Reinhold Messner: Living on the edge

09.04.2026

Who has pushed themselves to the limit as often as Reinhold Messner? On rock faces, on eight-thousanders and in the ice deserts of this world. The adventurer is also a political figure, museum founder and mountain farmer. In his lecture, he talks about his youth in the Dolomites, the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, Greenland and his commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

Reinhold Messner now sees himself as a representative for all those who had neither the time nor the means to realise their ideas as adventurers. He wants to share his experiences from the last wilderness areas on earth and awaken empathy for the people living in the mountains around the world.
His stories about near-death experiences, failure in the death zone and strong headwinds are both exciting and profound.
