12 DAYS WEST ALPS ON-/OFF-ROAD Tour Book & GPX Data
This West Alps Offroad/Onroad Tour is packed with amazing motorcycle highlights. Even though the tour is focused on the 6 days of off-road riding there are 17 of the top 50 high alpine passes on the way (and back) from the Piedmont Region in Italy where the off-road tours will start.
The off-road rides will start from 2 base camps. That means that any luggage can be kept at the camp to allow lighter motorcycles for the off-road sections.

Mobile Devices and Other Navigation Units
The single GPX file was created in Garmin's Basecamp Software and includes all the POI, hotels, routes and other information. This file may be too large to upload into other navigation units directly (like TomTom etc) and mobile devices (IPhone, Android) with Mobile Apps like Scenic, Calimoto and others.
The folder "GPX Files for every day ..." has every ridding day broken down into single GPX files which may be easier to load on mobile navigation apps on a smartphone. However, this has not been tested for every single mobile devices, so there is no guarrantee this will work every time. If it does not work with a certain app there maybe another app that works better. I have had good experiences with the Scenic App in this case.
