2020 European Packrafting Meet-up & Testival
This is a very special year and even if the Meet-up happened at a different time and place than originally scheduled, we are stoked that it was still possible!
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.
Bikerafting along the Carretera Austral, Chile
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.

This is Bikerafting - Tips & Video by Deane Parker
But Bikerafting allows more exploration, access, and ability to move through backcountry self-sufficiently all while enjoying the diverse landscapes of track and torrent or bodies of water. Start small, build up, and don’t be put off packrafts by any negative experiences you’ve had in kayaks or canoes. Packrafts are highly technical crafts that are super stable, manoeuvrable, and durable – the perfect tool for the part time paddler.
