All-Terrain & Expedition Vehicles (Switzerland)

A meet for off-road and expedition vehicles​. This goes hand-in-hand with the Offroader meet, but perhaps focuses more on vehicles outfitted for long expedition travel. Think trucks or SUVs with roof-top tents, jerry cans, snorkels, and survival gear – basically, the overlanding scene. The tagline asks if you love driving off the asphalt​ – if yes, you belong here. We might see customized trucks ready for Africa or Asia overland trips, Unimogs or Pinzgauers turned into campers, fully kitted Land Cruisers or Mitsubishi Pajeros that have done or are planning pan-continental journeys. Participants likely swap stories of past expeditions (someone’s bound to have photos from a Sahara crossing or a Nordkapp trip). This meet is about the spirit of adventure – vehicles as homes and tools for exploring the world. It’s a small but passionate community. With Brünig Indoor (a shooting center) partnering last meet and perhaps this one, maybe it overlaps with outdoor sportsmen – those who use such vehicles for hunting or forestry. In any case, whether for adventure or work, these machines share an ethos of independence and resilience. Attendees revel in checking out ingenious modifications that allow self-sufficiency in the wild. As winter nears, some discuss using their rigs for winter camping or mountain expeditions. The meet is a testament that for some, the end of paved roads is where the real journey begins.
