Where do you ride with your bike?

It's a common question from our cycling guests staying at our Ustaria Posta during their cycle holiday in the Dolomites.

Of course they don't refer at the roads from our house heading south to the Dolomites Passes but to the roads going north direction Brunico from where you can ride other fantastic Passes like the Passo delle Erbe (Würzjoch), Passo Furcia (Furkelpass) or the beautiful cycling path in the Pusteria valley.

Especially cycling north you can do terrific cycling loops like the Passo delle Erbe one:

So what about the question?
Traveling towards our valley by car most of our cycling guests are passing through 6 tunnels on the Val Badia road. But if you are on your bike, you don't need to pass through them. The old road is still practicable and that's where we go every day we train on our roads. So that's why we did a little timelapse video to show you this hidden spot:

Is spring arriving? The first spring 'guests' yes!

Honestly we can't call them guests. They where for sure here long before us. Maybe we are the intruders, especially when we are ruining their habitat. On the back of our Ustaria Posta we have a lot Rowan trees that in ladin language we call Manëster and the name of the fruits in ladin is pomacia. Exactly this is the first food that this birds eat when arriving and flying into the Dolomites after they migrated in warmer places during the first winter months. This is the utility of this bunch of fruits that grow on rowan trees and are inedible for us humans.

Like every year, the first birds to arrive are the Tits that in storms of 30-40 units fly from tree to tree to eat the pomacia.

Look at the pictures that we took and try to count how many there are on just a little part of a tree.
