The rather more crazy things. From which I learned the most.
I experience Switzerland as a winter wonderland – with ice in all its fascinating facets: ice canyoning, ice climbing, cross-country skiing – and finally, my adventure buddy Markus Blum and I take an ice bath in Europe’s first public ice bath facility, the “Eisbadi” in Arosa.
I venture into the winter water, even though the air temperature is well below zero. A visit to Switzerland’s largest ice bath.
We’ve all heard it before: ‘Just jump in at the deep end!’ Yes, you can – no matter how cold the water is. But there’s more to it than that.
From comfortable to extreme: snowy Finland offers some exceptional activities beyond the classic winter sports for those who like to experiment. I tried my hand at an icy triple and attended the only course in the world where you can learn to free dive under ice.
In this brand new 28-page media kit, I show you my work as an adventure journalist and speaker: Expeditions, travels, challenges – everything that excites me. Let yourself be inspired.
Only here, near Espoo, can lovers of cold extremes complete an under-ice diving course in swimming trunks. But it’s about much more than just the spectacular.
From comfortable to extreme: snow-covered Finland offers some exceptional activities beyond the classic winter sports for those who like to experiment. Malte Clavin visited the only course in the world where you can learn to free dive under ice.
Experience the thrill of winter in Switzerland with four ice adventures: ice canyoning in Pontresina, ice climbing on majestic frozen walls, tranquil cross-country skiing through Arosa’s serene forests, and daring ice bathing at Untersee, Europe’s first public ice bath.
Today, I climbed on the highest artificial climbing wall in the world: Luzzone Dam, Switzerland: 165 meters.
I have to admit, I’m a bit apprehensive about this upcoming bath. But it turns out to be just the right dose: an exciting tingle, outside my comfort zone, yet far enough away from panic territory.
I am very happy that my YouTube video about my Poland Ice Transformation has now been viewed over 100 000 times! 2 hours of shirtless mountain hiking in shorts – with a wind chill down to -19 degrees?! Together with 60 people from all over the world I learned incredible breathing techniques, ice baths and other great tools.
Volcanic eruption! One of the most fascinating spectacles in nature. For the first time we were to witness spewing lava live. The largest volcanic island in the world offered us even more: cold weather training, a glacier hike and an ice cave visit.
