Bikepacking The Swiss Alps Alone | Cycling & Paragliding Switzerland

Bikepacking the swiss alps has just begun and the landscape is as beautiful as you can imagine it. In this episode I am going to cycle to an amazing, little town in the alps, set up camp there and fly with the paraglider over the mountains and landscape.

After leaving Interlaken in Switzerland, I am now heading 45 km further to a quiet, beautiful town in the alps, called Kandersteg. On my way to Kandersteg I had to spend a night in the tent because it got too late and I don’t want to ride in the darkness. Next morning I kept on riding the bike and I had a very long uphill road, winding like a snake up the mountain. It was hot, difficult but awesome. As I reached Kandersteg I looked for some paragliding places, found a place to set up my basecamp for the next couple of days and after spending the first night in the tent in Kandersteg, I went to fly paraglider the next day. Enjoy watching!

There is a lot to tell and show about this epic bike journey. I’ve had very beautiful and exciting moments but also moments of pain, frustration and misery. Traveling on bike for such long distances teaches you who you really are, what you really want in life and what you are made of.

I am going to post weekly episodes from my bike trip across Europe. Stay tuned and subscribe with the notifications bell on to not miss any of the uploads.
