The Sella Ronda is one of those world renowned but slightly mysterious ski circuits – but no one ever quite explains what it actually is, and indeed how good you have to be to be able to complete it. Music: © Barney & Izzi Hardy
Bei Schi fahren und bei Schigebieten, denkt man vielleicht nicht sofort an Italien. Dabei sollte man unbedingt auch einmal den Blick nach Südtirol wagen. Schifahren in den Dolomiten – es kann nichts Schöneres geben. In Südtirol gibt es 46 verschiedene Schigebiete und man kann sich auf 1.250 Pistenkilometer freuen! Einige Highlights und wunderbare Möglichkeiten, um das spektakuläre Bergpanorama zu genießen sind eindeutig: Sella Ronda, Gran Risa, Gebirgsjäger Runde und Marmolada. Eigentlich hört Sara zu dieser Zeit im Jahr die Piste immer schon sehr laut rufen. Derzeit sind Schierlebnisse zwar nicht möglich, aber mit zahlreichen tollen Tipps und ein paar lustige Anekdoten möchten wir uns in dieser Folge gemeinsam ins Winterwunderland träumen. Tante belle cose, Sara & Alessandra Blogpost zur Folge: https://www.italienfuerdieohren.at/schi-erlebnisse-dolomiten/ Du hast Fragen, Anregungen oder Lust auf noch mehr Dolce Vita?

In deze wintersport resort podcast bespreken Kristy en Rene een gebied waar beide verliefd op zijn geworden en welke bij Rene zelfs op nummer in in zijn favorieten lijst staat, Val Gardena in Sud . Het gebied dat bij vele wintersporters bekend is door de Sella Ronda, de wereldberoemde tocht waarbij je rondom het Sella massief skiet. Maar ook zonder Sella Ronda heeft Val Gardena een mooi skigebied met in een schitterend landschap met geweldig eten. Meer informatie over Val Gardena? Check dan onze website! https://www.wintersport.nl/skigebieden/valgardena Heb je zelf ook een skigebied wat je besproken wil hebben in de wintersport podcast? Laat het ons weten in de comments!

Die "Sella Ronda" in den Dolomiten, also die Umrundung des Sellastocks auf Skipisten, ist sehr bekannt und zuweilen auch überlaufen. Doch es gibt eine spannende historische Alternative: die "Tour della Grande Guerra".
Val Gardena kuuluu maailman suurimpaan hiihtoalueeseen. Siellä lasketaan alppihiihdon maailmancupin kisoja, ja se tunnetaankin lumivarmuudestaan. Val Gardenassa on jopa oma kieli. Kokeneempien laskijoiden kannattaa siellä vieraillessa kiertää Sella Ronda -laskureitti, jota kiertäessä näkee useamman kylän.
1). Begrüßung Wir sagen Hallo und fangen direkt an. ----- 2.) Rio 2016 Was halten wir von dem Parcours des olympischen Straßenrennen. ----- 3.) Wie war unser Sommer Markus radelt in der Heimat (https://www.strava.com/activities/633418077/overview) und war im Urlaub an der Ostsee, campen pro und contra, Christian am Luganer See (https://www.strava.com/activities/641030943), ist die Sella Ronda gefahren (https://www.strava.com/activities/644178222) und einmal zum Ammersee und zurück. Besondere Erwähnung die Laufräder (http://ritcheylogic.com/wcs-zeta-2-road-wheels) und die sehr tollen Reifen (https://www.vittoria.com/tire/corsa-open/) / Reifentest dazu (http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/vittoria-corsa-graphene-2016), ----- 4.) ParkTool Reklamation Wir sind mal wieder beeindruckt von dem guten Reklamationsverhalten des CBP-3 (http://www.parktool.com/product/campagnolo-bearing-puller-and-installer-set-cbp-3) ----- 5.) Test: Giro Factor ACC Rennradschuh Markus und ich sind beide sehr angetan von von den Giro Faktor Schuhen (http://www.giro.com/eu_en/products/men/cycling-shoes/road/factor-acc-56.html), sehr angenehm zu tragen, auf längeren Strecken auch noch sehr angenehm zu tragen, mit viel Zubehör und durchdacht aufgebaut, selten waren wir beide so angetan von einem Produkt, Einlagen einzeln zu kaufen (http://www.giro.com/eu_en/products/accessories/sn-footbed.html), (Bilder > http://velohome.de/produkttest/giro-factor-acc/) Handschuhe von Giro die wir nutzen sind die Giro 100 Proof (http://54elf.de/giro-100-proof-winterhandschuh/) und die Giro Zero gibt es leider nur noch in einer überarbeiteten Version (http://www.giro.com/eu_en/products/men/gloves/road/zero-ii-14.html) ----- 6.) Test: Sportfuel Fiandre NoRain Bibshort Markus hat seine erste Thermo Bib (http://www.sportful.com/Root/Cycling/Shorts/Fiandre-NoRain-Bibshort/p/110126916P), guter Schnitt, breite Beinabschlüsse, schön Wasserabweisend und vor allen Dingen mit einem Spritzschutz am Gesäß, Markus hängt damit manchmal beim "aus dem Sattel gehen), tolles Preis Leistungverhältnis, (Bilder > http://velohome.de/produzent/sportful/) ----- 7.) Werkzeugflaschen vs Rückentasche vs Satteltasche Welches Konzept funktioniert für uns am Besten und warum, Taschentip aus dem Chat (https://lizardskins.com/road/bags/micro-cache-saddle-bag) ----- 8.) Gläser für Sonnenbrillen Austauschgläser vom Drittanbieter (https://sunglassesrestorer.de/), kann man diesen vertrauen? Haben Firmen die lange auf dem Markt sind einen Vertrauensvoschuss? ----- 9.) Rapha SuperCross in München Leider schafft es Christian dieses Jahr wohl wieder nicht... (http://pages.rapha.cc/de/cross/super-cross-muenchen-2016) ----- 10.) Filmtip: Fou Du Vélo Wir empfehlen wirklich von ganzem Herzen und gerne Fou Du Vélo (https://vimeo.com/177209661) Richard Geng challenges himself on an epic journey to conquer and climb Mont Ventoux 9 times in 24 hours on his roadbike. Will he make it or will he fail? ----- 11.) Bianchi Café Milano Loht sich der Besuch? Schwierig... kein Museum oder Historie (https://www.instagram.com/p/BHxkTYGh1MF/?taken-by=christiankoeln) ----- 12.) Danke Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich für alle Unterstützung auf den verschiedensten Wegen bedanken! Nächste Sendung: Dienstag, 06. September 19.30 Uhr Wir danken euch fürs zuhören!!!
