Hard to believe that this is already the 4th Annual European Packrafting Meet-up! We are so grateful that this year we could head back to beautiful Soca River and that the borders opened in time for the Meet-up! We started the event with an arrival day on Tuesday and also Whitewater Rescue courses. The weather was fantastic pretty much all the way through the roundup and the flows were high too, what better conditions could we ask for :-) On Wednesday, Pro Kayaker, Red Bull Athlete (and part time packrafter ;-) Nouria Newman came for a quick visit to test...

Grande traversée du Jura en BikeRafting 10 jours (possibilité d’itinéraire plus court). VTT de Mandeure à Bellegarde. Packraft la Valserine/ le Rhône et en grande majorité le Doubs. L’itinéraire décrit ci dessous peut être bien évidement perfectionné et ne fait pas office d’un topo finit.

It was the 3rd edition of the European Packrafting Meet-up, and it feels like it just keeps getting better and better every year :-) The 2020 Meet-up united around 50 participants from 10 nationalities at Salza river in Wildalpen, Austria, which turned out a to be a perfect location for running different workshops and clinics right in front of the campground.

An epic adventure by packraft and bike - Bikerafting along the Carretera Austral from Puerto Montt to El Chalten. 1180km on bike - 360km on  packraft - 30 days riding

The Carretera Austral is today what should be on every cyclist’s radar:  a gem. The 1240 km of asphalt and dirt roads lead you to areas of incredible scenic beauty, from lush forests to snow-covered peaks, waterfalls and lagoons, while these images spark within you a sense of adventure like only such remoteness can arouse.
