Reinhold Messner: Life on the Edge

Who has pushed their limits as often as Reinhold Messner? In the rock, on the eight-thousanders, and in the ice deserts of this Earth. The adventurer is also a political person, a museum founder, and a mountain farmer. In his lecture, he shares stories from his youth in the Dolomites, from the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, Greenland, and his commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. Reinhold Messner sees himself today as a representative for all those who neither had the time nor the means to realize their ideas as adventurers. He wants to share his experiences from the last wilderness areas on this planet and awaken empathy for the people in the world's mountains. His tales of near-death experiences, failures in the death zone, and facing strong headwinds are both thrilling and profound at the same time.
