The film “Faszination Fliegen: Der Stoff, aus dem Träume sind” celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Hang Gliding Association and takes viewers on a journey through the history of this pure and fascinating form of flight.
From the first daring attempts by courageous pioneers to today’s high-performance flights, the film shows how hang gliding and paragliding in Switzerland have developed and how the sport has changed over five decades.

Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau form a striking trio that defines the skyline of the Bernese Oberland and are integral to the region's alpine heritage. The North Face of the Eiger was first conquered in 1938 via the Heckmair Route, named after German climber Anderl Heckmair. It remains one of the toughest challenges in mountaineering. In comparison, the North Faces of the Mönch and Jungfrau are considered easier yet still formidable.
Producer - Tina Preschitz

The North Face is a big player in the mountaineering game. They are creating variety of gears to help athletes push their limits higher and higher. To answer the demands of the new consumers, but also the changes in terrain and competition, they engineered four news shoes: The Torre Egger, the Cayesh, the Breithorn and the Cragstone.
