Day 1 of the Exhibition, July 23: VAUDE LNT Advanced Instructors Panel & Release of the Third Stop of "Bike to Climb"
To accelerate the development of the LNT (Leave No Trace) course in China, VAUDE will gather China’s current 20+ LNT advanced instructors and establish a platform for promoting the LNT course. Any group can invite LNT advanced instructors through this platform and apply for LNT beginner course training. At 11:00-12:00 on July 23, VAUDE will showcase this environmental public welfare platform. VAUDE will also sponsor every advanced instructor dedicated to promoting the LNT course and every environmental volunteer participating in LNT training.
The “Bike to Climb” project, initiated by VAUDE, combines cycling and mountaineering—two outdoor sports—and perfectly embodies VAUDE’s commitment to eco-friendly outdoor activities without relying on mechanical power. The event has successfully held two stops: “Ride Across the Qiyi Glacier” and “Meet the Most Beautiful Season of Mt. Haba.” The third stop, “Ride to Taiwan,” is gearing up for launch. This activity will incorporate LNT course training, and VAUDE will be the first event group to invite an LNT advanced instructors panel.

Sharing Session for the 2014 VAUDE Paragliding 500km Grassland Eco-Transit Race
From June 30 to July 15, 2014, the recently concluded “2014 VAUDE Paragliding 500km Eco-Transit Race — Soaring Over the Most Beautiful National Geopark” successfully wrapped up in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. This marked the first time Chinese individuals undertook a Red Bull X-Alps-style long-distance paragliding camping flight over their own territory. There were only two ways to reach the finish line: fly or walk. During the event, VAUDE pilots traversed from eastern Inner Mongolia to western Liaoning Province’s Chaoyang City, either by flying or hiking. Passing through two provinces, two cities, and six banners or counties, they ultimately reached the finish line at the Dalinhe Base. Such a magical journey can’t be kept to oneself. At 15:00–16:00 on July 24, VAUDE will present a special sharing session on this unique 500km paragliding grassland eco-transit race.
