Switzerland is really incredible when it comes to bikepacking, cycling, paragliding or any other activity. Bikepacking Switzerland all by myself was a blast! In this episode I will leave Kandersteg in the swiss alps and head even deeper into the mountains, experiencing the most epic and thoughest ride to Zermatt.

I just left Kandersteg and ready to ride all my way to Zermatt. I had to take the train from Kandersteg to Goppenstein because otherwise there is no pass leading over the mountains but only through them. After a 10 minutes train ride, I came out and started riding towards the valley to a bigger city, called Visp. From there the road changes completely. For the next 35 kilometers I had to climb over 1000 meters in altitude so therefore I needed several hours and a night rest inbetween in a small village, called St. Niklas. The next day, I managed to slowly but surely reach Zermatt, carrying all my heavy load plus my paraglider. Enjoy watching!

Countries I traveled through:

Germany

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.

  1. The ride was 50 km long, out of which 35 just uphill. I had to ride uphill 1000 meters in altitude. It was relatively short but very intense. Would you like to visit Switzerland?

  2. So DVybz, you're turning into one of those mythical Gods on this awesome adventure. Surviving on nothing but the kindness of strangers!! You're making me wish I was there!! Surely you will write a book on your Life Journey sometime in the future. I'm so proud of what you are doing! I thought Jamaica was great stuff but taking on Europe and the Alps is true grit and courage!! By the way, the narration is awesome and often funny!!
