I only started to realize how I missed travelling once the landscape started to change and we were driving on the Brenner highway. Destination for our 5 days trip with the camper van was South Tyrol again, Völs am Schlern. First trip after a long long time, not only because the van has been in…

Parco Nationale Gran Paradiso – Valnontey
We wanted to use the last day without snow for a long hike in the national park Gran Paradiso which is known for its wildlife with ibex, marmot and eagles. We parked the camper van on the public parking space in Valnontey where we slept 2 nights. The campsite was already closed when we arrived,…
A hike on Hintere Schöntaufspitze (3325m)
After a peaceful night we got ready for the planned hike to the summit of the Hintere Schöntaufspitze. We decided to make use of the cable car to climb the first meters of height, still around 700 meters of height left. If the weather would have been good the place is perfect for a mountain…
On our way to Sulden or how to survive narrow pass roads
The weather starts to change and rain is forecasted almost all over Europe. We were looking for the next place to stop by and decided to head to Sulden to conquer an easy 3000+ summit. The weather forecast was not great but okay. We decided to take scenic routes to reach Sulden from Levico Terme…
Enjoying a week at Lago di Levico
2020 has been a different year for everybody so far. While we took social distancing very serious we also did not go on vacation, even not on road trips, whilst this would have been a safe thing to do. Thus we decided to start our 3 weeks roadtrip at the end of the summer holidays…
Punta Ala – A trail paradise ?
We are back home since around 2 weeks, and while I sit on our terrace on a warm golden October day I’ll recap the last 11 days of our summer camper van trip. In order to spend some time at the beach and on the bikes, we’ve chosen Punta Ala and the huge campsite Punta…
Riva del Garda – Ferrata Via dell’Amicizia
We arrived at Riva del Garda yesterday after a 6 hours drive from Zermatt over the Simplon pass road (by the way – epic Swiss scenery again on the pass). The landscape changed a lot once the pass was behind us – summer holiday vacation feeling is on! We got a spot for the camper…
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…
