  • Traffic and interaction with vehicles or pedestrians;

  • Equipment failure or mechanical issues;

  • Physical exertion, dehydration, illness, or injury;

  • Risks related to travel in mountainous or unfamiliar regions.

I understand that these risks cannot be entirely eliminated, even with appropriate care and supervision, and I voluntarily accept all such risks.

To the fullest extent permitted under Swiss law, I hereby waive and release the Company, its owners, employees, guides, agents, and contractors from any liability for loss, damage, injury, or death arising from participation in any cycling activity organised by the Company, whether caused by ordinary negligence or otherwise.

This waiver does not exclude or limit liability of the Company or its representatives for:

  • Intentional wrongdoing or gross negligence (Art. 100 Swiss Code of Obligations);

  • Personal injury or death caused by such negligence; or

  • Any mandatory liability under applicable Swiss law (e.g., under the Swiss Product Liability Act).

4. Insurance

I confirm that I have obtained adequate personal insurance covering:
