Cycled up the long dead-end valley of the Vizze river. It is one of the several valleys leading into the wide Eisack valley near my base, the holiday town of Sterzing/Vipiteno. It starts slowly with a well lit tunnel (380m) but just before the half way point (from 4 to 9 km.) there is a steeper climb with some hairpin bends up to the Rieder Stausee. Then followed by long straight stretches of false flat with in my case a strong head wind, through small mountain villages with many farms. The ... read more

Cycled up the long dead-end valley of the Vizze river. It is one of the several valleys leading into the wide Eisack valley near my base, the holiday town of Sterzing/Vipiteno.
It starts slowly with a well lit tunnel (380m) but just before the half way point (from 4 to 9 km.) there is a steeper climb with some hairpin bends up to the Rieder Stausee. Then followed by long straight stretches of false flat with in my case a strong head wind, through small mountain villages with many farms.
The river is crossed several times but then stays on the right side of your route which is flanked in the wide valley on both sides by high snowy mountain chains. The last kilometres to the last inhabited houses of Stein/Sasso are very challenging, where the asphalt road stops just past Gasthof Stein.
MTB bikers can continue to the Passo Vizze (2251m) on the Italian/Austrian border.

Nice long warming-up without extremes!

Het lange doodlopende dal van de Vizze rivier op gefietst. Het is één van de verschillende dalen die uitmonden in het brede Eisacktall in de buurt van mijn uitval basis, vakantiestadje Sterzing/Vipiteno.
Rustig stijgend begin met in de aanvangsfase een goed verlichte tunnel (380m) maar vlak voor halfweg (van 4 tot 9 km.) is er steviger klimwerk met enkele haarspeldbochten tot de Rieder Stausee. Nadien gevolgd door lange rechte stukken vals plat met in mijn geval stevige dalwind op kop,door kleine bergdorpjes met veel boerderijen.
De rivier fiets je aanvankelijk enkele malen over maar blijft dan langs de rechterzijde van je route die in het brede dal langs beide kanten geflankeerd wordt door hoge besneeuwde bergketens. De slotkilometer naar de laatst bewoonde huizen van Stein/Sasso zijn zeer pittig alwaar de geasfalteerde weg stopt even voorbij Gasthof Stein.
MTBikers kunnen verder tot de Passo Vizze (2251m) op de grens Italië/Oostenrijk.

Mooie lange opwarmer zonder extremen!
