Karwendel Mountains / Tyrol, Austria

Gerwentil is the historical name of the Karwendel Mountains. One of the few places where you can still experience real adventures. The story begins at Ahornboden, at the northern entrance to the Karwendel. There, centuries-old maple trees are just losing their autumn dress and preparing for the dark time of the year.

Three freeriders set off into the mountains, always in search of new terrain and greater challenges. What they don’t know is: there is something out there watching all their moves and trying to understand the reason for these risky descents.

This film is a two-year passion project about the beauty of freeriding, but also looks at the subject from a self-questioning perspective. Because, is it morally acceptable to invade a world populated by rare animals and plants just because we love exploring so much?
