ALPEN MASTER HISTORY (ENGLISH VERSION)

A few years ago, during one of my trips I met a German biker, who explain me one of  most beautiful and spectacular outputs performed by hisBavarian group of friends, when they were able to escape a work week, they called ALPEN MASTER, consisted in perform a bike tour, the twelve points higher in the Alps as soon as possible and could not ride before eight in the morning or after eight o'clock.Depending on the route we choose we can do more or less miles, but we always made an impressive route from 2500 to 3500 km in the unique alpine area where you have 150 to 200,000 guaranteed curves of all types and for all tastes, summarizing some in what we all dreamed of.The idea of ​​complete it one day was something that haunted me for a long time and one day prepare it all with support of my wife, I decided to join the group of those who anonymously, no prizes, no cups, no trophy, completing one of the special routes will never forget, THE MASTER ALPEN, and was from then that each year I take a week off to ride alone the Alps in either direction.The points to join with our bike are the following:

    Ötztal -2845 -2802 strasse Col de la Bonette -2770 -2757 Col de l'Iseran Stelvio pass

    Rombo pass -2509-2513-2505 Col du Raspaillon Umbrail Hochtor-2501 pass.These are the twelve highest points where you can ride on road, off road you can climb to higher altitudes, some of the most beautiful areas are off road in the valley of Susa in particular in the Col delle Finestrelles and the rise to peak of Sommeiller.

Back on the road, we have the little eight with made up of high hills, as precious as can be the Nufenen, the St Gothard and others, but this other great and wonderful journey will be discussed in another article later.Of course you can not use the motorways, I have done no motorway from Tarragona and back and this year again, the feeling is indescribable and unforgettable.
