It was cold when we started our day in Pontresina this morning, only 2.5°C, but it quickly warmed up and the sky turned blue. We had amazing roads, dark tunnels, gorgeous views, cheap gas and chocolate, tight corners, dense fog, tasty burgers for lunch, so to sum it all up: it was a great day.

How do you pack the Alps into a four-day ride? Well, you don't. You just select the best spots, or - even better - have Edelweiss select them for you. Five young guys from Bangalore did just that and we took them from Seefeld/Tyrol/Austria (where it was raining) to Bolzano/South Tyrol/Italy (where the sun was shining). Day 2 took us to Passo dello Stelvio and on to Switzerland.
