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

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…
Caravanpark Sexten – Day 1 – Via ferrata Croda Rossa di Sesto
As we brought our via ferrata equipment along and the mountain weather conditions were said to be perfect for the next day, we started our Sexten experience with the Via ferrata Croda Rossa di Sesto. We packed our backpacks in the evening and decided to take the first bus at 8 AM to the cable car…
Transfer Day to Sexten
It was transfer day and a Sunday at the same time – and summer vacation has just started in Italy. As the distance to our next stop was only 1 hour of driving, we wanted to get some action done on our way to Sexten. First stop was at Climbing Park Toblach but it was so crowded…
