Most people celebrate milestone birthdays. Kurt Resch does it differently. The man behind the Hotel Steineggerhof, a pioneer in mountain bike tourism, can look back on thirty years of mountain bike guiding. His anniversary is the perfect opportunity to look back and gain a deep insight into the soul and development of the entire sport of alpine mountain biking.

For the video series "Ride Check", mountain biker Sandro Schmid took on the epic Rosengarten circuit in the Dolomites and was left breathless by more than just the impressive landscape.

Kurt Resch is one of the best-known and most prominent mountain bike hoteliers in South Tyrol. He was about to open the Steineggerhof near Bolzano for the season, but now everything is different. Italy's lockdown has brought everything to a standstill for him. In this interview, he explains the situation in Italy. One of his messages: go shopping and then refrain from making any more shopping trips.
