Day 7 - Riding Day - Livigno - Seefeld in Tirol

Our last riding day started in Livigno and soon we headed into Switzerland, which awaited us with blue sky and sunshine. After riding over the Bernina and the Ofenpass, we entered Italy again, just to leave it right after the Reschenpass. After we took a "gachen Blick" (steep view) we enjoyed our last 100 km of riding in the alps, before we returned the bike at the Edelweiss Headquarters right in Mieming.

Bernina Pass - Switzerland

What is this doing in there?

Whatever, let´s get a picture in front of Reschen lake.

And by the way, we also had a live Alphorn concert right at the lake.

How should we do it?

No we have it perfect - at Gacher Blick in Tyrol, Austria. A happy group of bikers.

Day 6 - Riding Day - Riva del Garda - Livigno

Riding up Passo Stelvio in fog looks like visiting a ghost town...

Done it! Being on top of the highest pass of Italy !

Day 5 - Rest-Day with a short ride around Lake Garda, Lake Ledro and Lake Idro

Today, we were visiting Lake Legro, Lake Idro and rode back to Lake Garda. The weather was fantastic, the roads were nearly empty and the curves were breathtaking.

The backyards of Lake Garda are beautiful and hide quite some treasures.

A bunch of happy people above Lake Garda

Getting ready for the next great day in South Tyrol.

Today we are entering Italy, coming from East-Tyrol, Austria. Our plan is, to go via 5 mountain passes and having lunch way up in the clouds at a mountain peak. The weather looks good and the people are ready to ride.

Adventure awaits us.

The daily briefing, everybody is looking forward to entering the Dolomites.
