New Transalp award Scott Attack


Last year, organisers tried to not only honour the fastest three teams of all categories each day but also to set a spot light on two riders who stood out due to a special manoeuvre or helping hand. This fairness price will be replaced by Scott Attack this year, a special award for the team with the best combative spirit. more »

Special training weeks for women in Fuessen


While pedalling on your favourite trail you might get the impression that women – in comparison to men – have the same lust for downhills as well as extreme and demanding technical challenges combining their joy for riding with ambition but not – unlike their male pendants – with performance pressure.

Val Gardena also in 2010 with nice bike offer

The winter in Andalo brings two real highlights


Those who have thought of Andalo, our long-time Transalp partner, as a sole summer specialist have erred.

This winter, the ski resort also attracts many snow fans with two extraordinary tidbits: the World Alpine Rockfest – Paganella Ski providing a record price money of € 100.000 and a performance of Placebo as well as the Paganella Family Festival, a „white week“ with tons of special attractions for families. more »
