- These are my TOP 10 motorcycle passes in the Swiss Alps. They are in this list for different reasons - some are just a pleasure to ride like the Umbrail Pass, others are of special historic meaning like the old cobble stone Tremola and some offer stunning views like the San Bernardino pass.
Enjoy this compilation - let me know what you think in the comment section.

What I love about the Splugenpass is that it goes accross the italian border (south) from the swiss border (north). As soon as you cross the mountain, you get greeted by a mediterranean environment and culture, aside from mountainnuous environment and culture. This really shows how these mountains have divided cultures for centuries..
Indeed - you see this everywhere in Europe- just cross some arbitrarily created border and you can experience a different culture 😉
In the US if you travel this far, congrats you're still in the same state and everything looks the same.
As usual, great video. My wife and I rode 12 of those passes last year when we had a 10 day motor bike hire from Milan
It was a memorable 10 days riding our BMW 1250 RT, what a great bike for these roads, very different to our Honda
Goldwing we have back here in Australia. Cheers from down under and keep the videos coming
Leonard Mele wow - you traveled a long way to experience the beauty of the alps 😎👍 thank you for comment - it’s nice to know that the videos reach all the way to Australia 😉 cheers
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Nathan Oakley Instablaster =)
@Sergio Xander i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Sergio Xander it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
I have been living in Switzerand for many years , these used to be my weekend routes ! Love it . I love Switzerland.Great video!

Love watching this Oliver, i will be blessed too when i get to ride these from your list in June. thank you as usual for putting together such a wonderful collection of 'best motorbike roads' you have inspired me all along to commit to such beautiful adventures. keep on riding safe, kind regards Peter
Thank you Peter! You will have a great time on the road! Let's hope we all can travel again by the time summer comes around 😎
Ein weiteres ausgezeichnetes Video 5 * sehr gut sehr gut. Eines Tages kannst du nach Portugal kommen, ich zeige dir einige ausgezeichnete Straßen;)
Manuel Gaspar vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar. Portugal wäre schön. Mache ich bestimmt auch noch einmal eines Tages 👍 die Anreise ist halt sehr lang.
@@MotoVibes 😉😉👌
You really up’d your game on this one. Superbly shot and edited. As to a fav....nah all too good to choose one over another. Well done brother. 👍🏼 👏👏👏 😎 🇺🇸
Bradley Alexander thank you very much. 🤙Same here. They are all good. That’s why I did not rank them 😎
Wonderful vid. Albula pass is a good shout too
Thank you very much - The Albula has some nice sections too indeed ;-)
Absolutely brilliant I got back last week thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for watching. I need to get back there one of these days again 😉
Beautiful track 👍👍
Glad you like it!
Great video. I have done them all before in a car, but to do them on a bike remains on the bucket list.
you should definitly try these roads on a motorbike ;-)
Beautiful,..I want to be there right now guys on my S1000XR TE with my wife.
Lovely chill out video, well done more passes please 😊👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you very much- glad you enjoyed the video. 😉
impresionant!!!!!!!
Fonso Rotger thank you 😊
Another awesome video loving your work dude 👍
Kiwi Kiter thank you very much for your comment and for watching cheers 👍😎
Hi. Thank You for many Alp roads and inspiration for me. Switzerland definitly is on my moto compas. Greetings from Poland👍😀
Krokodyl317 thank you very much. Nice to read that some these roads will make it on your moto compass. Cheers
@@MotoVibes We are gonna to be there this Year💪I invite You on my channel. Regards and exciting 2020 sezon.
Awesome video
Alex Vuckovic thank you very much Alex 🤙
Because i live in the Reuss-valley, my homestretch is Gottard (Tremola is a must😉)-Nufenen-Grimsel-Susten.
But i think my favorite is the San Bernardinopass.
RnineTz Lucky you 😎 it takes me a days ride to get anywhere close. Thank you for your comment. Cheers
Excellent video! Thanks for traveling me in the middle of winter!
Thank you very much- glad you lik it 😉
Did them all....hoping to do a few this summer
Ronald H they do not disappoint with the exception of Swiss speed limits 😬
@@MotoVibes Ha! The ONLY speeding ticket (or moving violation) I've EVER gotten in 53 years of driving was in Switzerland. Damn Autobahn speed cameras. Went from "Unbegrenzt" to a 120 zone so fast that I should have hit the brakes. But that would have been dumb, given the open road and speed of traffic. Coasting meant I was too far over the new limit, thus the ticket. So the supposed "safe" choice was hitting the brakes and endangering others. Lame.
Dude On Bike it does take the fun out - at last a little bit. Still a beautiful place though
Damned! Ich hab gestern schon gesehen, dass ein neues Video von Dir hochgeladen wurde - musste aber weg und konnte es mir heut' erst ansehen. Wahnsinn! Dieses hier zählt sicher mit zu den Besten, die es auf Deinem Kanal - und auch sonst im Motorradbereich auf CZcams - gibt! Hut ab. Das Editing und die Stimmung durch die Musikauswahl und die Drohnenbilder sind grandios! *****
Vielen Dank für die Blumen -freut mich sehr, dass das Video Dir gefällt - ich hoffe, dass ich dazu komme die TOP 10 der französischen und der italienischen Alpen zu machen - da sind auch einige schöne Pässe dabei ;-) sei gegrüßt!
Very nice 👌👍
Carl G. Thank you 😎👍🤙
Magnifique!!!!
Thank you 🙏
If i won the lottery i would def have a place in Innertkirchen. Having ridden these passes and a lot of others over the years i can def agree these are some of the best & technical routs ive ever done.
Absolutely. So far my luck wasn’t enough to hit the jackpot 😉
Agreed! A place in Innertkirchen would be perfect, we started our small tour there a few weeks ago-
czcams.com/video/Og4GEsjWCLw/video.html
That was fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you for watching - glad you enjoyed it 😉
tja was soll ich sagen, wieder mega und weltklasse, vor allem die drohnenszenen machen das ganze sehr cool... danke dafür und schönes we... gruß rico
Rico Leistner vielen Dank Rico! Schön dass Du wieder vorbei schaust 😉 ich bin noch den letzten Tag in den Bergen in Österreich 🇦🇹 morgen geht es wieder Heim. Schönes Wochenende. Cheers
@@MotoVibes machste beim ski fahren auch so coole filme...???
Rico Leistner das ist eher was für die Familie und deutlich weniger aufwändig 😉
Excellent combination of video and music in the intro! Perfect! And seldom to see such a good post production in mc videos here on Utube.
Thank you very much for the kind words Jan! Thank you for watching and Happy New Year!
@@MotoVibes Ich denke du kennst der Welten Bumler Joe Pichler aus Österreich? Er hat verrückte videos von seinen Abenteuerlichen Reisen gemacht. Es lohnt sich die anzuschauen. Z.B. seine Reise von Salzburg bis Kerala in Indien. 27145 km. Und viele andere. Toll gemacht.
@@JanAndersenBHMP super Tipp - habe mir das 2 Stündige Video Salzburg nach Indien angeschaut- ganz großes Kino 👍
Great video. Planning a trip for next year so this has helped a lot👍
Glad to know - thank you! Have a great time on your trip!
Beautiful film, but omitting the Furka Pass is unforgivable.
It is indeed 😎👍
The part north of the pass height is really sketchy and unforgivable, the southern part ist just amazing to ride.
This looks so cool 🌍👍
Thank you 😉
Gorgeous footage
Thank you 😎👍
Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
Very good.
Thank you! Cheers!
Suggested CH good biking road. Route 11, from Spiez to Aigle
Mega Video! Danke für den Upload!
Bin im September selber in der Schweiz um Pässe zu fahren - allerdings mit dem Auto xD
plAtin54 die gute Aussicht ist die gleiche 😉 das feeling ist natürlich besser auf 2 Rädern, aber dann hast Du einen Grund zurück zu kommen 👍
Auto ist ok, aber nur wenn es ein Porsche ist!!!
Dude On Bike Auto ist ok solange es einem selber Spaß macht!
Ofenpass fand ich persönlich noch sehr👍🏻. Hätte noch gut in die Liste gepasst ☺️
Hot Monkey Thunder man kommt wirklich sehr schnell auf zehn Pässe. Den Ofenpass bin ich auch schon mal gefahren. Auch sehr schön 😉
MotoVibes ja da sind schon viele schöne Pässe in der Schweiz 😊. Wird jetzt nur Zeit das das Wetter besser wird, könnte schon wieder los😂🙈
my dream trip, maybe i cant afford go there, thanks for the beautiful video. im asian btw.
Thank you very much- I hope you will get the chance to ride in the Alps. If you cannot bring your own bike that definitely adds costs to the trip plus the flight. There are many places outside of Europe I would be interested in seeing but it’s hard to justify the costs - thanks for watching 😉
Fantastic, I really enjoyed that one. How long does it take to ride all 10? I plan to do it late May, early June 2020. Any recommended order?
ray8328 I am sure you could do 10 in 2 days. Switzerland was not my final destination so far but one of the countries to travel through. First time was a tour through the alps from east to west and than back from west to east. Last time we were heading to the French alps and passed through Switzerland 🇨🇭
Hallo, deine filme haben mich inspiriert und letztes Jahr war ich in den dolomiten und den schweizer alpen. Ich stimme mit Ihren Top 10 überein, ich würde Albulapass und Furkapass hinzufügen. In diesem Jahr plane ich, Route des Grandes Alpes aufzunehmen. Natürlich wegen deiner Videos ;)
Good job 👍
Mfg Patrick aus Polen
Vielen Dank Patrick für Deinen netten Kommentar - es freut mich, dass diese Videos ein Inspiration für Dich sind. Albulapass und Furkapass bin ich ebenfalls gefahren - es ist ja in der Schweiz recht schwer sich für genau 10 zu entscheiden - am Ende macht es auch die Abwechslung, die es interessant macht in den Alpen Motorrad zu fahren. Die Route des Grandes Alps ist für mich ebenfalls ein absolutes Highlights - falls ich dazu komme eine TOP 10 der fränzösischen Pässe zu machen wirst Du einige der Pässe der Route des Grandes Alps wieder finden ;-) - Grüße nach Polen!
Hör bitte auf, solch klasse Fahrstrecken und schöne Landschaften zu zeigen, wenn ich doch jetzt Anfang Februar nicht gleich dahin kann, um das selbst zu erleben. 😂
Zweiradlust ja leider müssten wir noch ein bisschen warten. Aber der Frühling steht ja fast vor der Tür. Vielen dank für deinen netten Kommentar 😎
Классное видео,,,,
Thank you ;-)
Amazing roads! What are your camera settings?
Thank you very much - I did a whole video on my camera setup czcams.com/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/video.htmlsi=h0r2kWLeXNI_VTVt
♥
👍
thank you for the video..really well done. Love the music! Question: We are planning an 8 day trip from Geneva and back, anyone suggest 3-6 hr / day rides and any possible hotels along the way? Please help; trip is in September 4-12, 2023

Wonderful video as many other that you have done
Watching yr channel for some time and you are doing amazing job there helping other people to make better decisions when it comes to choices
BTW would have a question here
I am planning trip trough the Alps from Czech Republic down to France on 1290 with my wife but would first week of May be too soon to do that?Any advice would be much appreciated
Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you very much- glad you like the content 😉 as for the time to travel to the French Alps - you can go in early May but some of the highest passes may still be closed - some do not open until the end of May /beginning of June. There is still much to see but if you really want to ride the highest passes beginning of June would be a safer bet. You can check local websites for status on the passes - some give a prediction when they open others will only tell you if they are closed or open. Enjoy your trip 😎👍
Hi Mate, love your Helmet, Is it a RUROC ATLAS 4.0 ? If it´s not can you let me know which one is it? Many thanks
It is a Touratech Aventuro Carbon ;-)
How do I go about taking my bike from the US to the Swiss Alps?
great video.
did you hit the Lukmanier, Maloja and Julier passes ?
i do think the best road here is the Nufenen pass by far
if you get back to Switzerland let me know, im a Brit living here
Thank you very much- lucky you living in the middle of all these great passes 😉 I have done a few more than on this list but I don’t think the Lukmanier was one of them 😉
@@MotoVibes yeah i am Lucky, the Wife is Swiss so yeah i got lucky indeed to be here, but we will be moving state side next year, so i make the most of it ever week.
the Lukmanier pass is where i used to live till recently i lived in a village called Olivone and at first the road was a horror, it hadnt had a new surface in 30 years. NOW its brand new tarmac end to end.
if you get chance to come back let me know i will drop you an email over with my contact Details later today
We live here too! Absolutely love the Nufenen Pass - We have ridden it a few weeks ago and the colours were fantastic!
czcams.com/video/Og4GEsjWCLw/video.html
top quality ;) chek Europe Travel pass
Europe Travel Pass thank you very much 😎
Quite fascinating scenery !
But can anyone explain to me, what does " highest elevation" means in this video ? and does "m" stand for mile or meter ? Sory, I'm from a non-English country and love motorcyle trip.
Thank you Aron- highest elevation is the highest point of the pass above sea level in meters 😉
@@MotoVibes I see~ Thanks a lot.
What helmets are they using?
I am using this one czcams.com/video/ysiMw_UWN1o/video.html
@Motovibes.. what route would you recommend for 4 days starting from Zurich ?
I am short on time and finding options on how much of Swiss alps I can cover in 4 days
Oh - 4 days I would either go East towards the Dolomites and cover some Swiss passes on the way and back or go southwest towards the West Alps (Route des Grandes Alps). How far you get depends on the km you want ot ride in a day. You could just stay in Switzerland and discovery the smaller roads too. For tour ideas check motovibes-4.creator-spring.com/digital
@@MotoVibes Thank you. This is helpful!
Very nice video. I don't know why 6 poeple dislike it? probably they don't have a bike😁
Thank you very much- I am glad most people are like you and liked it - good enough for me - cheers 😉👍
Did you ever do the road up by Kandersteg after the trainstation?
photos.app.goo.gl/EFM4Ewp8Hz4d5uLy9
Oh wow. No I have not. Thank you for pointing this road out. Definitely next time 👍
Geplaatste speld
In de buurt van 3718 Kandersteg, Zwitserland

It ends at a restaurant but its a realy nice off road path
Ronald H thank you. That’s great.👍
How would someone go about taking a motorcycle to Swiss Alps from the US?
Cheapest but also longest way is to ship it by boat through a carrier that is specialized for this kind of transport- this will likely be several thousand US dollars each way. This may only make sense for a very long trip of several months. For a few weeks renting a bike may not only be easier but also a lot cheaper in the end. I rented a bike from this place motorradvermietung-hamburg.de/ - Stephan - the owner just expanded his fleet and offers a rental hub in Munich - it’s a quick ride to the Swiss Alps from Munich and there are plenty of flights to Munich from the US
Nice and all, to much helmet in my opinion. Great top views tough!
I just like seeing myself - just kidding 😂 Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching. cheers!

Do you use ND filters at all?
Now I do but much if not all the footage in this video are still without
@@MotoVibes do you find the filters make much difference or improve the footage considerably?
@@markworthington1710 Yes, especially while riding on the motorcycle and also for the drone when there are moving subjects in the frame. The action cameras and the drone have a really high shutter speed even during normal light but especially during sunny days. The ND filters help to reduce the shutter speed and give the videos a more natural look as faster moving subject (or the scenery or background) get a bit of motion blur
Soundtrack plz?
Shawn - please check the description of the video - all tracks are credited ;-)
no klausenpass? 😅
Der ist auch top keine Frage 😉
Tip: Sound off. The noise is terrible.
Hat keiner von euch Höhenangst, so na am Abgrund?
@@gammabyte5918 das passt schon - wenn man immer schön auf die Straße schaut 😉
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Grimsel and Susten are my favourites, Nufenen is great when coming up from the north, another nice ride is the Julier pass.
If you check out my channel, there are quite a few videos. Subscribe and enjoy !
Thank you very much Thomas - sorry for the late reply - the comment got stuck in the review loop on CZcams.
Too fast, I've just been there, you need 25mph/40km/h on the straits to enjoy them , you're not enjoying the views, you're enjoying the bends ! 🙂
Well - I do both. I have long sections when I am enjoying the scenery but these videos are boring to look at. Many times I either ride and enjoy the road or stop to enjoy all of the scenery.
Good video...but you have the elevations all wrong!
Thank you- I know I looked them all up - if they are wrong I hope not by too much then
@@MotoVibes I think you'll find they are more than a a little out! For example, at 2:09, you have Saint Gotthard Pass as being (and I quote) 2.091 m! Is that metres or miles? Either way, it's out by a HUGE magnitude!
@@Jer0867 i put the link in the description for every source for the height. Other sources confirm the height of 2107 meters above sea level incl Wikipedia- how to you get that this off by magnitudes?!
@@MotoVibes Watch the video again; the quotes of elevations are given as "2.091 m" and so on. It's quite clear to see! 2.091 m is less than 7 feet. I've worked in engineering for almost 40 years, so I'm quite familiar with the terminology regarding lengths, distances and height etc.!
@@Jer0867 now I see what you are getting at. Half the world is using a comma as decimal separator the other half a dot (like the USA). Pretty much all of Europe is using the comma including the Germany (where I am from) so switching to English from non native speakers this is what sometimes happens as it did in my indications of elevations. Usually the order of magnitude will be quite obvious as in this case to figure out the right number. This mix up of decimal separators is a lot more common than you think usually for translation reasons.
Wikipedia has an interesting article on this topic if you are interested en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
Meine und meiner SMR ihre Heimat.
600km a Day😁😁
Ps: an alle die es betrifft.

Lucky you - schöne Heimstrecke 😉
6:00 nuda time
What's with the music and no engine sound!!!!! That's what i always loved about your vids. Sorry mate, i won't be watching anymore.
Thanks for your comment - I have a mix of different styles of videos on this channel. I am kinda trying different thing but I understand that not every video will cater to every audience - thank you for watching
cobble stones in 2023....not acceptable if you as me.
This is the historic road that they maintain with its original road surface - for faster and paved travel there is the St Gotthard pass or the straight shot through the tunnel - there 3 roads in total to cross the St Gotthard 😉
@@MotoVibes i get it is historic but i think safety should come first. Cobble stones are fine for side walks on pedestrian streets. I once came into a roundabout with my motorcycle in poring rain. 4m before the roundabout there was a crosswalk made of cobble stones. I didnt see the cobble stones in the rain and was on ghe ground at the speed of the lightning.
@@whiskeythrottle333 I like the cobble stone - no issues when it’s dry and there are alternative routes if someone does not want to go on the old and slow historic road. 😉
Your videos are so professionally produced and edited! Id like to see a little more about your Lodging and foods.
How is your awesome overhead filming done? Expensive drone?
Thank you very much 😉 some of the upcoming videos will have some more footage on lodging and food - I try to keep that part of the content somewhat limited. If I watch other riders content some times I find there is too much of that 😉
I use 2 drones - I have a DJI Mavic air 2 which is old now by current standards and likely will see an upgrade soon. The DJI is for all the landscape shots etc. the second drone is a Skydio 2 which is excellent in tracking shots - none were in this video but on the newer videos these shots are easy to spot. It’s like having a camera man along which is great since I am usually the only one with such camera gear even if I ride in a group 😉
Albulapass is good too and the road of viamala 🛵
