For many years, the Motorcycle Hotel Reipertingerhof in Reischach near Bruneck (South Tyrol) has been a popular meeting point for bikers. This is no surprise, as the owner, Christian, often happily accompanies his guests on tours through the Dolomites. Even as a boy, "petrol ran in his veins" – and so, at just 12 years old, he built his first motorcycle. His wife Michela and daughter Yvonne also love riding the pass roads by motorbike.
