DELIUS KLASING Book Adventure Gravel-Transalp
Across the Alps on a gravel bike: Fascination Transalp
Crossing the Alps by bike is anything but an ordinary outdoor activity. The former professional racing cyclist Monika Sattler is constantly looking for new challenges. In 2018, she became the first woman to complete the 3,300km Vuelta a España course on the same day as the male pros – a record she still holds to this day. After numerous gravel races in the USA, she has now tackled an Alpine crossing on the popular all-rounder bike.
In this book she tells of her Transalp from Graun in Vinschgau to Lake Garda: six days, 402 kilometers and 10,440 meters in altitude. She is accompanied by bike photographer Gavin Kaps, who captures her gravel tour in spectacular pictures.
