A documentary about the new Via Alta Idra record: "BREAK 28"

We supported Gabriele Sboarina from Pini Mountain Racing while he was achieved a new record on the Via Alta Idra, in Switzerland.

112.4 km, 8952 meters of positive elevation gain, 10790 downhill in 27 hours 12 minutes and 46 seconds. With a team of 15 people, we followed the entire endeavour which will be turned into a documentary. It was a remarkable journey filled with challenges and triumphs.

As Gabriele Sboarina pushed his limits on the Via Alta Idra, the team stood by his side, offering support and encouragement every step of the way. The grueling 112.4 km route with its daunting 8952 meters of positive elevation gain tested both his physical and mental strength. Yet, with unwavering determination, he conquered the course, descending 10790 meters, setting a new record in the process.

As the sun rose and set during those 27 hours, Gabriele's perseverance shone brightly, inspiring all those involved and those who will watch the documentary in the future. This incredible feat will not only be remembered for the record achieved but also for the bonds forged and the indomitable spirit displayed by Gabriele Sboarina and his dedicated team.
