Welcome, travellers!
Founded in 2022, the Lightweight Adventure Festival began as a raw and authentic gathering aimed at celebrating travel and trail riding in its purest form. Originally intended for just 30 like-minded adventurers, it exceeded all expectations, sparking a vibrant and close-knit community ever since.
Today, the festival has grown into a hub for traveler's, adventurers, and those passionate about the lightweight adventure scene. We embrace simplicity here—this festival removes the luxuries (well mostly) and returns to the essentials. We believe this is the essence, of true adventure!
