Mercantour / France
Discovering rugged trails and breathtaking landscapes
In September 2022, our adventure-seeking spirits led us to the rugged military tracks of Mercantour.
With four vehicles—two Lada Niva and two Defenders—we embarked on a journey that promised adrenaline-pumping moments and awe-inspiring vistas.
Here’s a glimpse of our unforgettable road trip through the lens of our roof rack-equipped vehicles.
In the middle of breathtaking sunsets and absolute tranquility, our journey unfolded, a testament to camaraderie and adventure.
Here, my trusty Lada stands tall, adorned with its rooftop gallery Rackupgear, embracing the serenity of the moment.
Amidst the rugged beauty of Mercantour, our convoy snaked its way through winding paths, on The Col Du Parpaillon.
Every turn unveiled new vistas, each more awe-inspiring than the last, as we embraced the spirit of exploration.
Together, these four vehicles formed the backbone of our expedition, carrying us through the untamed wilderness of Mercantour with grace and determination.
With each mile traveled, they became more than just modes of transportation—they became symbols of our shared adventure and the bonds that united us as friends and explorers.
As night fell over the Mercantour…
In the stillness of the wilderness, under a canopy of stars, we found ourselves united in our love for the open road and the freedom it promised.
Each photo captures not just a moment, but a story of resilience and friendship etched into the very fabric of our journey.
With the mountains as our backdrop and the wind in our hair, we traversed the rugged landscapes, our rooftop galleries laden with gear, ready for any adventure the Mercantour had to offer.
We ventured deeper into the unknown, forging memories that would last a lifetime..
With our roof racks and cars laden with memories of the road behind us and dreams of the adventures that lay ahead, we set forth, ready to write the next chapter of our story.
The way back didn’t happen as expected with some brakes problems for the yellow Niva, blown transfer case for the blue Defender and a blown head gasket for the blue Niva…
