Thursday, June 23, 2022 | Harald Pramhofer | Europe

Alps Extreme without compromises
the first one of 2022, but of course not the last one

day 0 - Riding School, introduction to a new world

Cows on the roof, cows on the road, but we could find a way through
the end of the valley, but not the end of the world
best view, best lunch, just the best of everything
sometimes you can hear the bungee jumpers screaming (650 feet)

day 1 - starting with rain into the mountains

rain gear on
but not chilly
discussion, should we go?
at least we were the only braves
men at work
benefit at the end - sun

day 2 - Stelvio is waiting

short stop on Swiss ground
the church tower in the lake - Lago Resia
Coffee stop im Glorenza before ascending Stelvio Pass
summit

day 3 - Penegal to Levico

at Linger Malga we met Christians group riding the Academy
celebrating Gampen Pass victory
Molveno picture stop
Limoncello after dinner in Levico

day 4 - Lake Garda

viewing platform on "Kaiserjägersteig" (old military road from WW1)
Igor
Philip
Paul
Jean-Luc
taking a short breath on Passo Bordola
after 2 years of maintenance the "James Bond Road" opened - Strada Della Forra
not everybody knew - one way only
built in 1913 - the river needed a new tunnel to make way for the street
Lunch on the "Terrace of Fear"
View from terrace - Campione

day 5 - through the Dolomites

this truck on "Passo Manghen" stopped our plans
after the unexpected detour - Pizza for lunch, what else?
Passo Duran - Coffee stop
Staulanza Pass
Misurina group picture
Dobiaccio - hotel view back into the Dolomites
