Alpine freeride – Engelberg

The schizophrenic nature of recent blog posts is a good reflection of my life at the moment but the Alps are making it hard to justify being too annoyed about being injured. Lack of racing has left me searching for new excitement and adrenaline in my life and luckily I think I’m in the right place. With an occasional chairlift to save my calves by avoiding the long slogging climbs to get out of the valley I can embrace the world of all-mountain alpine riding. Last weekend we rode between the Engelberg and Meiringen ski areas, an amazing high mountain route with tough technical climbs, a traverse across a dramatic ridgeline with spectacular glacial views and epic rocky, dusty steep descents. Exploration and adventure at its best.









I suspect I fractured my finger with a mini crash but it was well worth it, it can’t get any better can it…?
