People are always thinking of ways to get their adventure on. And for some people, biking on the side of the mountains is the thrill they need. A group of bicyclists head to the top of a mountain in Switzerland and make the 1,000-foot drop!

The next YouTube video posted in this blog post takes us to Crans-Montana, Switzerland. This video was filmed and shared by the Wolfpack Adventures YouTube channel. This page is dedicated to providing real-life experiences of mountain biking adventures. 

They share their wild adventures where they race with 200 other riders, people picking fights on bike rides, and unique bike parks, to name a few. They share a few thoughts on what happened in the video below.

“I tackle the RISKIEST mountain bike ride of my life along a 1000ft cliff in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. It was more than a ride – it was an epic, fear-defying, heart-pounding adventure that tested my limits and skills. 

Brace yourself for a journey filled with stunning views, intense moments, and the pure adrenaline rush of biking on the edge. Don’t miss this!”

Cliff Drop!

At the start of this wild video, we see this guy on the side of a mountain with other bikers. Not only are they attempting to ride this mountain, they are doing it well! The path that they are on is so small, and any misstep (or miss-wheel) would have catastrophic effects.

Finally, they come to a block on this mountain, and the only way to go is through this small, narrow cavern. They can squeeze through and get to the other side. 

Now, the video backs up to the team on ski lifts in Switzerland. They are dropped off at the top and now will attempt this 1,000-foot drop-down on their bikes. And yes, if you were wondering, they do have to ride through snow sometimes!
