Drop The Alps

Drop The Alps – Innsbruck, Austria

• Date: September 23–26, 2027

• Location: Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria

• Distances: 300 km, 600 km

• Event Type: Unsupported gravel bikepacking adventure

Drop The Alps is an unsupported gravel cycling adventure taking place from Innsbruck, Austria, across high alpine passes in Austria and Italy. Designed as an exploration-focused event rather than a traditional race, it brings together a limited field of self-supported riders navigating long alpine routes.

Riders can choose between two distance options, both starting and finishing in Innsbruck: the 600 km Adventure route and the 300 km Rookie route. Because the event is fully unsupported, participants carry all their own equipment, manage their own logistics, and comply with mandatory safety and gear requirements along the way.

General registration opens on November 15, 2026, with an early-access window and tiered pricing available for waiting-list subscribers. Full route profiles, mandatory gear lists, and registration details are available on the official event website.
