Day 3 brought us back to Italy one more time. Today the weather god adhered strictly to the borders: while Austria was a little bit grey today, Italy greeted us with plenty of sunshine! After having lunch in Germany and Switzerland, we had lunch in Andreas Hofer's ...

Today held the ultimate Alpine challenge for us: the Stelvio Pass. 48 switchbacks needed to be mastered before we reached the top at 2757 meters. Everybody made it up the mountain - and then the weather turned bad. The first rain drops of the tour hit us ...
