Wild Days (Expedition), 44 min

Four friends and a crazy idea: Aurel, Chris, Hélias, and Alex dream of 50 days of complete autonomy. They set out on a challenging traverse of the Denali Massif in Alaska, aiming to reach the ocean—on skis, with pulks, and packrafts.

WILD DAYS tells the story of their search for true wilderness—a journey that tests body, mind, and friendship, stretches time, and inspires the spirit—as only a great adventure can.

Gipfeli of Switzerland (Cycling Alpinism), 30 min

Cycling through all of Switzerland’s cantons and reaching their highest points on foot is a unique form of procrastination. Still, student Tobias Renggli would rather hop on his bike and lace up his hiking boots than study for exams. Time is limited, the terrain is challenging, but above all, it’s all about the best “Gipfelis.”

Elladj (Wild Ice Skating), 6 min

Elladj Baldé is very close to realizing his Olympic dream. As a person of color in the oh-so-white world of figure skating, the Canadian has made it almost to the very top. But what do we do when the perfect plan doesn’t work out? Elladj laces up his skates and, far away from all competitions and scores, finds a much bigger dream in the Canadian wilderness—wild ice.

Sheri (Packrafting), 19 min

Sheri Tingey knew it even as a four-year-old: she prefers to shape the world (and her clothes) just the way she likes it. The designer embodies a wild mix of genius and stubbornness. She needs that stubbornness to hold her own in the outdoor industry with innovative ideas as a 50-year-old woman. Take, for example, a packraft for rapids! But history proved her right, and so SHERI is not only the origin story of her success but, above all, the moving life story of a woman who simply never stopped reinventing herself and the world around her.

Freja’s Back (Climbing), 15–17 min

Early in the 2024 season, all-around climber Freja Shannon suffers a serious fall on the north face of the Droites in the French Alps—diagnosis: a broken back. But despite a grim prognosis, Freja fights her way back surprisingly quickly—first back on her feet, and then back to the rock. Together with her climbing partner Ariane Moreau, she tackles the route “Ave Caesar”—a perfect 7c trad route on the impressive Petit Clocher du Portalet (2,823 m) in Switzerland.

Drop The Line (Speedriding), 3 min

In his youth, Anthony Dutruy used to ski down the lines on the Junior Freeride World Tour. After ending his competitive career, he sought a new challenge and found it—in speedriding. This sport combines skiing and paragliding. It’s not without its dangers, as it requires even more planning and careful consideration than freeriding. But the sport quickly became his passion, and now he skis and paraglides down slopes that many ski enthusiasts can only dream of.
