Mount Everest

Three women whose stories go far beyond records. Rachel Entrekin leaves the entire field in the dust. Sophie Woods crosses the Alps in record time and calls for more support for women in endurance sports. Lhakpa Sherpa fights for her freedom and returns to the mountains. What connects them? The question: “Why not me?”

Autumn is showing its best side and with the mountain peaks already covered in sugar, the first winter feelings are starting to set in. The current fantastic weather and the prospect of snow next week motivate us to write our first WeatherBlog.

Overall, the weather will continue to be changeable and prone to precipitation, with a significantly fluctuating snow line. Over the next few days, Atlantic low-pressure areas will repeatedly reach us, which will be steered towards the Alps from the west. Due to the alternation of warm air at the front of the trough and colder air at the back of the trough, temperatures will be on a rollercoaster.

The Alp-Con Cinema Tour is back on the road in Austria and Germany, bringing spectacular films with it. In three different film blocks - BIKE, MOUNTAIN and SNOW - the tour shows a variety of stories from different sports.

By mountain bike from Kathmandu (Nepal) via the "Friendship"-Highway, over the main Himalayan ridge to Tibet and to Mount Everest Base Camp (5400 m above sea level).
