Short Description
In 2023, I participated in the legendary Dreiländergiro, tackling the exhilarating Nauders to Stelvio route and back. This epic adventure started in Nauders, where the crisp mountain air fueled my anticipation. The ride began with a scenic climb, weaving through lush landscapes and picturesque alpine villages. As I ascended the iconic Stelvio Pass, the serpentine roads challenged my stamina, but the breathtaking views of the Ortler Alps made every pedal stroke worth it.
Reaching the summit of Stelvio was a triumphant moment, surrounded by fellow cyclists sharing the same sense of achievement. After a brief rest, I began the thrilling descent, navigating the hairpin turns with exhilaration. The return journey to Nauders was a mix of adrenaline and sheer joy, reflecting on the incredible experience. Completing the race left me with unforgettable memories and a profound appreciation for this spectacular route.
