Unpredictable weather, long climbs, and the dream of a lifetime. Three cyclists traverse California’s Sierra Nevada, from Sequoia National Park to Yosemite Valley, facing heat, cold, fog, and everything in between.
Follow Italian photographer Federico Vandone Dell'Acqua, Virginia Cancellieri, and Sami Sauri as they tackle the ultimate bikepacking journey: four days through the heart of the Sierra Nevada, riding from Sequoia National Park’s giant trees to the legendary granite walls of Yosemite Valley. This film captures the raw beauty and relentless challenges of remote cycling: burning heat, sudden cold, shifting fog, downpours, and the striking absence of other riders on the road.
Federico’s lifelong dream brings him from northern Italy to California to experience America’s most iconic national parks, accompanied by friends who share his passion for cycling, storytelling, and photography. As part of the FW25 collection for Assos of Switzerland, “Crossing Sierra Nevada” invites you to witness a journey where every mile is hard-won, and the landscapes, and weather, change with the hour.
