Mendolabike 2024 - cycling day on the Mendelpass

Car-free cycling day on the Mendel Pass

Last weekend was ‘European Mobility Week’, an annual initiative of the European Commission for Sustainable Mobility that has been taking place since 2002. And so again this year, on Saturday 21 September, the Mendel Pass road on the South Tyrolean side - in the section from the junction for Oberplanitzing-Pianizza di Sopra up to the pass - was closed to motorised traffic.

A welcome and stress-free climb for all cyclists! Our coaches thought so too, and gathered the young club members to tackle the climb together. For some team members it was the first time the Mendel Pass had been climbed by bike.

Once at the top, there was a little refreshment, competitions ... and of course the joint ‘finish photo’ as a souvenir.
