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…

How to fall in love with Zermatt
We planned to stay 2 nights in Zermatt, while I am writing this post we are spending our forth one in Täsch, Camping Alphubel, close to Zermatt. Zermatt and the surrounding mountains are simply so beautiful and fascinating that we had to stay longer to explore more of this special location. A mecca for MTB…
Finale Ligure – Camping Tahiti – Day 5 // Nato base uphill, Crestino and Super Groppo lower trail

Schlanders – Camping Vogelsang – Day 2

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

Once arrived in Schlanders on Camping Vogelsang, we managed to set up…
