After New Year's Eve at the Haldigrathütte, which we can wholeheartedly recommend. The food was incredibly delicious, and thanks to the fantastic weather, the atmosphere was simply indescribable 🤗👍. Breakfast was then enjoyed with the rising sun and a view of the Brisen. We then tackled it and truly

A wonderful hike up the Haldigrat on New Year's Eve. We were completely alone the whole way, so we could enjoy the views and the atmosphere undisturbed. The play of colors after sunset was more impressive than any fireworks display 🤗✨🚀

Only two single uplifts today, otherwise I'd be on the bike. Makes much more sense that way, although riding with other bikers and a guide also has its appeal. The downside is spending too much time in the car... 🤔

Today was another rollercoaster ride at its best. It's always an event 💪 At the end

Another wonderful day in Finale with challenging trails and great people. We're definitely raising the average age! 😇 The youngest was 17 today, and I can hardly believe it myself—62! 🤔 It's great when you can keep up with the guys! 💪 Unfortunately, we spent too much time in the Defender again today

Same as usual 🤗☀️

Just like last year, off to Finale after Christmas 💪

After a beautiful sunrise and a great breakfast at the herb hotel, we set off for the summit.



There were practically no people around, and the snow was nice and firm, providing excellent grip. This is what winter biking is all about. The view was, as always, stunning, and even more impressive with the

To escape the fog, we once again chose the Queen of the Mountains. Our destination was the Edelweiss Herb Hotel, where we had booked an overnight stay with a nine-course meal. The ascent, even with the e-bike, wasn't easy, but simply wonderful above the fog ☀️ The meal was definitely just as amazing

Incredible change from summer to winter. Just two days ago I was sweating on the trails in Cape Verde, today I'm already freezing on the Queen of the Mountains.

Not all the uphill sections were rideable, but the downhill was pure fun in the snow ☃️👍☀️

The absolute highlight of our trail adventures on Santiago Island. Pius, the manager of the King Fisher Village bike station, took us on an epic trail adventure. First, we took a shuttle to Serra Malagueta. Then, we climbed steeply at times on a forest road to the Malagueta ridge. E-bikes made for a

We were taken to Serra Malagueta National Park by shuttle. The tour began with a gentle up and down along a mountainside. The views were beautiful and the riding flowed smoothly. Initially quite cool with a lot of wind, but soon the temperatures became very pleasant. The trail was repeatedly interrupted
