I rode through the Alps this summer with Sushita and in this video I’ll be sharing some breathtaking scenes from some of the most picturesque mountains in the world. We will ride a few famous trails from Austria to Italy and spend a few days in the incredible Dolomites.
If you want to check the route out, I have .gpx files available here: https://www.bikingplaces.com/routes
Leave a comment if you’ve been to the Alps on a bike and if you recommend any other routes, I’m sure I’ll be back to see more of the mountains. If you enjoy what you saw and want to support the channel you can buy me a coffee here: https://buymeacoffee.com/bikingplaces .

Great trip, great video!
Beautiful video, beautiful narration. I’ve watched all your videos and wish they come more often. Regarding the airlines, have you considered Singapore airlines? They have 23 kgs x 2 as check in luggage and consider sport equipment including cycles as one check in luggage, so long as it fits the dimensions mentioned which most bike boxes do. This saves on additional luggage charges.
Holy cow, we froze at Nauders when we got caught in a rainstorm there. We went from T-shirts at Martina to bundling everything we had there. The rain felt like icicles as we cycled through.
Hello.🌞
Your cycling trip looks like a fun, fulfilling adventure amidst beautiful scenery. 😊
I'm so jealous.🚲️🗻

German here: If you want to avoid any pass crossing the alps, go from Innsbruck to Landeck and then head to St. Moritz along the Inn river.
Go down the Maloja pass and after 50 km you arrive at the Lake Como
Guys I like the new
A very nice video and your observations regarding public transport are remarkably accurate! Too bad about the weather though.
Beautiful video, I have two practical questions:
Where did you store the bike boxes/bags in Milano during your trip?
You left your bikes with tons of bikepacking bags/panniers behind for several hours on several occasions (hikes, cable cars, etc.) – how did you protect all that stuff? (It's not Japan, stuff gets stolen…)
Wonderful work on the video and content. We loved that part of Italy and hope to return next year. We went on a hiking trip in May of 2024 and experienced good weather. Although some lifts we not open yet for the summer season, and there was still snow on the ground on some of the trails we hiked. Thanks for bring back great memories of the Dolomites!
Hi!
Thank you for the very interesting and atmospheric video!
What month did you do this trip and how long did it take?
Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed your fantastic journey. I have a plan to bike around the Alps next year and am thinking of flying in Milan, too. Would you share your itinerary that will be a great help for me to plan? Oh never mind. I just found what you put down but any advice would be welcomed. Thx!
HI..Thanks for the perfect video..Thumbs UP
Please just stay away. The alps are drowning in tourists
Such a beautiful part of Europe to explore by bicycle.
Love the video. I spent a week in the Dolomites in 2021 hiking and biking around the Sella Ronda. It's so easy to take bus or train to neighboring valleys. Good food and friendly people (I was solo so really enjoyed meeting locals).
Thx for taking me through memorylane. I road a lot of those path back in 2018
Thanks for giving such an informative commentary. What a great trip.
Marvelous video, thanks for sharing
Wow, having found your video about the cameras you use, I now stumble upon this one.
It's been particularly useful as some friends and I are cycling Italy Top to Toe next Spring and the information about the train was very welcome. I think I'll be travelling up from Rome by train.
I'm really interested in seeing Brennero now, as that looks like a beautiful town to start.
Brilliant channel.
Where did you sleep ? You have reservation in advance or you find an hostel while on the road ?
Nice one! If the trip was around August that would (in part) explain why it was expensive, it's super high-season. Especially in the Dolomites best time to go is June, July or even September.
Beautiful views and great explanations of the various aspects of your ride. I have done the Munich to Venice friendship trail, it was similar in beauty. Thanks for sharing.
