"Bergsüchtig" with Hans Kammerlander

19:00 - Experience lecture "Bergsüchtig"

Hans Kammerlander shares his story in the experience lecture "Bergsüchtig - on walls, ridges and summits" - tales of adventure, success and setback, joyful moments and human tragedy, all captured in the motto: climbing and descending in the death zone.

The lecture begins with a brief biography: born as the sixth child of a mountain farming family in Ahornach in northern South Tyrol, Kammerlander dreamed early of the three great north faces of the Alps - the Matterhorn, the Eiger, and the Grandes Jorasses. He accomplished all these climbs in his youth, and his extraordinary talent immediately caught the attention of the climbing community. Later, he climbed the Matterhorn in 24 hours via all four ridges in both ascent and descent. When the Alps no longer offered comparable objectives, the eight-thousanders in the Himalayas and Karakoram beckoned. An invitation from Reinhold Messner to climb Cho Oyu in 1982 came at just the right time. Since then, Kammerlander has been "bergsüchtig" and travels on all continents - he has now summited thirteen of the world's fourteen highest mountains.

Before the lecture, you can optionally book South Tyrolean delicacies from "Müssle Spezialitäten" with a glass of wine, as well as a meet & greet with Hans Kammerlander at 17:45. An activity fair with local providers takes place from 17:00 for all guests.
