Some Scuol Hospitality

As we were in the tiny downtown of Scuol poking around maps looking for something to eat we met an older biker who stopped to ask what we were looking for. After a brief chat about where we planned to camp, offered us his garden. Ari and I briefly looked at each other and thought, why not! We thought we’d biked the last hill of the day, but it turns out his house was another kilometer up the hill. He graciously led us up the hill, himself on his E-bike while we pedaled furiously to keep up. He led us up through the village to his beautiful home on the hill. The views were amazing, and his house quite nice and full of antiques and souvenirs from his travels. Turns out he just returned from a 7,000 Kilometer bike trip from his home to Oman at the age of 75! Goals! It also turns out he’s a “warm showers” host, which is a network of traveling cyclists (which I am a part of) that offer up their homes as stops for other touring cyclists free of charge. He’s the only host in Scuol, and probably one of just a few in the whole valley. He offered us a cold beer, good conversation and the nicest breakfast we’ve had so far! As well as some good tips for what to do around town. Thanks Tommy!Okumaya devam et
