Hope-1000

Bikepacking means simply setting off, taking everything with you and spending the night in the open air. Self-sufficient mountain biking, so to speak. Bikepacking is all the rage. And where there are trends, events are not far away. Take Hope-1000, for example: the first term comes from the sponsor, the number indicates the distance. 1000 kilometers through Switzerland. Everyone divides up the race themselves, may not accept any outside help and may only use publicly accessible infrastructure. Ascent aids such as mountain railroads are excluded. The fastest finish the route in just under four days.

Description

The route is theoretically suitable for e-mountain bikes, but not possible in practice due to the limited battery power.

Hope-1000 takes place every year in June. The route published here may change each year due to current conditions. Further information at hope1000.ch
