Beni SpeedTransalp

For this route from Ruhpolding (GER) to Kasern (ITA), 210 kilometers and more than 10000 meters of vert, recreational athletes need approximately five to seven days. Benedikt Boehm is aiming for the magic time limit of 36 hours, non-stop. The risk of complete exhaustion is very big during this project. In 2006, Beni did this same route on touring skis together with five colleagues. With the name of “Hannibal,” the six athletes broke the then-record time of three days for the route.

My take

Raw endurance meets alpine ambition. Watch a skier attempt the impossible—36 hours non-stop across 210km and 10,000m of vertical. The kind of athletic documentary that's as much about mental breaking points as physical limits.
