A real highlight at the end of my Valais trip – this tour is definitely one of my personal top ten most beautiful bike tours.
From Arolla, the trail initially climbed gently, with a few steeper climbs, up to an alpine pasture at 2,500 m. The rest of the ascent to the hut was mostly manageable, although

Third day in the Va d'Annivier – today, too, it's a 3,000-meter peak. Today we took the funicular from St-Luc to Tignuza. From there, it was about a 2.5-hour climb up several ramps into the ski area. Finally, we hiked and biked to the Bella Tola summit. The descent was mostly easy (including the summit

We took the post bus and gondola up to the Cornet de Sorbois. The first steep section began right at the mountain station, quickly forcing us to shoulder our bikes. From the pass, we set off on a groomed trail—ideal, as there were many hikers out and about, and we still had a lot to do. A pleasant, rideable

The first day was the introductory tour in the Val d'Anniviers, from Chandolin to the Illhorn. Unfortunately, I'd read that it wasn't worth carrying the bike to the summit—a mistake, as it turned out.

We were here several times around 30 years ago – back then, freeriding on skis, when the Haldigrat ski area still existed. Our last bike trip a few years ago, however, was rather sobering: The direct descent along the chairlift offered little flow and was more like a trials and cow pasture challenge

The tour started with a Garmin warning: slippery descent. I briefly considered doing the loop the other way around, but then decided to stick with the original plan.
The first section led along cart tracks and hiking trails toward La Selva. When the rocks became fist-sized, my slicks were a bit out of

First big ride with the Chiru Vagus – a dance of curves on the Costa Brava
After having already put my new gravel bike, the Chiru Vagus, to the test the day before on steep trails and challenging forest roads, today was the first big tour on the agenda. A local had told me that there were supposed to

Road bike ride to Val di Mello to check out the bouldering crags I'd like to visit the following day.
The route led along the wine route, skirting the hillside, before climbing steadily up into Val Masino. At the very end, in San Martino, Val di Mello branches off. The road quickly became a very rough
