After a delicious dinner, the Tour’s participants just gathered to attend the presentation of tomorrow’s activities!
We are explaining them how the sled dog works… and to everyone’s delight there will be the presentation of the Italian National Models Football Team
Then, before going to bed (tomorrow we will wake up really early!) we will go all together to the bar to taste some vin brulè to warm up and some chocolate to get some energy for tomorrow!
Good night!

The Tour of the Alps caravan finally made it to the Stelvio Pass!
After a long trip, all the crew arrived.
Greetings, introductions… strictly in English since the participants are coming from all over Europe: the Stelvio Pass have never been so “international”!
And now… let’s go and get ready for the dinner, after this long trip everyone is a bit hungry

Here we are with the news from the journey!
The Tour’s guest are driving through the mountains enjoying the landscapes, with the safety given by the new winter’s best friends… the Snowcontrol Serie II.
They are about to arrive on the Stelvio Pass, where they will meet and greet, get to know each other and share their opinions surrounded by a beautiful view, completely covered by snow.
The evening will start with a delicious dinner, and then when everyone will be relaxed in the warm hotel’s atmosphere, there will be an explanation of what will happen tomorrow, the key-day of the Tour of the Alps!
But let’ go on driving… the journey continues!

We finally left!! The Tour of the Alps has officially started!!
The group that left few hours ago from Munich is travelling in the direction of Garmisch-Partnerkirchen to arrive then on the Stelvio Pass, driving through amazing landscapes and bends, testing for the first time the Snowcontrol Serie II.
The group that left from Milan already tested the Snowcontrol Serie II on Vizzola’s track, where the Pirelli technical team helped the participants to know better this new tyre and its potencial on wet and dry surfaces in winter conditions!
After this experience also this group is travelling through beautiful mountain passes like the Maloja Pass, the Bernina Pass and the Forcola Pass, and after passing through Livigno, it will then arrive on the Stelvio Pass this afternoon!
But there is something more… the competition started too! During the trip, as we already said, the different crew will have a portable dvd player to answer a video questionnaire about Pirelli, its history and winter tyres to gain points for the final score!
Who will be the winner?? We will find it out tomorrow, when there will be other points to add to the final score: those coming from the football match bets and those from the sled dog race!
See you later!!
