Bosenberg Motorcycle ExcursionsIn the Alps the best riding weather is late May to late September. Valley temperatures are from 15 to 28 degrees Centigrade (60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit). It is cooler riding on mountain passes. Chilly nights are possible in the mountains. It is also possible for rapid weather changes to bring rain or even a brief snowstorm at the top of the highest of passes in summer! Whether in a valley or at 2,500 meters, riders should be prepared for various riding conditions at all times of the year. You receive a recommended riding gear and clothing list with your tour or rental packet.
