Hannibal
Skiing through the Alps in three days
The International Dynafit Team braved more than 13,500 vertical metres and 210 kilometres of distance. In March 2006, seven young ski climbers from Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and France crossed the Alps’ main range on touring skis in only three days. Even well-trained ski tourers would plan 7-10 days for a similar trip--but not the Dynafi t Team.
They chose to make the crossing from the north to the south. The Hannibal Tour set out for Kasern in Ahrntal (Südtirol) from Ruhpolding in Chiemgau. They did not make it easy for themselves, since the Tour’s motto was by “by fair means“.
That means that the Team did not ride shuttle buses through valleys or ski lifts up the mountains: they did everything with their own strength.
“Our strong motivation helped us reach the fi rst peak, Unternberg, at an altitude of 700 metres, in 45 minutes, despite the fact that it had frozen over a bit. It was a fi tting beginning for our lightning tour.
We continued on our way over avalanches of wet snow in the direction of Seegatterl ins Tal. During the journey we had to reckon with some small incidents including a fall, but we never lost sight of our goal. We rested a bit--seven minutes--in the parking lot to gather our strength before setting off once more, because it was essential for us to stick to our schedule. We were already feeling the effects of this break during the next climb, which we fi nished in less than an hour. The terrain leading to Scheibelberg was partly very fl at, but two of the team members still ran into a few problems: there were no toilettes to be seen and not even enough time to take off our jumpers.
