Brief synopsis
It sounds incredible and it is! Three freeriders fly with a zeppelin into the Eastern Alps. Their plan: Abseil down from the colossal airship to freeride on previously inaccessible steep faces. An airy adventure!
It sounds like a crazy idea and it is: Zeppelin skiing! But the freeriders Stefan Ager, Andreas Gumpenberger and Fabian Lentsch want to do exactly that: Take to the mountains in an airship and get lowered over inaccessible, never-before-skied steep faces.
A wild adventure that almost failed, because it takes a lot of persuasion to get the zeppelin company interested in the project. After two years of preparation, the time has finally come: in mid-February, the three Austrian athletes climb into the cabin of the gigantic 75-metre-long airship at the Zeppelin hangar in Friedrichshafen and take off in the direction of Brandnertal, Vorarlberg. Arriving at the Kleiner Valkastiel (2,233 m), they open the hatches and throw the 50-meter rope into the depths. Now everything has to fit, even the smallest mistake can have fatal consequences. Will their aerial adventure be rewarded with a fantastic descent?
