Summer 2026 - Monte Elmo
Reinhold Messner & Peter Habeler
THE SELL-OUT OF EVEREST
Is there an ethic of alpinism? Who bears the responsibility between myth and mass tourism – and has adventure long since become a purchasable commodity? Reinhold Messner, Peter Habeler and expedition doctor Rudi Hipp discuss the physical, moral and social boundaries of our time.

K2 – The Big Fight
Reinhold Messner personally presents his documentary on the first Italian ascent of 1954. After an introduction, the film screening will take place in the in-house cinema. The work sheds light on the tragic betrayal of Walter Bonatti and rehabilitates him against the first ascenders Lacedelli and Compagnoni.

YAK-LAND – Storie dall'Himalaya
