Getting there … I really feel blessed having made such good relationships with so many colleagues during my career. It is always nice to keep in touch – even if it is not on a regular basis. I spent quite some time working for an account located in Switzerland, this is where I met the…

The last night on the Flüela pass
We left Finale Ligure on 13th September 2018 with the fabulous plan to drive to Livigno, sleep there, do another day riding the fancy bikepark there and then head home. Unfortunately the weather in the alps started to change from sunny to rainy on our way back, so we just had a quick stop in…
Finale Ligure – Camping Tahiti – Day 5 // Nato base uphill, Crestino and Super Groppo lower trail
The rest day yesterday was spent with walking 12 km, more serious tanning business that resulted in a bit of sunburn and of course eating ice cream. As today is the last day in Finale, there was no excuse not to climb up to the famous Nato base and ride some trails from there. We…
Finale Ligure – Camping Tahiti – Day 3 // Rugetta original & Briga Trail
After having spent one day with a run along the beachside and serious tanning approaches on the beach, we did another MTB trail tour yesterday. After the Kill Bill II experience, we checked for trails in the range up to S2 – I recommend trailforks for checking the skill requirements. The tour had two thankful…
Finale Ligure – Camping Tahiti – Day 1 // A thrill with Kill Bill II
Unbelievable but true – we are at the mediterranean sea, with mountains, and trails. I had to go for swim almost immediately yesterday after we arrived in the late afternoon. The water is warm like in a bathtub, not refreshing but nice! Today we planned a trail tour with + 1000 meters of height, but…

Schlanders – Camping Vogelsang – Day 3 // One hot hike, no bike
For today the WiFi connection is annoying me so much that I am just going to share some pics of the hike today. The route I created is available on outdooractive.com, if you are ever visiting Schlanders and are up to gaining some meters of height by foot. It was very warm again today, we…
Schlanders – Camping Vogelsang – Day 2
Around 30°C with a burning sun today but we were telling ourselves today or never – uphill Sonnenberg, downhill Monte Sole (Sunny Benny) and Tschilli trail. We tried that already in 2013, on that very first bike vacation still riding hardtails, and I remember that we had to push our bikes and were not able…
Schlanders – Camping Vogelsang – Day 1
Yesterday we had another transfer day, while travelling to Schlanders / Vinschgau we made a quick stop at the Salewa concept store in Bozen, which is really nicely built with a climbing wall outside of the building and a well organized shop inside. Once arrived in Schlanders on Camping Vogelsang, we managed to set up…
Caravan Park Sexten – Day 3 (Auronzo hut – Tre Cime di Lavaredo hut – Fischleinboden hut)
Yesterday was rest day, people who know me may wonder what a restless me does on rest days. I had a ton of great ideas what could be done on rest days – climbing on the climbing tower on the campsite for example, or take the bus and visit the town of Sexten, go for…
