In the organizer's words:

Experience the mountaineering legend Reinhold Messner up close and LIVE on stage!

Messner has gone to the limit more often than anyone else. In the Himalayas on the eight-thousanders and in the ice deserts of the world.

With his uncompromising ascents of the world's highest mountains, he achieved what was considered unattainable at the time. He pushed the boundaries of what was possible and became the most famous alpinist of our time.

Reinhold Messner is also a political man, museum founder and mountain farmer.

In his lecture, he talks about his youth in the Dolomites, the Himalayas, the Gobi desert, Greenland and his commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

With powerful words and images, he looks back on seven decades that were characterized by early encounters with death and extreme experiences in nature. Reinhold Messner, whose curiosity is unbroken, talks unvarnished about the essence of his life and wrestles with concepts such as courage, passion and responsibility.

His stories about near-death experiences, failure in the death zone and many headwinds are exciting and profound at the same time.

Experience Reinhold Messner, the man and border crosser, who is not considered the most famous adventurer and mountaineer of our time for nothing.
