10 Documentaries for Lovers of Running and Climbing

Kilian Jornet Specials

Path to Everest

Kilian Jornet, the best mountain racer in history, wrote as a child a list of all the races he would like to win and all the mountains he dreamed of climbing. In May 2017, he crossed out the top of the list by completing a historic double climb to Everest alone, without oxygen and in a single run. It was the culmination of the Summits of My Life project , which for five years has led him to tour spectacular peaks around the planet accompanied by a small group of climbers. In this documentary he reviews the path that has taken Kilian Jornet to the highest peak in the world.

Langtang

Langtang is the story of a trip to the heart of Nepal. In April 2015, Kilian Jornet, together with mountaineer Jordi Tosas and cameraman Seb Montaz prepare for an expedition to Everest within the third year of the Summits of My Life project. Two days before leaving, an earthquake dramatically hit Nepal and especially the Langtang Valley where Jordi Tosas has great friends.

Inside Kilian Jornet

Coinciding with his entry into his thirties, Kilian Jornet lived the best and worst year of his life. The documentary follows Jornet during an intense 10-day tour of 10 cities around the world, revealing for the first time everything that surrounds this professional athlete and showing us his most unknown and uninhibited face. Between presentations, interviews and brand commitments and with few hours of sleep, the athlete reflects on a year marked by injuries; for her search for a balance between competition and personal projects, and for the news of the arrival of her first daughter.

Running 30’s

Turning years and going through the operating room. This has been the recovery of Kilian Jornet after the shoulder procedure. Upon returning to competition, an unexpected accident occurs. The crisis of the 30s?

Emelie Forsberg Specials

Being an athlete and a new mum

The mountain athlete and world champion of sky running, Emelie Forsberg, gave birth to her daughter Maj in March and in this short film she shares how she finds the balance between joy for being a mother, as well as her return to training and high competition as mountain athlete.

4 in a row

Emelie Forsberg wants to see more women in the mountains taking on challenges and achieving her dreams. For this reason, he has decided to share in this ‘4 in a row’ the four records that he established in Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa, Galdhopiggen and Kungsleden.

Mireia Miró’s Specials

To be

Mireia Miró, a professional ski mountaineer, traveled to Norway in April for an inspirational and introspective trip. The objective: to leave the ridges aside, meet new people and discover new landscapes on top of the skis, enjoying mountain skiing without pressure. They spent a few days living on a boat and skiing from sea level to the top. From this experience “Being” was born, about how to rediscover yourself and your motivations.

Ordesa, closing the circle

At just 18 years old, Mireia Miró worked in the Góriz refuge. There, a dream was born that has accompanied her for a long time: chaining with skis the three thousand most emblematic of Ordesa, those that she saw every day from her window and that she began to walk for the first time with Joan Maria Vendrell, guardian of the refuge.

Cristofer Clemente’s story

Did you know that in just 4 years Cristofer Clemente went from being overweight and living a sedentary life to competing among the best? This was the life change of the athlete that you can see in his documentary “Another Cristofer”. An inspiring story of overcoming!

UTMB
