We come back to Val Pusteria (after about 4 hours of travel, with breaks) and we continue to Bressanone. The day is wonderful.
We have a range of about half an hour, then almost forced posture begins to give us trouble, so only 20 minutes of relaxation to be ready again. We find the location Pettneu along the road to St. Anton, just a few kilometers, and identify a good or very soon to zimmer 50 €, breakfast abundant.

Let Linthal and then go up the Klausen Pass (1948m), then we stop in the town of Bürglen (William Tell Museum, closed). We continue to overcome Erstfeld and Wassen (proverbial quantity of water) we start the climb to the Sustenpass (
Sostiamo sotto al passo, all'Alpen center, e discutiamo sul da farsi. E' bello non avere nessun impegno con prenotazioni, vivere alla giornata, con la motocicletta che asseconda i nostri capricci e le nostre pause per dolci e foto. Nemmeno la pioggia which began to fall ruin these feelings.
We decided to get as close as possible to the point of departure of the train to the Eiger, and even come to your departure station: Lauterbrunnen. The village is just below and in Wengen is reached by the last half. When we get there are 6 pm and three times tell us that there are no spare rooms. So when we find a room available at the Steinbach (Capricorn) are not the 160 CHF (120 €) to stop: sleep two nights here and appreciate the dinners of meat and vegetables.

Palazzo di ghiaccio con sculture
Scorgiamo gruppi di scalatori fra il bianco accecante di crepacci e serracchi. Il nostro sguardo è attratto in direzione dei tonfi di potenti slavine che giungono ai nostri orecchi dopo alcuni secondi dal distacco, a causa della velocità del suono limitata rispetto alle distanze. Ciò ci impedisce di vedere l'inizio del manifestarsi di questi imponenti fenomeni.
Nel cielo terso scorgiamo ogni tanto il passaggio di un elicottero rosso in ricognizione. La temperatura si aggira attorno ai 4 gradi sotto allo zero, il vento è a
