Quite possibly the most picturesque video I've ever seen on here. My jealousy is high.

Can I ask, was it an uninhabited hut & what did you do for heating when you got there? Looks like such a rad idea. I've always seen these huts when skiing and wondered if people shelter up in them during storms, who they are owned by, if they have food stocks, heaters... some enlightenment would be great!

Thanks all for the video.

It seems to be open to the public and free of charge, as it's purpose is to provide shelter for emergency stays.
The tourism association also offers a guided version of this tour: www.brixen.org/de/sommer-aktiv/biken/bike-biwak-camp-plose.html

@jmrmuc: cheers dude. This idea opens up a whole host of fun and possibilities. Perhaps a long term ride may be on the cards soon :-) thanks man.

In BC we have cabins in the mountains like this as well. They all have a wood stove with pre split firewood. You can show up and be warm! In the summer volunteers restock the wood and do any repairs or fixes on the cabin.

@conv3rt: massive props to anyone who sorts that stuff out then really. Wonder how many lives those places save year on year. Good things do happen in this modern era :-)

In Swiss there is a lot of similar huts in the mountains where you can also find wine bottles, beer and something to eat. Most of them is equipped with stuff to make a fire too. Of course you have to pay it (or you should). And boy, the trails

Luckily, not so many people knows about them.

It's always strange to watch video taken where you live: you recognise every location, you know every trail and every jump and you also know a lot of this shot are non related to each other: a piece of this location, a piece of that location far away from the previous one, that jump poached from a "secret" line and so one, but it's all still fascinating and mesmerizing.
Well done

(After this video the snow was gone for months. Just two weeks ago it's snowed again

There's a bunch scattered throughout the UK, size, facilities and ease of access vary quite a bit but all free to use.

That was insanely beautiful footage, and such a great trail (or series of trails).

Great rider, great scenery. Why the use of fast motion to speed everything up?
