Biking through the Alps 6: Pens-Innsbruck

Datum:
30.08.1998
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
7:30h
Entfernung:
81,7km

The last, sixth day of this one-week bike-trip through the Alps in Südtirol should bring us over the impressive Penserjoch (at 2200mosl) and then, via Sterzing and the Brenner, to Innsbruck, where we had planned to conclude our trip. We first cycled the roughly 800 height-meters up to Penserjoch in a little less than two hours, enjoying our last pass over 2000mosl, before continuing further northwards. What followed, was a long and fast descent down to Sterzing (at about 930mosl), from where we headed further towards the Brenner (minor pass at about 1365mosl). This brought us also back to Austria. From there, we basically "just" did a long descent towards Innsbruck (about 40km), where we arrived at about 4pm in the afternoon. All in all, this six days long bike trip through >>>

Biking through the Alps 5: Kastelruth-Pens

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
68,4km

Day 5 of this multi-day bike-trip through the Alps in Südtirol should bring us first to Bozen and then, from there, northwards into the vicinity of the Penserjoch, another big goal on this trip. Cycling mostly downwards, we rapidly approached Bozen from Kastelruth and found ourselves as low as 275mosl there! :-) Clearly, we had no plans to stay in the low-lands for long, so we continued towards the north after a short break. Due to a little mishap, reading the map, we first took a road, however, which did not really bring us into the right valley! In fact, we really had to get down (almost all the way), again, before we could change to the right route, "dropping" about one hour for this detour. Then, however, everything was clear and we started a long ascent (not so very steep, >>>

Biking through the Alps 4: Caprile-Kastelruth

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
11:30h
Entfernung:
66,5km

Day 4 of this multi-day bike-trip through the Alps in Südtirol should include two major passes, i.e., Passo di Fedaia (2060mosl) and Sellajoch (2245mosl), with a significant dip in between! We started from Caprile at about 8:30 in the morning, heading straight towards Passo di Fedaia in the west. About three hours later, we arrived at the saddle, right next to the majestic Marmolada in the south. On the other side, towards west, we then descended very quickly to Canazei (at about 1500mosl), reaching top-speed of over 60km/h (lots of fun, but also risky). From there, we started our biggest ascent on this day (to Sellajoch) and about two hours later, we actually arrived on this high saddle in amazingly beautiful mountain landscape! What followed was mostly a long descent, first into the >>>

Biking through the Alps 2: Defereggen-Misurina

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
9:00h
Entfernung:
81,6km

Day 2 of this multi-day bike-trip through the Alps should bring us from Austria to Südtirol, Italy. To do so, we had the plan to cross the 2040m high Stallersattel, coming from Defereggen. About two hours after having started in Bruggen (at about 1315mosl), we arrived at Stallersattel and enjoyed the beautiful mountain landscape there with satisfaction. :-) What followed, was a fast and long descent into the Antholzer valley (southwest of Stallersattel and already in Südtirol, Italy). At about noon-time, we were down at about 1000mosl, again, and turned left into the Pustertal (basically towards the east!). After a relatively short stretch in this comparably busy valley, we turned right, again (into southern direction), entering the Pragser valley with the plan to cycle up to Plätzwiesen >>>
