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

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?
