The harsh area around the Tauferer Ahrntal valley in a wild, untouched region in the northeast of South Tyrol is a hidden gem for rock and ice climbing, as well as specific altitude training. Simon and Manuel Gietl are trying to complete the first ascent of the spectacular Orca route, biathlete Dorothea Wierer overcomes all kinds of challenges during her summer training, and when winter falls, the area becomes a playground for extreme climber Christoph Hainz, who demonstrates his skills on the fleeting routes that lead across dramatic icefalls.
