Bike2Boat Alps

10 April 2021 / / 0 Comments

I love watching videos that have a good dose of adventure and Bike2Boat Alps has stacks of adventure. The team made up of Olaf Obsommer, Jens Klatt, Adrian Mattern and Bren Orton travel 750km distance and 8000m of climbing with their paddling gear moving from river to river by bike. By removing the need for motorised transport the guys manage to complete the adventure with a low ecological impact.

Carrying some much kit on a trailer towed behind a bike with cooked brakes makes for some scary/comedic downhill action.

Viamala

Viamala from Oscar Mcburney on Vimeo.

With its beautiful turquoise water and 200+ foot cliffs, the Viamala, rätoromanisch for “treacherous path” is a true gem in Swiss whitewater. Through its general absence of water throughout the year due to a dam directly at the put-in to the classic lower section, this river is a true delight no matter what the water level. With clean lines through deep boulder gardens and stunning scenery this really is the place to be when it is running.

Schuls is a fun little warm up run on the Swiss Inn, with some easy rapids it’s a good section for less experienced paddlers who may be in the Alps for the first time.

The Big Melt

I headed out to the French Alps this summer with Exeter Uni Canoe Club. We arrived just as the snowmelt started, which was rather late this year. That meant big bouncy levels!
