Fabulous trip to the Austrian/Italian Alps

Post by omg1010 »

I'd like to share a fabulous riding experience to the Austrian/Italian Alps (Dolomites). I have spent one week there with a friend of mine (who rides a Ducati ST2). We covered a total of 2600 kms from/to Frankfurt in Germany and were lucky to have fabulous weather conditions.

Day 1 Frankfurt-Lake constance, o/n
Day 2 via Fluela Pass (2383 m), Ofenpass (2149 m), Passo Stelvio (2758 m) to Edolo in Italy, o/n
Day 3 via Passo di Tonnale (1883 m) to Bolzano (here I had to change one of my mirrors) and onto Rasun di Sotto where we had a booked a hotel for 4 nights (http://www.koflerhof.com/)
Day 4 daytrip via Passo Gardena (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categ ... uselang=en) and Passo Sella (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sellajoch), Pordoijoch (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pordoijoch) and Valparolapass (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categ ... arola_Pass)
Day 5 daytrip via Furkelsattel (1759 m), Passo di Falzarego (2117 m), Passo di Giau (2230 m) to Cortina d'Ampezzo and back via Passo Cimabanche (1529 m)
Day 6 daytrip via Kreuzbergpass (1636 m), Passo San Antonio (1476 m), Sant Angelo Pass (1756 m), Drei Zinnen road at 2400 m (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drei_Zinnen)
Day 7 departure via Vitipeno, Jaufenpass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaufenpass), Timmelsjoch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timmelsjoch) to Fuessen in Tirol
Day 8 return back to Frankfurt

This area is a must for anybody riding in Europe!

I lived in Bregenz, Austria right on Lake Constance (Bodensee) for about 6 months back in "the day". I truly envy you this trip! What a beautiful place.

Wow, what scenery. Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm not sure which I like more: the secenery or the custom bike.
I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray...
