In July 2006 with my old E85, I did the Route des Grandes Alpes (High alpine route) from Lake Geneva to Menton on the french Mediterranean coast. It's the most fantastic route - well signposted with brown tourist signs, taking in the most spectacular of the French Alpine passes - a truly wonderful experience, taking several days.

I am taking delivery of my E89 on 23/12/13 and I plan to do this route again in July 2014. It was so much fun that I can't wait to do it all over again. If anyone wants to do it, please don't hesitate to get in touch and I'll give you some tips!

forgot to mention:

great photos. We are hoping to do an Alpine holiday next year in the Alpina & this looks just the biz. We're looking to go end of July/August as we are tied to school hols. I'll contact you nearer the time for info & advice If that's OK.

Great pics.
One piece of advice try to Avoid August the French migrate in thier thousands and clog a lot of the roads up, especially Saturdays.

Great pics been all over Europe on my Harley its about time i did it in the Z

I can't recommend this route enough! The website also gives suggestions of hotels at various budgets along the way - we stayed in 3 different lovely alpine hotels. Very happy to give any more advice as necessary.

Looks a hoot!

Great pics!-how did the zed behave?

I did 3 ski seasons in Les Gets and Morzine and know the roads down to Thonon are epic!

I bet it was an amazing trip! Would be great to go all the way down to Nice on it!

Fantastic, can you tell me how long the trip took? I am interested as me and the Mrs are considering a trip to Italy and this may be a nice way of getting there (But I may duck off before Menton to cross over to Italy)
