BMW Motorrad GS Academy

BMW Motorrad GS Academy is BMW Motorrad Italia’s off‑road training school offering one‑to‑one, group and multi‑day GS riding courses. Sessions teach practical enduro techniques on a fleet of BMW GS motorcycles across prepared tracks and local trails.

The program runs from a base near Casa Ratti in Momeliano (Piacenza) and uses nearby off‑road fields and Appennino Piacentino trails. Courses are delivered with specialist partners and focus on riding skills, safety and trail navigation.
