Whether you hike or take a bike - a transalpine tour is always something special despite its current on-trend status. In winter, however, an alpine crossing with skies is a lonely adventures with magnificent deep snow downhill runs. The idea: In five days from the wintery northern side of the Alps to the spring of Mediterranean Meran and its palm trees.
