    Traversing the Alps on a Mountain Bike – A Scenic Journey



    Three Norwegian mountain bikers try to cross the Alps from Slovenia to Switzerland. A journey with a lot of climbing, ice cream, hike-a-bike, crazy long days, incredible riding and beautiful scenery.

    Check out my older video from crossing the Alps from North to South here:

      I have to say this is the most scenic bicycling video that I have ever seen. The drone shots are at the next level. Amazing skills both on and off bike.

      An entertaining yet humbling adventure . Top notch production , with efficient/informative use of GoogleEarth and elevation graphs . Appreciative and envious of your achievement & experience here .

      I really like this. Im going to the alps mountain biking for a couple of months next month. The guys i usually ride with couldnt make it or it just wasnt for them. I was actually wondering whether to bother going on my own or postpone and randomly came across this video. It inspired me to just keep planning go for it anyway – so thanks for that.

      For anyone who plans to do the route, I just completed some of this route. There was a major landslide on the section from Ampezzo to Sauris. It was dangerous, Class V scrambling with a mountain bike. Unfortunately my friend hurt her knee so we had to deviate a lot from the route after Sauris. Ended up catching some of the route in the Sella Ronda area. Then from Davos to Chur did the route. Looking back at the video, bummed to have missed out on what appear to be some long ribbons of singletrack 🙁

      Also, y’all are strong AF to ride the mileage you did in this terrain!!! 8am-6pm for us several days just to keep your pace. Thanks again for sharing!

      First of all, thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience, from scenery, to drone video and all logistics and organization, excellent job, respect! Second, please be so kind and help me with gps data.  If I import your gpx track for day 1 into BaseCamp, overall ascent is 3.500m (on 2 different maps), the same gpx in google earth pro is showing 2.770m ascent, in osmand and orux on my phone they give me around 3.400m ascent, and garmin connect and komoot 1.920m ascent. You recorded 1.745m ascent. I plan to ride most of your epic journey, but this is one very important aspect to know exactly in front, correct ascent for every day. For first day all are shoving the same, around 800m ascent. Probably on some days like day 1 you used different gps settings and we have this difference. Can you please comment on this?

      Hey, I've been following your channel for a while and i must say it's the best bikepacking channel out there!!! I'm planning my own solo bikepacking trip trough the alps on a light E-bike. Are there a lot of refuges next to this route? I'd like to sleep in my tent or under the stars but I will need charging from time to time.

      Wooow, epic ride and amazing video editing and filming! Especially that last part is amazing! May i ask what kind of drone you used (cause I´m assuming you had to carry all your stuff with you on the bikes)?

      I am often in Chur, Davos and Lenzerheide. The nature shots you guys did are awesome and yes, it is really that beautiful! 🙂

      great video. However, I would like to know what trail they were on, what part of the country they are in, what town is in the background? This is where the video fell short.
