I wonder where the trail is? Late autumn mountain bike tour
Просмотров 386Год назад
November is my least favorite month of the year. In the northern part of Switzerland where I live, the typical weather is wet, cold and dark. Snow makes a lot of bike tours difficult or even impossible, but there is usually not enough snow for skiing and similar activities. But there is hope: The Alps often act as a weather barrier. So a two hour train ride takes me from the pouring rain to the...

Today I ride in St. Moritz in the Engadin region of Switzerland. St. Moritz is known to mountain bikers for it’s great flow trails on the Corviglia mountain.

I hauled my mountain bike over the Kistenpass, a high and remote mountain pass in the Swiss Alps that is only accessible by foot or on a mountain bike. After a strenuous uphill with lots of pushing the bike, I was rewarded with a fantastic landscape and awesome single trails down the other side. Most of the descent was steep and technical trails, bringing me to the limit of what I feel comforta...
The best Mountain Bike tour in Zermatt?
Просмотров 17 тыс.2 года назад
As the crowning glory of my mountain bike vacations in Zermatt, I do an evening ride from the Gornergrat down to Zermatt. In my opinion, this is one of the best tours Zermatt has to offer. While there are many hikers during the day, there is hardly anyone on the trail in the evening. The descent is a total of 1400 meters. On the Gornergrat you are surrounded by an incredible panorama of glacier...

The ride has to be hard earned however since reaching the starting point (The mountain pass "Furcletta") requires considerable effort. I had the privilege to ride this amazing trail in the evening sun, and really enjoyed the special atmos...
