We like to share our passion for overland travel and the many beautiful places we have visited on our planet.
Chris Pfistner
Chris is a high tech entrepreneur and has enjoyed expedition travel for over 30 years. Growing up in Bern, Switzerland, at the foothills of the Alps, he picked up mountaineering at a young age and climbed many of the majestic peaks at his doorstep, before scaling mountains in far away lands like the Himalayas, the Alaska Range, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada.
During his international travels he also discovered his passion for overlanding and has since explored many countries in Europe, Asia, North America and even an epic trip through Russia in an old Soviet Army truck.
Why “BernOverland?”
In honor of his hometown Bern in Switzerland, Chris is calling his Overland company “BernOverland”. This is also a play on words for “Berner Overland”, the alpine region South of Bern with the world famous 3-star constellation “Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau”.
