In the early september days some 1Addicts members toured in South Tyrol and experienced the thrilling Giau Pass in South Tyrol.
Though not as famous as the Sella Pass, the Stelvio Pass or the Grossglockner High Alpine Road it's one of the most enjoyable and challenging alpine passes for the driver and the (car) material in South Tyrol.
With its
1629 height meters on
27 km of distance and
55 hairpins and the relatively low traffic it provides a fantastic experience.
It was voted in the Top 10 of the Italian Premium Passes and even
Top 1 on
www.motorradonline.de and so is no longer a secret spy. In the motor cycle community it beats the famous Sella Pass to 2nd place. That's a word!
It was the second day of the 1Addicts Sella 3.0 tour, the so called
