Delicious food and good homemade drinks. The ascent from Merano up to the Alm is tough, but sitting on the terrace makes up for it.

Everything is dry up to 1350m, then up to the Leiter Alm Schneeweg ❄ but very easy to drive. Descent on brilliant climbs in many hairpin bends 🤩 down to Vellau and further on a beautiful trail 🥳 to Plars.
There are many hikers on these trails, especially in spring and autumn, so good time management and respectful behavior .... …

A worthwhile, sunny tour even in winter! Only on the last 200m of snow path... because of the high temperatures, the snow was softened and therefore difficult to drive🥵. The warm sun today 🫠 was almost reminiscent of spring! Descent on a beautiful path directly down to Oberplatzer, very easy to ride despite snow and a few icy spots. Now …

October 11, 2024,Leiter Alm ☀️ - genial...sehr technisch 🤩

Quick afternoon tour. The climbs from the Leiteralm are all very worthwhile. I tried the 22A today... brilliant! Strong nerves, technically good riders will have fun 🤩.... ideal training route with numerous tricky sections... to try until you get it right, so plan extra time🤣.... but be careful, there are also sections that don't allow for experiments with unclear outcomes, …

While it's raining at home, off to Vinschgau... The mountain peaks are already white and it's really cool. But eventually the sun even came out a little...

Started in Algund on the Etsch (at a fun pump track) and cycled up some beautiful bends on the Etsch cycle path.
