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 unnecessarily left it on the ascent, because the summit area is a real flow trail compared to the

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

Jura circuit on trails that can be ridden without fear of death even when it's moderately wet. Nevertheless, you have to ride carefully, because you're mostly on a ridge trail, where it usually drops steeply on one side.

*** According to our bus driver, the new cable car will be built in 2025, and will then open in 2026.***
Take the Laax Posta post bus (because there is space for bikes) to Nagens. Afterwards, an initially steep hike and bike tour via the lower Segnesboden over la Siala to the Fil de Casson. The uphill

Finally, near Aosta, a tour without smoking brakes. Long climb from the valley on roads with a pleasant gradient. At the end, 300 meters of elevation gain to the Point Chalinge. The trail towards Rifugio Chaligne is in my top 5 of the best trails. Mostly with a moderate gradient on the finest ground

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
