Dead Ends & Cake is a self-supported and self-navigated bikepacking event in eastern Switzerland - with fresh cake at each checkpoint… ≈ 500 km / 9000 +m
All checkpoints are dead ends. Located at some of the most beautiful, remote places of eastern Switzerland. Start and finish in St. Gallen. People try to avoid dead end roads. And that’s why they are so special! Small rugged roads, roughly carved into the mountains will lead to the very end of a valley or to the top of an alp. The only reason to go there are stunning sceneries and amazing landscapes! That’s why there’s almost no traffic. Just the mountains and in this case - homemade cake!
The inaugural edition of DEAD ENDS & cake was all about big miles and even bigger smiles! Film-Maker Jan Mühlethaler (roja-films.com/) was chasing the riders day and night. In a van, on a bike, on foot and even in the air. He was able to capture an incredible mix of emotions, spectacular mountains and some great stories from the road.
