About this project
Frédéric Laugier took part in Sun Trip Alpes 2022, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Frédéric Laugier, a hydraulic engineer working in the oldest of renewable energies, first rode The Sun Trip in 2019 through the Rhône-Alpes region. His second took him across the Alps from Grenoble to Slovenia – a crossing he had long imagined on skis or on foot, and finally made by solar bike.
