Ice & Palms, a bikepacking and adventure film to escape the heat

The film Ice & Palms tells the story of the bikepacking journey undertaken by skiers Jochen Mesle and Max Kroneck from Germany to the Mediterranean, crossing the Alps. The only rule of the trip was that they could not use any motorized vehicles and had to climb and ski as much as possible. A true bicycle journey that combines mountaineering, skiing, and bikepacking.
