UP­Cycling

After years of adventures across different continents, mountain bike pro rider Harald Philipp no longer wants to push his limits; he wants to settle down.

In Italy’s Maritime Alps, he has found the perfect spot. Here, he can design both his house and the trails surrounding it to match his own ideas. He clears overgrown and almost forgotten paths that haven’t been used for years, creating the perfect playground for himself and his e-mountain bike. The locals appreciate it – even if Harald will always remain “the German” to them.
