Having just bought the Adventure, I've been digging out some maps of the local roads in the Alps, and looking for little roads or tracks for sorties next year once the snows melt. Came across this beauty here...

It's basically a gravel track over the Alps via a tunnel at the top, built by the military, and still useable, though no tarmac. So, perfect for big heavy Adventure bikes )
Question is, has anybody ever done it? Definitely rideable, as during searches, I've found articles on Land Rover enthusiasts etc, so it's obviously open to allcomers. I'll try it in June and send some pics in...Stroll on the summer...
