A group of four young Tyroleans made an extraordinary journey in the summer of 2013: the four of them drove with their camper van from Innsbruck via Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan to finally arrive in Kyrgyzstan.

They were driven by the desire to climb high mountains and make tracks in remote deep snow slopes. “Our plans in the mountains were often put to the test and none of us had ever had such an exposed feeling as in the vastness of this country [Russia],” said Fabian Lentsch, one of the participants. With the experience of two seven-thousand-meter peaks climbed, many hours of exploring freeride, climbing, speedglide and paragliding opportunities, and 25,000 kilometers of travel through foreign countries, they finally returned internally enriched.
