coffee breaks will of course not be missing. Until 18.00 o'clock we usually reach our hotel at the latest. If, exceptionally, it should be later than that, there is surely a good reason for it. In any case, we will always try to give you at least one hour from your arrival until dinner. The shelters: Usually they are 3-star hotels, but sometimes there can be 4 of them. But for this purpose, a small family hotel with a little less comfort is also sufficient for us. However, each accommodation is characterized either by its unmistakable location, history, cuisine or atmosphere. Of course all rooms are always equipped with a bathroom. Rations: Breakfast and dinner in the hotels are included in the price. Drinks, lunch and break snacks must be paid for by the participants themselves. Generally typical cuisine of the Alpine region. Additional costs: The beer can be partly relatively expensive in the French hotels. Otherwise the prices are similar to those in Germany. Insurance: Please carry your green insurance card with you on your journey. We especially recommend the travel cancellation insurance as well as a travel interruption insurance. 28.09.2021 Western Alps - MOTOURISMO -- 4.
