Inspired by Wolfgang Fasching a three-time winner of the Race Across America (RAAM) who completed the Seven Summits of the Alps in 2012 in less than 10 days I decided to follow in his footsteps; however without having a supporting team to help me.

Equipped with an old mountain bike, camping and climbing gear I cycled from Slovenia to France and climbed the highest mountain in each of the seven countries situated in the Alps - at the age of 56.
