I left the United States for the Swiss Alps | Tour1 Part 1

[@HerTwoWheels]

In all seriousness... it is magical experiencing a new part of our beautiful world on two wheels. I hope you enjoyed this Part 1 of the Ultimate Alps Motorcycle Tour presented by Tour1. If you would like to check out all the available motorcycle tours, check out the website here: bit.ly/484H2P2 (And if you want to book a tour, I would hurry up and do it for the "Ultimate Alps 2025" because this one books up FAST and it is absolutely incredible!) Subscribe and stay tuned for Part 2!

[@LiamE69]

Okay this is a bit weird. A couple of months ago I subscribe to biker from the states and I wake up this morning to a video of them driving past my house...

[@Thenvisibleman]

Absolutely brilliant video Jess I felt like I was there enjoying the ride can't wait for more

[@xistsixt]

Cool presentation of my home! I'm flying paragliders in the grimsel region! You should to see this place from above! Even as a local, it's still breathtaking! I'm not patriotic, but surely I love my roots... I lived one village further where you stayed in the hotel

[@m4niac123]

As someone who lives in Switzerland and drives these mountain passes several times a year, its a great experience everytime.

its getting booring from time to time more.. if you ask me which you didnt but.. ;)

@@serverch yes this may be true, but when you try different directions, time of day or you have bad luck with the weather, you always spot something new.

[@gunterification]

Way too busy, rediciously low speed limits and fines. cops are real nazis there. Rather go to italy or even france.

[@TheSuperheimwerker]

Living in germany we see these roads everyday and forget how blessed we are !!!! cheers Jess!!

[@Gurra_Gforce]

Scandinavia reporting, the church in our village is 900 years old. The roads follow the old boundaries of the fields/Owners land etc. Makes you feel deeply rooted in the landscape, much like a Hobbit :)

[@Alogicchannel]

This is what it’s like in many parts of the east coast USA. The roads were based on Indian trails, which were based on Deer or Buffalo trails. This does not apply to Florida- you can go anywhere in Florida by only turning twice lol.

[@juschu]

schon… aber viele Ortsstraßen und teilweise Landstraßen werden schon auch vernachlässigt. Auf den Pässen etc will man sich nach außen hin nicht die Blöße geben. Inzwischen ist Österreich hier schlimmer. Ortsstraßen, dass du froh bist, wenn du endlich Rumänien erreicht hast… kein Vergleich mehr… wahnsinn.

I'm from Switzerland, and I have to say that seeing your video amazed me, even though I see these passes every year. Thank you!

Wow, thank you!

[@JVictor75]

I'm really enjoying the mix of "In-Helmet" commentary and the occasional voiceovers for accompaniement. This is a really great series, Jess! So happy you and Jordan were able to not only take some time for yourselves, but for you to have the opportunity to bring us along for the ride. Thank you so much!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Awesome, thank you!

[@atomicgrasshopper4391]

To Americans that want to ride in Europe but money is an issue. Check the Transfagarasan (rated best road in the world by Top Gear) and Transalpina in Romania. Equally impressive but way cheaper as they are located in Eastern Europe. Also, with a bit of reaserch, you can find hidden gems of towns packed with castles and other historical sites that you can't find anywhere else. Cheers from Romania and ride safe!

When I was in Italy I saw dozens of bikers riding in Tuscany mountains. So now European motorcycle touring is on the bucket list. This video just confirms it.

[@404michaelnotfound]

As someone from Europe... I really hope to be able to ride some of these roads soon. Great video !

[@guydumont7904]

beautiful trip with challenging roads, glad you liked it. I'm a motorbikerider from Belgium but Switzerland is still on my list, looking forward for the second part. Have good and safe drive

[@Butchamet]

I love to hear and see how you experiance Europe. I´m from Austria and ride all the passes you did and I know this is absolute stunning but must be breathtaking for US guys. The roads are quite narrow compared to US. Enjoy it. Have fun

[@systemaddictx]

that massive glacier sent chills through my whole body. what an incredible shot, what amazing views. breathtaking and unbelievably stunning surroundings. I'm floored. can't wait for part 2!!!

Just returned from visiting friends in Switzerland. I rode from the UK through France , Germany and then to the North East of Switzerland. I had a fantastic time and will certainly return next year. Love the video. All the best and stay safe.

Not sure I could be any more jealous. Simply awesome!

[@HerTwoWheels]

It really was gorgeous!

[@andreass.3444]

I like the scene where you wave to the train. Have you noticed, you can go to the remotest areas in the Swiss Alps and almost everywhere there are train tracks and trains there? If you can't ride the Alps on your own wheels, you can also ride it by train, this is unique and that's Switzerland!

[@HerTwoWheels]

[@SheWillRide]

This was by far your best video EVER!!!!!! It was so good and well done and the drone footage was so awesome. rock on girl!!!! What an incredible trip. So happy you got to do it with Jordan.

[@flhx_2011_sedona]

Hi to both of you from Austria! Congrats to your decision to do that trip and to build memories that last forever. We did an roadtrip which included 9 (out of 10) of the highest and challenging mountain passes in the alps 3 weeks ago. To watch your videos brings memories alive and some goosebumps ;-) The riding in the alps is not comparable to what your are used to, but form time to time we have to get out of our comfort zone to get further in life. In 2025 we will visit the US for a 3 weeks roadtrip - so see you on the road

[@cdg-hzg]

Experiencing riding in Switzerland is even better on the back of a bicycle. The climbs are tougher, but the downhills are a blast. You can't match the daily mileage of a motorcycle, but you get a better look at the beautiful scenery.

[@gallimead]

Excellent production, and post editing Jess. Glad you and Jordan got to visit Europe. I'm from Liverpool UK, but now living in Celina Ohio. The Swiss alps.. are beyond stunning. A great video

[@HerTwoWheels]

Thanks so much!

[@andreass.3444]

Nicely compiled video. A bit strange to see myself in a video on your channel, I met you on the ferry boat! I'm glad that you enjoyed the Swiss Alps and especially that you had good luck with the weather for your rides. It rained a lot in Switzerland in the weeks before your tour. Looking forward to see the second part.

[@cordeiropedro]

As somebody that lives in Switzerland and that rides those passes a lot of times, hats off for doing that on an Harley. The Umbrail and the Stelvio are hard enough on an Adv.

[@HerTwoWheels]

Umbrail whooped me 😂

[@MrSaemichlaus]

The nice thing about Susten, Grimsel and Furka passes is that you can do all of them in a row, and easily end up back at Lake Lucerne. It's like a roundabout for the alps. The narrower less traffic-dense passes like Nufenen, Klausen pass or lots of roads in the Jura mountains are all picturesque and you get to see some of the most beautiful countryside of Switzerland. If you want to see the scenery in any part of the country, just stay off the Autobahn and you should be good to go.

[@kurtgranlund496]

Absolutely amazing. The drone footage is incredible. This is without a doubt your best video ever.

[@2Acharmcity_Gamer]

This was an amazing video I really enjoyed it.

[@floriang.8535]

As I live in Bavaria i regularly get to the alps, bavarian forest, rivers and lakes. After all these years the beauty of the mountains, forests and lakes still hits me every single time. Hope you had fun. Stay safe

[@richardmourdock2719]

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! So happy that you and JR got to experience this tour. Tours aren't for everyone, but if you go at it as an adventure, you always have a good time. I suspect you made lifetime long memories on this trip. I hope you did. And I must say, you can go to Western Canada without an airplane, always have English speaking hosts and the Canadian Rockies are so different that the US Rockies. Definitely something you need to put on your "to do" list. Again, congratulations to the two of you. Glad you had the chance to experience much of Europe and from personal experience, Italy was my favorite. I'm looking forward to the next video of this trip!

[@ElectraWillem]

Been there... done that!! Over the last 25 years I did ride over all these nice mountain passes more then once and have seen 17 European countries on two wheels.

Loved the music, voice overs, and the sceneries and comradery and hospitality shown throughout. Never been to any of these places even that they're somewhat close to me as a Dutchmen.

[@zepedrofd]

Love that you enjoyed it. I ride the french alps a fair bit, sometimes Switzerland and Italy! These types of roads are everywhere! And the Alps are not the only beautiful places in Europe! Tight hairpins are a technique, normal to struggle the first time. Takes turning you're head at the right time and arriving at the proper pace. The entry will determine your exit. 28:42 exactly the type of rider I hate riding the Alps...they end up on the other lane exiting the corner too! (sorry for the negative comment)

[@jasonmansfieldsr8645]

My trip to Poland a couple years ago (US military-paid) was pretty awesome but we weren’t allowed to get any sort of privately-owned conveyance. I still had a good time seeing the sights in my off-time because most of what I saw was off limits to Americans the first time I was in Europe (West Germany in the 90’s, also military) because it was behind the iron curtain! Poland, Czech republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and former East Germany. It was amazing and I really want to go back to experience it on two wheels. Glad you had a good time, and thanks for sharing!

[@kevinyoung5841]

Thanks for sharing this experience. I have ridden in most of those places over the years, and now I live in the French Alps I get to ride these roads very ride I take. Seeing it through your American eyes was interesting. I understand why you took an organised tour, but don’t be afraid to make your own way next time. You seem a little insulated from things. And as for that bike, that is not a nimble bike! I would recommend looking for a lighter option next time as your curiosity will take you down some much smaller, tighter roads than these. There is so much to explore. Looking forward to episode 2.

[@cubicB4]

I enjoyed the ride with you - thanks. I have been driving those Passes with car many times - but your ride made me want to ride em by a Motorbike. Pretty cool!

It was in the year 2002 Just like you said in your video, it was the first time for everything ! Never took a plane before, never took a train before, first time in the mother country France, first time in Germany, etc. I so liked it, I came back every two years, I saved money just for that !
