VAUDE Engadin Bike Giro 2019
Das Mountainbike-Etappenrennen für Jedermann und Profis vom 28. bis 30 Juni 2019
Die vierte Ausgabe des VAUDE Engadin Bike Giro steht schon fast vor der Tür und wird in diesem Jahr vom 28. bis 30. Juni 2019 ausgetragen. Technisch prickelnde Strecken und die Kombination aus Profi- und Amateursportlern machen den Reiz dieses internationalen 3-Etappenrennens der “UCI Kategorie S2” in der schönen Engadiner Bergwelt aus.
Die Streckenoptimierungen der 2019er Edition sind außergewöhnlich und es gibt noch mehr atemberaubende Trails und Abschnitte zu erkunden als in den Vorjahren. Spektakulär wird bereits die neue Auftaktetappe am Freitagnachmittag. Der Start des Einzelzeitfahrens wird, auch dank der neuen Partnerschaften mit Engadin St. Moritz Mountains und dem Skiservice Corvatsch, auf dem über 3000 Meter hoch gelegenen Piz Nair erfolgen. Das Ziel befindet, nach 27 abwechslungsreichen Kilometern, zum wiederholten Male auf St. Moritz-Salastrains. Die zweite Etappe bleibt Königsetappe mit Start und Ziel in Silvaplana. Ein weiteres Highlight folgt am finalen dritten Tag des internationalen UCI- Rennens, mit Start in Silvaplana und einer Strecke durch Schluchten und auf Trails über Sils, Maloja und Corvatsch zurück nach Silvaplana. Insgesamt erwarten alle Bikerinnen und Biker erneut drei begeisternde Renntage im Sinne von „The Spirit of Mountain Sports“, dem Motto von Titelsponsor und Outdoorausrüster VAUDE.
Auch 2019 rechnen die Organisatoren der Sauser Event GmbH aus dem deutschen Villingen-Schwenningen mit bis zu 400 aktiv teilnehmenden Sportlerinnen und Sportlern im Engadin. Das Online-Meldeportal ist noch bis zum 22. Juni geöffnet. Die beliebten und attraktiven Hotelpakete der Engadiner Gastgeber stehen ebenfalls wieder im Programm und sind gemeinsam mit der Event-Anmeldung buchbar.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
