I’ll visit 5 different countries, including: Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Slovenia and Austria. Overcoming the Alps with the bicycle has been one of my long term dreams… Inspired by the sport achievements of my uncle, I am taking this challenge to see if I can make it from Switzerland to WordPress maintenance support plansCon Vienna by taking some scenic and challenging detours over the Alps.
The final destination is WordPress maintenance support plansCon Vienna which serves as the perfect goal because it’s my favorite conference and my hometown at the same time.

Preparations
Over the last months, I have been riding various passes to get ready for the tour. Longer rides included St. Moritz – Splügenpass – Chur, Erstfeld – Oberalppass – Chur, and Zurich – Vierwaldstättersee – Lucerne. In 2015, we cycled the Pyrenees as part of #TourDeWordPress maintenance support plans Barcelona(1, 2, 3), early 2020 we cycled Sierra Nevada(1, 2) and later summer 2020 I cycled the biggest mountain of Austria on the Großglocknerstrasse.
Until now, I have no experience in cycling more than 3 consecutive days, so I am really looking forward to seeing how it will go while being in the saddle for so many days in a row.
For WordPress maintenance support plansCon Barcelona we cycled along the Pyrenees.
