FRENCH ALPS: Epic ride to COL D'IZOARD & COL AGNEL

[@silicon6086]

Not just I liked this video, but also my love for earth increased manifolds.. She is so so so beautiful and gorgeous. 👌👍.. and thanks so much for showing it to us . 🙏

[@billmoeller8897]

Rode the Col D'Izoard several years ago, beautiful pass. Got to the bottom at Briancon & the rain started. Had a hotel booked in Annecy so kept going. Worst rain I have ever ridden in. Made to Annecy, soaked, boots full of water. Everything dried by morning with the help of several hair dryers, beautiful day to hit a few more passes. Such is riding in The Alps.

[@nasirbasra]

Highly.. Recommended - Lia' (favorite word)..... And me really respect for her 🙏

[@jensdji4875]

[@artsilaakso7773]

[@motoretro1972]

Ich freue mich schon wie ein Schnitzel auf die kommende Saison. Kein Wunder bei den Aufnahmen.

[@mohammedkharbouche7268]

Good job Lea 👍

[@ewendavidson8787]

Another amazing video, more stunning scenery. Very professional with your camera. Have added this to my must do list. I’m going to look up the restaurant you had lunch at. 👌👌👏👏

[@SuperSuperaero]

Thank you Lea, I travelled from England to Bologna .Imola and Pesaro in 2017 via Montgenevre . We returned via Mont Blanc tunnel.

[@FisherBiker155]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻 col Agnel my favorite alpine pass at only 1 hour from my home. The Village Pontechianale hosts the highest winter gathering in Europe! The Agnellotreffen!

[@brucegerken1063]

Thank you great video as always

[@johnnymcandrew]

I just did the same route......... on a mountain bike!

[@tabuleirocmd]

Thanks beautifull footage! BFs apparently also did border crossings because 60 km from Pierre Grosse where you had lunch, back in 1987 two girls witnessed one, and even ran down the stairs to meet him! (here´s the online translation from the french original: 'It was in the Alps, in Saint-Jean-de-Belleville (Savoie) , in July. I was 10 years old at the time and I remember it like it was yesterday. I was with another kid a little older than me, on the balcony of the rented house. And suddenly, both of us, we saw a creature next to the wood pile at the edge of the forest (a small road separated the rental house from the forest).We were on the second floor, we went down at full speed, and there we found ourselves in front of a species of nosy giant (1,90m approx.), with the backside of a chimpanzee. We were hardly to three meters from him! What upset me was his look, which seemed to say: "That It's amazing, isn't it? He left and disappeared into the forest. Later, my parents reminded me of a fact, that I had forgotten: at night, we heard the cries of wild animals. My parents thought it was a stray dog, but they didn't know exactly. The beast was very massive, one meter ninety, but curved. It stood neither like a man nor like a monkey, in between. It was not at all aggressive, and had a human look. It was in broad daylight, and both of us drew the beast after this incident, exactly the same way" (the pdf file with the drawing can be found on google after typing these search items "l´home sauvage alpes france"))

[@stanislavivanov2889]

You have chosen this idyllic music very well. This series is very soulful and fresh.

[@Got2Go]

Guys, I am currently still on the road with very limited access to internet! Videos will come each Thursday but I will still be lost in non-wifi-country for 1-2 weeks! So I am sorry if I can’t respond to your comments like usual! Meanwhile terrible and sad things are happening in Europe in Ukraine and I thought about pausing my happy-travel-content for the next weeks. I will make a community post about the topic and want to hear your guys opinion how to handle this sad situation.

[@edvanandel]

No problem. Stay safe.

[@binalwanvlogs]

Good luck I am interested watching your vlogs

[@chriscm6461]

Fab, but too short. 👍🏍😢. Have to wait a whole week for the next one 😃

The Alps are still so beautiful ! ✌👌

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

Thank you for another spectacular ride !!!!

[@keithstovin1482]

Great stuff 👍👍, Really enjoying watching your video's, I was in the Pyrenees in 13 and 15 then the Pico's in 17, this is giving me the inspiration to back around the area again this year. Thanks, Well appreciated.

[@alexrakir491]

WOW! Thank you!!!

[@jarleostad1697]

A mountain pass a day keeps the doctor away :) I am so glad I found your channel! I have done some trips to the Alps from where I live in Norway, have at least 110 different pass in my logbook and I know I haven`t seen half of them yet. Then there are all the Balcony roads and the "gorges" in between. Your travel reports are the best, I relieve some of the beautiful places when I see your films, and I get ideas and add more places to go on my physical maps, which are already full of notes and hints :) Keep up the amazing work you do, yiou give ideas and inspiration to plan more trips on two wheels. Thanks!

[@leocomans9311]

Beautiful again Lea, danke!

[@California__Sun]

Beautiful ❤️

[@brunobastin1628]

Before going back to the US early next year, I'll ride with you sometime this year ;-)

[@ttrguy9952]

Lea I skied this place off piste for a month. The avalanche danger was off the chart. We were warned of any noises. Very dangerous skiing!!! Very steep with a lot of drops. You have captured the beauty of this region without all of the snow. Amazing beautiful Lady!!! Your videos go right to the soul of the beauty of these places. You capture it with grace and awe. You are my favorite Lady traveler! Peace Lea! You now get 15 roses because of this beautiful video. Ride SAFE and BE safe Lea. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👌👍🤙✌🖖👋🙂

[@Got2Go]

Omg i Have so much respect of avalanches … very brave but be careful if you do that in the future!

[@KMeyn]

Very nice video! Did Col d'Izoard and Col Agnel last year. More or less in the opposite direction of you :).

[@vardaraj6213]

Lovely mountains 😯

[@christerhagstrom2652]

Looking forward to the next episode, you make great films!

[@veysisitilci7697]

Hi Lea welcome. 👋👋

[@sammayet9002]

Spectacular and superb

[@NooBiker]

Jus gets better and better. Like the mountain passes, why does such a journey and series have to eventually end?

[@veysisitilci7697]

Thanks for your nice video….

[@zweispurmopped]

On any day such a video would be a highlight. Today it's such a relief, a bit of escapism. Oh so lovely! 😍🤗

[@Got2Go]

Yes, so sad what happens at the moment. No words 😔

[@jimweagant8920]

Another great video thanks for sharing

[@GSrijder]

Drove col d'Izoard, a few times already, Col Agnel still to do. I hope the weather gets better soon so we can start the motorcycle trips. Looking forward to the next episode ( again )

[@leopoldeigner7631]

Wieder ein tolle Video. Diese Straßen sind traumhaft. Kaum zu glauben das du es immer wieder schaffst so faszinierende Bilder zu zeigen.Ein großes Lob🤗👍 LG Leopold

[@didierbolzer5914]

Merci encore Léa pour tes beaux voyages . Je comprends mieux ta pause aujourd'hui ! Solidarité avec nos peuples en souffrance . Amitié Didier

[@chuckg1546]

great video, thank you

[@boxerridersgsa]

Wir sind dieser Rute vorletzten Jahr gefahren... einfach wunderschön!!😎

[@nyp3939]

Wow. I think that scenery is the best yet. Great roads. Beautiful area. First class production. Thank you.

[@bikerdash27]

Fab Video !

[@JagLite]

I always smile when you say "One of the highlights..." Every scene is one of the highlights! It is all so beautiful. Thank you for bringing us along for the journey.

[@dauchaudhary6724]

Amazing . Such a beautiful journey with diverse nature and people . Really inspiring .

[@ViaggiInMoto13]

This work you produce is extremely important. Very good image capture, useful route information. Congratulations

[@matratzenberater4617]

Also ich bin seit 40 Jahren mit meinem Motorrad im italienisch - französischen Grenzgebieten unterwegs und gratuliere dir zu diesen tollen Berichten und Eindrücken ! Könnte man heute noch auf den Mont Chaberton mit Motorrädern wie Ihr sie habt rauffahren , Ihr hättet es sicher auch dort rauf geschafft ! Als ich 1992 am Chaberton oben stand , hat meine Faszination für diese wunderbaren Pässe begonnen . Im Juni 2023 werde ich wieder rund um Cuneo und Sestriere unterwegs sein und so wie du auch wieder im Hotel Capricorno übernachten . Danke für diese tollen Berichte !

[@Gullafrah]

beautiful scenery .its my dream to visit Europe and see all these beautiful places

[@christophmensch3945]

Lea, i think you are a goddess in turning your love for the Alps into videos. I would call your presentation divine, nothing more and nothing less.

[@glenngribble7483]

Love the drone shots and beautiful scenery , glad we found you channel

[@carldennis7734]

What an awsome ride with magnificent views all the way. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride 🏍🤩

[@Eva-Eva1010]

What..a dream ride keeps getting more beautiful I'm in awe of your journey 🛵🕺

[@Swedeonamotorcycle]

so nice.. was in the Alps with most focus on the French side last year and already miss it.. Hope to go back again this year...

[@omartribouley8098]

Siempre me gusta mucho tus vídeos 😍

[@palantir135]

The west side of the Alps is very green and that has a reason. Both times I was there in summer, in France next to Switzerland, it rained a lot between the very warm sunny periods. Very beautiful though. Where you were riding looks gorgeous. I always take homemade sandwiches with me in a day tour. Most of the times one with peanut butter and one with Nutella. Keeps you awake.

[@darrylmoffett8323]

Amazing roads, paved or unpaved. Europe has roads that much older, as you’ve pointed out, than we have in the US. So many gravel roads get paved over, straightened out or made wider. Making it hard to ride roads like these. This being the reason for taking on the BDR’s ( Backcountry Discovery Routes). Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸

[@edwardmiller6353]

Wow, Lea, that is some fantastic scenery! Thank you for sharing it!!

[@mtn-tiger]

Thank you for a job well done, beautiful scenery and video😊

[@ljubott]

Wooow,,,,,Thank you very much Lea, you and your travel partner, this really excites me on motorcycle roads like this. Heavenly beautiful and amazing! I hope to be able to drive this way. Stay healthy and many greetings. 👍 Ljubo 👍

[@abdulqadeer3717]

Great work Lia مزےدار ویڈیو

[@Sequenox]

Wonderful video Lea!

[@johnvaleriewelbers2995]

😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 yup another great vid thanks for sharing

[@gjdezzo1628]

Col d’Izoard coming from the north is one of the best cols I have ever ridden. We did that one on the Routes des Grande Alps that is more ore less following the D902 all the way from Thonon-les-Bains to Menton. Thank you for showing us more cols in that area. Looks promising!

[@bobhudi3318]

This video is nothing short of spectacular! I have an Indian Challenger and live in the States wish I could have joined you on this journey! Well done 😎

[@TheNextCorner-original]

I like col de la bonette, petit saint benard, col d’izoard ❤ been there alot from the netherlands 😊

[@samhill3496]

Wonderful; to see a happy view of the world. Anyday but especially this day. Beautiful vids from the drone. Thanks. Safe rides. Everybody get high, mountain high.

[@markus_8762]

1:07 sogar Glarner hat es im Ceaglio Marmora - bin gerade am nächsten Westalpentrip am Planen und war noch nie auf dem Col Agnel, danke für dein immer wieder tolles Filmmaterial.

[@jaironflores7667]

Muy bonito te quiero ver por latino America

[@victory017t3]

Delightful

[@andrewewan624]

Beautiful scenery.. As always, superb video by one of the best channels ..thank you Stay safe

[@garethjones6672]

Amazing scenery, really inspiring 👍

[@kwcty00pztak]

Great scenery and bends. I share the feelings of driving down, you know how to tell well. Welcome to Finland!

[@robyvinc]

Complimenti per gli ultimi due video che hai pubblicato!! Sono le zone dove vado tutti gli anni con gli amici, viviamo poco lontano, a fare giri di cui non mi sono ancora annoiato, ogni volta e' come se fosse la prima volta, un mare di emozioni!!! Le riprese col drone sono spettacolari e i tuoi montaggi video rendono merito alla bellezza di questi panorami. BRAVISSIMA!!! Ti suggerisco, quando tornerai da questa parti, il Tunnel del Parpaillon , un'altra meta spettacolare. Saluti Roberto

[@phildivalerio]

Brilliant route planning, Lea. The journey is truly more important than the destination.

[@johnfrye8452]

Exceptional video. The drone shots were fantastic.

[@charlesharris2749]

The Alps are much more beautiful than I knew. I travelled the Rockies driving an 18 wheeler to help pay for college... but riding those passes on 2 wheels looks like a lot more fun! Thanks for the great video again.

[@popeye77ish]

Absolutely stunning scenery. Thanks, Lea. I see you're getting closer to 100k G2G fans, glad to see. So the Fox is upset by the elephant comment eh?! Well, these 2 numbers are causing grief as well.... 13 and 10,080 guess what they are? 🤔🤨 😊 Safe riding. BTW I see narrow paths in the drone shots. Are those hiking trails?

[@gsdfan8455]

Once again, stunning scenery, especially above the tree line. I hope to someday travel across the U.S. and get above the trees in the Rocky Mountains. Thanks, as always.

[@eddyleandres678]

This was a beautiful video keep the good work 😘🇵🇹🇨🇦

[@ericbrentstrand]

I just love your photography !!! Great job - keep it up - stay safe !!!

[@richardhinton985]

Your drone footage was stunning in this video.

[@davemitchell8756]

Great work Lea, inspiring us all to ride the alps 👍👍

[@ediyo3663]

Amazing trip,beautiful scenery,I wish some day U go to Indonesia Lea👍👍

[@hmoosawi]

Magnificent views, Really enjoyable rides

[@queen452010]

Again another trip with breathtaking views! Oh the mountains 🏔 so beautiful, peaceful, majestic! Wish I could ride with you guys but I’m so afraid of riding bikes , my husband wanted to buy one and I told him you’d be riding alone , cars are ok for me , lol 😆. Thank you Lea for riding and sharing the beauty of this amazing world. Keep traveling and be safe . Love from New York!

[@danielgiorgi514]

Belleza absoluta! cuanta historia en esas montañas ,me gusto mucho !!

[@RogierYou]

Fox the pack mule 😜

[@jumpymonkey]

I've been following your channel for a few years and this is my first comment. Your videos are a step above others. The combination of beautiful locations, video editing, informative narration, and the ongoing mystery of your travel partner, you really produce quality moto travel videos that inspire the viewer. Even if that means finding a less traveled road close to home. Thank you!

[@Got2Go]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Great that you are a part of the travel crew too - no matter if more silent or not!

[@kurtruppenthal9506]

Great video, Lea. Just stunning photography. Hey, how many liters is your dry bag? (Red bag)

[@adilchahbiFB]

Amazing 😍👍

[@rogermeyer860]

"The more mountain passes the better"...love it:) Another great video Lea! Come back to the Western United States to experience some new ones:) I'm surprised so many of the passes are paved. Is this because some used for the Tour de France?
