The Stella Alpina Annual Motorcycle Rally
Since it was dreamed up in 1966 by Turin BMW Club Menber Mario Artusio, The "Stella Alpina Motociclistica Internazionale", known to us in the UK as the Stella Alpina Rally (or simply "The Stella"), has taken place in the Italian Alps every year. Apart fromthe very first Stella, the Rally has been based in and around the Italian ski-resort town of Bardonecchia, located close to the Italian/French border at the end of the Frejus tunnel linking the two countries.

The term "Rally" conjures up thoughts of a competitive event, however this description does not apply to the Stella Alpina as there is no competition as such involved – other than the personal challenge of getting yourself and your machine to the summit of course! The Stella is simply a meeting of motorcyclists (and their pillion passengers) who share a common interest – to ride their machines in some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain anywhere.

The highlight of the event for many is the traditional Sunday dash up the largely unsurfaced gravel track to the summit (3009m/9872ft elevation) of the Colle del Sommeiller, though the socialising and cameraderie over the whole weekend is also a major attraction of the event. The weather on the day largely dictates how many, or indeed IF any riders make it to the summit itself with conditions in previous years varying from brilliant sunshine and blue skies to several inches of snow lying on the trail and fresh snow still falling!

Nobody can organise the weather. We're all in it for the adventure – just come prepared!
