On Tour with Beat

Beat Hauser was much more than an exceptional cyclist. The South Tyrolean extreme cyclist from St. Leonhard in Passeier inspired many through his unwavering passion for cycling, remarkable determination, and achievements that went far beyond the ordinary. Year after year, he covered tens of thousands of kilometres and conquered countless metres of elevation on some of the most challenging Alpine passes in South Tyrol and across Europe.

With his impressive records and humble personality, Beat Hauser became a well-known figure in the South Tyrolean cycling community. His rides over legendary mountain passes such as the Timmelsjoch, the Stelvio Pass, and many other Alpine roads stand as a testament to extraordinary endurance, discipline, and dedication to the sport of cycling.

This page commemorates the life and sporting achievements of Beat Hauser. It documents his annual accomplishments, records, and personal reflections on extreme cycling, preserving the memory of a man who left a lasting legacy in South Tyrolean cycling.

South Tyrolean extreme cyclist Beat Hauser about himself and his passion for cycling

For many years I have spent several hours a day in the saddle pursuing my great passion, cycling. In the process, I have acquired excellent local and route knowledge in South Tyrol and its neighbouring countries. I also have excellent local knowledge of the Canary Islands and Mallorca. My qualifications range from easy climbs to extreme tours over several Alpine passes. I see the spa town of Merano and its immediate surroundings as the ideal starting point for all kinds of tours.

Located on the sunny side of the Alps, temperatures of around 15 degrees are already common here in March. The climate remains very mild until late autumn. For spring training, it is possible to roll through the blossoming orchards, but smaller climbs or passes can also be included in the programme. From early summer onwards, the classics can be tackled: the Timmelsjoch, the famous Stilfserjoch (Passo Stelvio), and the unique Dolomite passes, a World Heritage Site since this year.

Due to my good local knowledge, I can also offer preparations for the following marathons in the area on request:
