Simone

Hi Simone, thanks, please send me your address, regards Alex

In the morning we decide to 'shoot' home. It's still 160km to Vorarlberg, so it's hardly worth staying another night.

Let's go! A small climb to the border crossing and again briefly up to the Bernina Pass. Another real highlight in terms of landscape.

An unknown racing cyclist joins us for the 30km descent

A day in a class of its own!!

We almost circle the Stilfserjoch before we climb it. Finally! I've really wanted to climb up there on my racing bike for a long time!! Incredibly beautiful. Wow!

The descent to Bormio is also awesome, especially with two people with slipstream and high speed, I love that

The ascent to the Flüela Pass starts directly in Davos, it's super easy to drive, maybe that's also because of the hikers who call out to me from the distance, whistling and cheering. A few drivers also cheer me on as I drive past. After only 1.5 hours I'm already on the other side, in Susch. There today

From Chiavenna we continue into the valley, steadily uphill, through small, rustic villages towards the Maloja Pass. Surprisingly, this is achieved quickly and is much shorter than expected.

At the top of the pass I meet two Italians in whose slipstream I hung myself the day before after we met at least

I have a long day ahead of me, so I'm starting early. Of course, I have to return the little “detour” to the lake today - an extra hour. Mostly on the bike path but often through small towns. There is still little traffic, but it is still annoying.

Then the valley finally begins towards the San Bernadino

On the fourth day I only plan on one pass, but I want to go swimming in Lake Maggiore in the afternoon - a day of rest, so to speak.

The climb to the Lukmanier Pass is super beautiful and leads through small towns. Unfortunately you have to go through the tunnel at the top of the pass.

After what feels

Day 3: After less than a kilometer the climb to the Nufenen Pass begins. Early in the morning there are hardly any people out and about apart from a few racing cyclists, so you can enjoy the peace and quiet even in midsummer. Then we continue straight to the famous Gotthard Pass. The pictures have fascinated
