The Arolla glacier 🇨🇭is truly special. You can climb it relatively easily, and the approach to the start of the climb isn’t too demanding, making it accessible to most people. So, if you want to get up close to two glaciers and find yourself surrounded by alpine marmots, go for it! I made it, even after a recovery of my accident.

Small eruption of Mt Etna. Big enough to experience the salty air and the heat. The small lavastones and ashes burned my skin.

Exactly one year after my zipline accident, I have my adventurous and active life back.

Confronting! The blood is still on my climbing gear. After my climbing accident, involving a zipline, I had never looked at my gear again. Once I finally found the courage to take up via ferrata again, I opened the box with heart pounding. I realized that the blood from last year is actually a beautiful symbol of the beginning of my recovery.

Via ferrata is my absolute favorite activity during my summer holidays. After my accident last year on a via ferrata route involving a zipline, I spent seven weeks in the hospital and was still in a wheelchair this past January.

Being able to climb those steel cables again, trusting my strength and mental resilience, feels incredible. I never imagined I would be able to do this again within a year.

I will always be deeply grateful for the outstanding medical care and expertise I received in both France and the Netherlands

The Reichstag is where Germany’s parliament meets, blending powerful history with bold modern design in the heart of Berlin. Its striking silver-and-glass dome, created by architect Sir Norman Foster, symbolizes transparency and gives visitors a fascinating glimpse into democracy at work. Love the lookout over Berlin city.
