Website Terms & Conditions

Alpine Roads Ltd organises small-group motorcycle touring holidays for experienced riders. Tours take place on public highways and include route guidance, accommodation coordination and logistical support.

Alpine Roads does not provide motorcycles, riding instruction or rider supervision. Participants ride their own motorcycles and remain responsible for their own riding decisions at all times.

By booking a tour, participants confirm that they:

• Hold a valid motorcycle licence appropriate for their motorcycle
• Have appropriate motorcycle insurance covering all countries visited
• Are medically fit to undertake a multi-day motorcycle tour
• Are confident riding on mountain roads and long-distance routes
• Accept the inherent risks associated with motorcycle travel

Participants must ensure their motorcycle is:

• Road legal
• Properly maintained
• Appropriately insured
• Suitable for extended road touring

Alpine Roads is not responsible for the mechanical condition of participant motorcycles.

Participants remain fully responsible for:

• The safe operation of their motorcycle
• Road positioning, speed and riding decisions
• Compliance with all local traffic laws
• Their personal riding ability and judgement

Tours are conducted on public roads and riders must ride within their own ability.

Tours are organised using a relaxed group touring format.

Participants may travel at their own pace between agreed meeting points and regroup locations. Riders are not required to ride in a fixed convoy.

Participants must ensure they hold appropriate insurance including:

• Motorcycle insurance covering all countries visited
• Breakdown cover including motorcycle recovery or repatriation
• Personal travel and medical insurance covering motorcycle riding

Participants are responsible for arranging and maintaining their own insurance.

Participants are responsible for ensuring their motorcycle is suitable for the tour and properly maintained prior to departure.

If a motorcycle becomes inoperable during the tour, Alpine Roads will make reasonable efforts to assist with local recovery or arrangements where possible. However, Alpine Roads cannot guarantee repair, recovery or transportation of motorcycles.

Participants remain responsible for:

• repair costs
• recovery arrangements
• transportation or repatriation of their motorcycle
• any associated accommodation or travel costs

The tour may continue while recovery arrangements are made.

If a participant is unable to continue the tour due to mechanical issues, illness, injury or personal choice, Alpine Roads will make reasonable efforts to assist with local arrangements where possible.

However the participant remains responsible for:

• onward travel
• accommodation
• recovery of their motorcycle
• any additional expenses incurred

No refunds will be provided for unused portions of the tour once the tour has commenced.

Participants must ride responsibly and comply with all local traffic laws.

Alpine Roads reserves the right to remove a participant from the tour if their behaviour is considered unsafe or likely to endanger themselves or others.

In such circumstances the participant will be responsible for arranging their own onward travel and no refund will be provided.

Routes and daily plans may be adjusted due to weather, road conditions, safety considerations or operational requirements.

Motorcycle touring involves inherent risks including changing road conditions, weather, other road users and mechanical issues.

By participating in the tour, riders acknowledge and accept these risks.

Alpine Roads Ltd will not be liable for loss, damage or injury arising from a participant’s own riding decisions, failure to comply with local laws, or failure to maintain appropriate insurance.

Nothing in these terms limits liability where it cannot be excluded under applicable law.
