About this project
Bruno Bertaud (France) took part in Sun Trip Alpes 2023, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Bruno Bertaud, 65, farmed vineyards, Nyons olives and aromatic plants in the southern Drôme and has always done plenty of sport – hiking, skiing, kayaking and hang-gliding. Once retired and with his son running the farm, he finally had time for The Sun Trip: “it’s never too late to do it right!”
