Day 5 - Canazei to Silandro

Canazei to Silandro
150 kilometers, 2000 meters vertical

After our breakfast we said goodbye to the resident taxidermy in the dining room (guess which one is the marmot)





Today was a transition day, where we basically made our way to the base of Stelvio Pass to the town of Silandro. We first had two moderate climbs, the first one involved some wet roads.



And more bicycle sculpture



We are down in the valley and after a quick lunch we wander off into a maze of Äpfel fields.



German is the dominant language here, first on the road signs, with Italian underneath. We then make our way up to a great bike path along a river and fly into town on it.





Great ride today. We were together all day. The kilometers flew by.

Two huge mountains tomorrow -Stelvio and Gavia.
