Some call it the most beautiful sled dog race in the Alpes, if not more: the
Alpen-Trail. It's a little more than a sprint sled dog race and a little more than an ordinary mid distance sled dog race - not by distance but in difference in altitude. It's just the ALPEN-TRAIL. Special in any kind!

Marte Heilemann, Norway, will challenge again the Alpen-Trail - Champ
Heini Winter, Germany, ...
This year it seems to be again a duel. Or more ...? What do you think?
Alpen-Trail 2011
Which musher will be the Alpen-Trail Champion 2011?
with his significant cyclist helmet has an advantage ...
Austrian musher No. 1:
Helmut Peer and his dog team could be always good for a surprise ...
helmut-dietz-photos: the Alpen-Trail 2011 favourites?!
PS: If you want to bet another trio, no problem, we are prepared to do so, just tell us your favourites and your price ... to
musherzeitung@yahoo.de!
Unfortunately we'll not be able to see the Alpen-Trail Champions 2011 live. We'll be at
La Grande Odyssee in France to see, if the Swiss will do it again - or if the Czechs will. And the trip to the last Alpen-Trail stage (which we did last year) is almost a world tour.
And what should you do, if you have seen the most beautiful sled dog race (at least in the Alpes) twice ...?!
But you never know. To see Norwegian sled dog teams is always a sled dog delicacy ... at least for us!
Good luck to all Alpen-Trail mushers, especially Marte, Roy, Bjørn Lyng, Heini, Helmut, Florian, Thorsten, Martin, Christoph, Kilian, Alfred, Sylvia, Claudia, Andreas, Vanessa, Matteo, Alain, Luzi, Lutz, Erwin, Dominik, Baltsar, Winfried, Stefan, Gerhard, Mario, Volkmar, Manuela and the Skijoring mushers ...!
... and
have fun as we had when we visited the race the last two years ...
