Getting to the top of the Gavia there is a spectacular mountainview. It was about 6 degrees in the snow. The descent was just as good with lots of hairpin curves thru the trees.

Arriving at the summit we ran into Tom who we had also seen at the top of the Gavia the day before!

We were blessed today with spectacular sunshine, warmth despite the 1.5 degrees, and almost no traffic for the epic ride.

While we were waiting for the plastics we took in one of the local chair lifts and an amazing Austrian traditional lunch. Daniel’s schnitzel was as big as his head. He had borrowed Michel’s electric bike to ride back down the mountain and up the valley to the house, while the rest of us walked cross-country down the very steep ski runs.

We packed up to leave Rizlern early and in brisk but clear weather. Today we will meet up with a fellow rider Tragoutt, who has been following our blog and planning his own trip from BA to Alaska.

Tragoutt is also from Austria, but on the other side of the mountain. This is only about 10 km as the crow flies, but takes almost 2 hours to drive around. We planned to meet at the top of the Furkapass at Charly’s kiosk.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
