The Best Season

The Best Season is a film celebrating the joy of cycling in winter. Round-the-world cyclist Markus Stitz embarks on an eight-day journey through Southern Norway, inspired by Vinternatt i Rondane (Winter Night in the Rondane) by Harald Sohlberg.
Though he never reaches the exact location depicted in the painting—where a deep blue winter sky meets snow-covered peaks bathed in soft moonlight—he discovers his own version of winter’s beauty, cycling 680 km on icy roads with studded tyres through a breathtaking winter wonderland.
