Final Day: Bozen to Mieming On our last day of this amazing journey we are leaving Italy and, once again, taking on a big Alpine mountainpass, the Timmelsjoch. - Thank you all for the lovley time! Hope to see all of you again at some point. Day 7: Rest day in Bolzano A rest day is not the same as a no-ride day, so about half the group set out to discover the amazing roads of the Dolomites. Day 6: Val di Sole to Bozen On our way to Bozen we pass the Lago di Molveno, the Santuario di San Romedio and the last highlight of the day the Mendelpass.   Day 5: Lugano to Val di Sole Lago di Como is one of several beautiful lakes in northern Italy. Many celebrities have holiday mansions here. We crossed it by ferry, then followed the shore and headed towards the the next Italian province: Trentino. Since our hotel tonight has an impressive spa area we decided to go there right away... Day 4: Zermatt to Lugano After an early start and a trip to the Gornergrad, with the fist Train, we are leaving the impressive Swiss Alpes behind us. After a short trip through Italy we are back on swiss soil in Lugano at the beatiful "LuganoLake" Day 3: Brunnen to Zermatt Day 2: Pontresina to Brunnen To day we are tacking on the Albulapass and the Oberalppass. With some very senic roads in-between. Day 1: Mieming to Pontresina On the Ultimate Alps Tour we dive right in: Stelvio, the Queen of Alpine Roads and its 87 tight switchbacks are like a warm-up lap for what's to come.
