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…
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…
Kronplatz – MTB Enduro Tour
After a stormy night – 3450 lightnings were counted over Southern Tyrol – we got up not too late to start for the enduro tour that I found on the WWW -> Enduro Tour St. Lorenzen. We climbed a bit more than 900 height meters without any decent with an average percentage gradient of around 10%,…
Kronplatz – Hike around St. Lorenzen
Hiking was on the schedule for today. As there were no hiking routes suggested in the WWW around the camp site, we created our own route using outdooractive.com. It was super hot today, so we felt like melting walking up the hill at the beginning of the track. Entering the forest trail was a relief….
Kronplatz – Camping Ansitz Wildberg – Day 1
We arrived in Sankt Lorenzen yesterday, after a super quick stop in Innsbruck, where we mainly just walked around the old town centre close to the river Inn and had some lunch. Today it was about to explore the downhill / freeride offerings at Kronplatz. What a view from Kronplatz on the Dolomites! This is…
Sölden Bike Republic – Day 2
Perfect weather today – sunny, warm and dry. We decided to buy another half day ticket today, as we wouldn’t be able to ride a whole day downhill anyhow. My arms, back and shoulders are already hurting from yesterday. We started the downhill fun with the Nene trail, even if rated as difficult we were…
Sölden Camping & Bike Republic – Day 1
So after a long drive to Sölden, we have spent our first night in a camper van at Camping Sölden. Unfortunately the weather forgot that we are on our summer vacation right now, and has welcomed us in Austria with rain and fog. During the night it was around 5°C outside, suprisingly I did not freeze…
