«The Alps by bike» or when sporting effort stimulates creativity

By Jean-David Ponci · 14 April 2022

ENTRETIEN, Jean-David Ponci | Nicolas Richoz is a triathlete. Two days after completing his master's degree in civil engineering at EPFL, he embarked on the adventure of cycling the main Alpine passes with his friend Coralie. The aim? To write a book about it. «Les Alpes à vélo» conveys the experience of a cyclist: effort and delight, human warmth and the unexpected, intense joys and disappointments; a richly illustrated book whose exceptional quality photos will also appeal to those with little interest in cycling. The rigor with which the route is planned, the structure of the book, the maps and indexes also reveal the author's engineering skills.
