If you were planning on a beautiful Dolomites mountain motorcycling tour for summer you can forget it because the regional Trentino government in Italy is banning traffic on its high mountain pass routes, including motorcycles in the ban.
According to reports from Italy, high altitude passes and the landscapes that go with them would now be accessible only by bus, described as an “alternative transport mode”.

There is still hope for motorcyclists passionate about their summer mountain tours, as not all local authorities agree with the decision from the point of view of the local tourism economy.

More high profile campaigners though are joining the ‘no cars’ chorus, for example famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner, who says: “Let’s leave space to the cyclists and hikers, at least during the main daylight hours, from 9am to 3pm, for example, so that they can fully enjoy the natural beauty.
”While many motorcyclists would be happy to see the cars off the road, they will be loath to give up a great Italian passtime of summer mountain motorcycling.
