Even a normal day like today includes about 600m of pushing on this tour (which already shows that the 290m indication today is not correct - it should have been around 1100m) - but almost no carrying. Just riding uphill without bad weather would be boring :-)
As I approach the Flüela Pass, I realize

At breakfast, you can already see that it will rain today. The last 2 days I had outrageous luck, but the "southern influence of the weather" was kind to me.
Around 8 a.m. it goes down into the valley on a fine S2 - I think you say "made my day". The evening route change turned out to be excellent. I

NICHT NACHFAHREN mit dem MTB !! Das ist eigentlich eher eine WANDERUNG !

The route today is actually for hikers - taking MTBs along is very strenuous. So today I'm setting a new MTB pushing+carrying record, which wasn't my goal at all: 750m of pushing + 750m of CARRYING (!!).
The landscape I hiked through is a dream and absolutely lonely - so far so good.
But when you also

I love Switzerland. Perhaps also because it is so staid and correct.
The bus 182 departs at 10:00:00. The bus driver sets my derailleur to the smallest cog and smilingly tells me that several derailleurs have already broken because the derailleur cage was pointing vertically downwards - in the BUS bicycle

1 x Weißensee
Ein Pflichtbesuch der Verwandschaft in Villach eröffnet die Möglichkeit durch andere Berge zu radeln. Das ist der praktische Nebeneffekt von solchen Besuchen :-)
So haben wir den Weißensee im Kopf der im Winter ein großartiges Eislaufeldorado ist mit kilometerlanger, präparierter Eislaufrunde.
Im Sommer präsentiert sich der See allerdings ganz anders…

The Weißensee is best enjoyed with a SUP, especially at these temperatures. Finn and I were there a few years ago and paddled around. There was no ban or anything on the water. Have fun today at the 60th party

So today is bike-day WITHOUT CAR in the Dolomites – something you naturally can't miss. We start the tour in Sesto directly from our wonderful accommodation (sportony).
It's a cheerful, illustrious company that pedals up and down on all sorts of bicycles, spread across the entire road. The vast majority

Scenically, today was a real Dolomite cracker - incredible landscape - speaks for itself. The detour to the hopelessly overcrowded Lake Misurina with a view of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo is also worthwhile.
As yesterday, an interesting mix of clouds gathered in the afternoon, from which a little rain also

Today it is hot. Really hot. 40°C - that is "zovello" = too much in the local language - whatever that may be. The start of a climb then becomes a sauna. Up high, it's always fine.
The first pass is not a highlight and among all the Austrians who kindly overtake us, THE Italian in the car immediately

After the rest day, we can continue.
The Pustertal is beautiful to ride with the RR (road bike) as there is always an asphalt cycle path.
At some point, you turn off to the Staller Sattel, which we only ride because several people on Komoot have described it as particularly "worth riding". And so it is

From the spot by the stream to the ultra-premium cafe & cake. Cycling with locals from Meran not only takes you over very fine hidden paths towards Muggelsee but also to a fabulous cafe. Its cake selection would surely leave even @oidawolf speechless with awe.
The Muggelsee itself is a bit overcrowded

Today I was so busy with the beautiful route and happy cycling that I forgot to take photos.
A completely traffic-free ascent over 1000 hm for breakfast/picnic above the Ultental.
When you get to Lana in the Pfitscher valley it is hot. Meran too.
After K&K it goes towards Prad back to the car. This was

After an excellent breakfast, up to the Gavia Pass. Down the back, I only know the S3 trail for the full suspension bike so far as part of our Transalp - a top-class MTB trail! - is that right @Artur - the road is almost just as exciting. Often single-track and drops 2000m.
To the Passo totale there

Just the day before yesterday, on Thursday, as the cake seller at the very top of the Stilfser Joch showed me on her mobile phone, there was 10 cm of snow on her car.
Today everything is green and it's possible to ride from Prad at the start all the way to the top (2760 m) in short sleeves and shorts

On the way from South Tyrol to Bavaria, on the right and left, there are a few very fine trails - meaning no forest road rolling, but exciting descents that demand attention. Like the Giggelberg.
The evening before my ascent, the mountains, where I wanted to go, were green. In the morning, it was white

A "RIDE" ride is always exciting. So was today. It started at 5:15 AM in Davos - where it's beautiful. At that time of day, there's fantastic peace and air - e.g. the mown hay along the 800m ascent to the Strelapass - the last 250 vertical meters you have to ..... push because it's too steep.
Then you
