Successful author Ulrich Stanciu has researched and developed 20 new Alpine crossings over the past ten years and tested dozens of alternatives in many regions, so that the entire Transalp network now covers over 16,000 kilometres.
The 20 Transalp tours in this book offer the right tour for every biker - from very easy pleasure tours with less than 5,000 metres of altitude difference to fascinating tours with up to 20,000 metres of altitude difference that are demanding in terms of fitness and riding technique. The book also picks up on the new trend towards multi-day round tours - it offers three multi-day round tours in the heart of the most beautiful Alpine regions. A special highlight are two Alpine crossings from west to east.
Stanciu's texts describe the tours precisely and are packed with useful information and historical and cultural background. The photos are breathtaking, the exact altitude profiles, the tour data with difficulty rating and the satellite maps provide precise information about the course of the tours. The detailed service section has been updated and contains all the advice you need to plan and organise a Transalp tour.
The highlight of the new Transalp book is the interactive planning system, with which every reader can put together their own personalised crossing of the Alps. The accompanying DVD now contains a much more advanced and very convenient programme for planning tours, including satellite images of the Alps.
However, the database with all tours is no longer stored on this data carrier, but on the Internet. As soon as a user has installed the programme on their PC and is connected to the Internet, the database is transferred to the computer. This has the decisive advantage that this database can be updated at any time, that the reader can download new tours, sections or route changes at any time and thus update their tours.
As before, the new Transalp book includes road books with arrow symbols and altitude profiles with information on the terrain. The GPS data can also be downloaded for a small fee from the website www.bike-gps.com acquire.
