Territory: The Dolomites

No mountain range is like the Dolomites. So beautiful. So majestic. So marvellous. We went trail hunting and say: you should put these five tours on your to-do list.

The €500 bet with celebrity Korbi Engstler

Rough journeyman: The 601

The Sentiero 601 on Lake Garda was the epitome of a freeride trail for many years. A much-loved horror descent. We also loved the 601. Still do? We tried out the Lago classic again after it had become flow-damaged.

Be Free! Freerider in the test

Enduro has overtaken freeride. Yet the freeride spirit is so wonderfully free of rules and FREE pressure to perform. We tested five bikes for freeride suitability.
Bikes on test: Giant Reign SX, Norco Shore A1, Pole Ikkelä Express, Radon Swoop 10.0 HD, Santa Cruz Nomad GX AXS.
