Madeira South to North in 2 Days
Follow us on Instaram: butwhatsoutthere
Madeira is an island off Africas west coast, surrounded by the Atlantic ocean. The islands highest peaks are the summits of volcanic mountains that have their bases on an abyssal ocean floor.
We were lucky enough to have spent a few weeks there last winter, and what better way to explore the island than to cross it by foot?
Following the unique Levadas and lonely hiking trails, this was a brutal walk from north coast to south coast, and on the peak of the highest mountain of this island, we rewarded with the most intense sunrise we’ve ever seen.
The landscape is as dramatic as it is beautiful. From the palm trees and jungles at Sea level, to the cloud forests and rugged high peaks, there’s a story to tell at every step! Starting from sea level on the south side of the island before sunrise, we climbed over 2000 meters to sleep on the peak of the Pico Ruivo, Madeiras highest mountain.
Our goal was to get down to the Sea the next day, to take a bath in the ocean during sunset
A knee-breaking 30 kilometer descent led us down into the Green valley of Sao Vicente, where we finally took a bath in the Sea on Madeiras North Coast.
The stats:
Day 1: 29.7km, 8h01, 2345m elevation gain
Day 2: 23.2km, 6h12, 554m elevation gain

12 days alone in Scandinavia's most remote wilderness - from Padjelanta to Rago
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Місяць тому
In September I hiked across the Scandinavian mountain range in 12 days. I began in Sweden's Padjelanta National Park and finished in Rago National Park in Norway. Both parks are part of the largest protected wilderness of continental Europe, which also includes the adjacent Sarek National Park and Stora Sjöfallets National Park. Padjelanta is regarded as the most remote wilderness of Scandinavi...
Bikepacking the Caucasus Crossing (off-road)

The southern caucasus is a mountain range that spans 5 countries, but that is often overshadowed by the high peaks of its big brother in the north. We ventured into this lesser-known mountain range along the Georgian caucasus crossing. And together with my three new Italian friends, while fighting the steep gradients and rough mountain roads, we discovered the freedom of the high plains and vas...

CRAZY Caucasus off-road BIKEPACKING: Pt. II (Svanetis Snowy Peaks)

In the second part of the Georgian Caucasus Crossing, Gian and I met up with Carlo and Lorenzo, two Italian friends of him. The epic bikepacking route led up multiple 2.000m@Passes passes and down crazy singletrail descents, that you would normally ride on a mountain bike. It was a wild adventure, where we often rode into the dark to find a place to sleep along the steep mountain faces. All tha...
Quiet Hiking along Corsica's West Coast

In August of 2023, I hiked alone for 5 days along the North-West coast of Corsica. I began the hike in a town called Porto and finished in Galéria. Both places are accessible by hitchhiking or by bus. The coast between these two towns is almost completely wild and unaltered by humans. It is also extremely rugged with steep cliffs and mountains of red granite extending into the sea. A hiking tra...

Quiet hiking in the Swiss Alps - 3 days alone through the mountains

After 5 intense and joyful days of dancing, I was looking forward to go wander into the quiet mountains by myself.

Kayaking a wild river in Sweden

This is the small river Emån in the Swedish region Småland. For one day, I kayaked a section of roughly 14km on this river, which flows through wild and jungle-like forests. In August the river doesn't carry much water, so very often I had to get out of my kayak and pull it across the rocks. A really fun little adventure!

Alone for 4 days - Canoeing and camping on uninhabited islands in Sweden

In August, I ventured out into the wilderness of Sweden for 3 nights, this time with a canoe on a large freshwater lake (my favorite lake in the whole world) that is full of uninhabited islands and at the same time a nature reserve. This is no action packed adventure or a survival situation. Just me enjoying the calmness and beauty of the Swedish nature :)

      Hi, sorry for the late reply. For 5/6 days the southern half from vizzavona to Conca is definitely better, it’s the shorter „half“ and has less elevation gain (although still very mountainous because it’s still Corsica :D)

    Been there twice in 1990's, from Rago, across Padjelanta, into Sarek, and then back, solo. In those days almost completely undeveloped with no bridges and barely any trails, especially in Sarek. The days of youth and its crazy courage, wading rivers just meters away from the waterfall edge. Probably never felt as much alive as then and there. Thank you for the reminder.

    One can also use small wood stoves like Firebox Original or Nano to burn small twigs found on the ground. I myself prefer to use my trusted Optimus Svea 123 R white gas stove fueled by "eco friendly" petrol for 4-stroke lawn movers (or the more expensive Coleman fuel). Being a small and very reliable stove in most weather conditions and altitudes, it has been a popular choice for many hikers and mountain climbers since 1955 (!)

      thanks! Yes, there were quite a lot of sketchy situations. If you're afraid of dogs, it's not good to do a bike trip there... I never actually got a bite, but one of my friends had a crash due to a dog chasing him, and if you're on a busy street and they come out of nowhere, you have to be careful not to accidentally swerve into traffic to avoid the dogs. But basically if you shout at them, or threaten to throw something, they will stay away, so it's manageable and you'll get used to deal with them!
