Time really flies… it seems like it was just yesterday that we were on the Stelvio Pass, organizing the Tour of the Alps… and instead more than a month has already gone through… and it’s almost Christmas!
Take a look at the pictures below to see how the Stelvio Pass was in October… and check out what it looks like now!
That’s a real winter landscape… just the way we like it!
The official bloggers for France and Italy shared with us their opinions about the Tour. Christian Kaiser, the official blogger for Germany who wrote a detailed travel diary on dasautoblog.com, has done just the same sending us a message about his experience…
“With the invitation for the “Tour of the Alps” Pirelli shows that bloggers are taken more and more seriously. For me it was not only an honour to take part as the German representative, but also informative and related to lots of fun. Pirelli succeeded in making the presentation of a tyre a great experience – or better: a great adventure – that could not be better organized!”
We thank Christian for his contribution, and for the nice picture he took at the Tour, which you can see here below!
We strongly suggest you to raise the volume of your pc and make yourselves at home…directly from the Stelvio Pass a load of adrenalin to let you live the great emotions of the Tour of the Alps!
…and make sure you “pass the ball” to your friends by sharing the video!!
We were wondering about their point of view… and they sent us their opinions about the experience lived during our Tour!
Let’s see what they think so…
Christophe Labédan from France, who joined the Tour for leblogauto.com thinks the Tour has been an innovative way to test a tyre, as they had much time and different situations to understand its characteristics.
Moreover the chance to share the experience with so many journalists, has been very appreciated.
Christophe says he learned more in three days about winter tyres than what he had done in a lifetime… because practice is always better than theory!
Paolo Alberto Fina from autoblog.it, the official blogger for Italy, told us that the three days dedicated to cars, tyres and kilometers have been characterised by a freezing temperature, but when you are having so much fun, you don’t really feel it! Here you can find his narration of the Tour.
Paolo has been impressed by the landscapes, the organization… and by the interest we put in the web and the blogosphere.
Are you curious to read their messages in full version? Here they are!
Well, what can we say?
It’s honeslty a pleasure for us to feel this enthusiasm!
And the other bloggers?? They might be sharing with us their opinions very soon… !
They answered our call… they drove long and winding roads… they stayed with us at 3.200 m of altitude and -18°C: they are our 5 official bloggers!
And here we are to present them, and to point out the blogs where they posted their personal travel diary of the Tour of the Alps.
Italy was officially represented by Paolo Alberto Fina, who writes for Autoblog.it, and started his journey leaving from Milan… check out what he said about his first day of the Tour autoblog.it
In the group that left from Italy, there were also the official bloggers from Spain and France.
The Spanish blogger’s name is Javier Moltò, who writes for Km77.com, and who was also part of one of the crews that won the Tour’s challenge!

The official blogger for Switzerland is Quentin Charnolé of Xelopolis.com who dedicated this interesting page to the Tour, with a lot of pictures he took himself which are quite impressive!! xelopolis.com
Our bloggers spent the three days of the Tour with us and the rest of the guests… it’s been so exciting to gather so much people from many different countries all together on the top of the Stelvio Pass to share this experience!
Reading their posts we feel a bit melancholic… but in this way we can find out also their point of view!
We really hope they had fun too during this great Tour of the Alps!
The Tour of the Alps’ week has come to its end… and we have to thank everyone!!
Thanks to the whole Pirelli Team and to all the people who organized this amazing event and made it happen!

Other news from Monday… because the journey continues here on the blog!
The Tour of the Alps is over, guests and participants are now back in their warm and cozy houses, remembering these amazing days full of emotions!
But the journey goes on… here on the blog! In the next few days you will find a lot of other surprises… but we can’t reveal more than this… stay tuned!
It’s the last journey for the Tour of the Alps’ participants…
The two groups split yesterday, to spend the night in two different locations… are you curious about that? Moltrasio is in Italy, close to Como, while St.Anton is in Austria!
The group on the way to Milan, had the test drive in Vizzola… they couldn’t miss this experience!
The other one instead continued his journey to Munich: there is still some time to test the Snowcontrol Serie II!
Both crews are about to end this amazing Tour… but let them enjoy the last kilometers to the arrival!
Today, after a rich lunch which helped us recover from the efforts on the football pitch, we gathered all together to attend the official presentation of the Snowcontrol Serie II: the Pirelli Team explained all of the technical details of this new product.
As we already said, the final scores came out, and the winners got their prize!
But there isn’t just one crew winning the challenge… because two crew got the same score!
And one of our official bloggers is among the winners… Javier Moltò from Spain (www.km77.com) !
And after the celebrations… it’s time to say goodbye, the two original groups in fact left, driving again… one group is going to Moltrasio and the other one to St.Anton.
