Swiss alpine athlete Nicola Heiniger is coming to Fiesch.
One topic he will be talking about is the Red Bull X-Alps, the toughest hike & fly race in the world: 1280 kilometres across the Alps, a journey of 9 days and 6 hours, accompanied by many unforgettable moments. Heiniger talks about his intense preparation, what it feels like to compete in the top group, his setbacks – and the emotional climax at the finish in Zell am See.
He also looks back on his successfully completed “48×4000” project: together with Lars Meerstetter, he climbed all 48 Swiss four-thousanders – on foot, by paraglider and by bike. A unique adventure with spectacular flights, extreme exertion and stunning mountaintop experiences.
