Good work
Sounds like hard work... But looks absolutely Awesome!
As my daughter would say "living the dream" ...
To coin a popular phrase: "Well jel"
Nice pics. 8)
And you ride all that on a hardtail? Respect!

It is Dialed Alpine if I'm not mistaken, that's what it's made for. Pretty much perfect for those trails.
Bang tidy. 🙂
I like your socks.
^^ cheers... they match my shoes 🙂
yup, hardtail... Fähigkeiten statt Federweg. some huys doing a photo shoot up on Stilfserjoch were also quite impressed.
wehat is "well jel"?
Bei mir laueft's gleichzeitig Faehigkeit und Federung! 😆
Never thought I'd say this but that looks... Epic.
Ah the Goldseeweg. Bit of a guddun that. Did you ride anywhere else in Sudtirol? There looks to be a tonne of potential around the Vinischgau valley, plus I think they have a trail center type thing in there?
Goldseeweg is good, yes. but the trail from Glurnser Alm is the icing on the cake!
i've ridden lots in Süd Tirol. when i guide (only one tour this year) my tours take me through the whole of the region from north to south. fantastic region, especially around Fanes Alm/Marmolada and some of the trails around Bozen.
but, IMO, Vinschgau is a little bit more special. many of the trail-heads are accessable via relatively easy, not too steep clmibs, the trails are really varied from GF-friendly (the [url= http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waal_%28Bew%C3%A4sserung%29 ]Waalwegs[/url], for example) to don't-tell-mum type riding with everything inbetween. but, most importantly it has its own mini micro-climate and is one of the sunniest spots in the northern Alps and recieves very little rainfall. the day after it rained the trails were bone dry as the ground soaks it up. even in he depths of winter it rarely snows below 1000m in the valley.
yes there is a small network of well sign-posted trails, each graded according to the Single-Trail Skala ( http://www.singletrail-skala.de/). but the rest of the trails are also well sign posted and are open to bikes unless stated otherwise via an obvious "no bike" sign.
i'm already planning next years trip 🙂
