2014 Movie Switzerland Documentary 93 min
By: Matthias Affolter With: Dani Arnold, Jacques Grandjean, Werner Munter

How much risk does life need? The high mountains are a place of refuge and home for mountaineers from four generations. "Mountains in the Mind" brings us closer to their passion and the questions that come with it. We search with Jacques Grandjean for crystals in fragile rock on forgotten walls. In the north face of Gross Ruchen, we hear extreme alpinist Dani Arnold cursing in the foehn storm. Stephan Siegrist takes us on his expedition to the West Pillar of Makalu in Nepal, while Werner Munter, at over 70 years old, continues to search for new routes in the wildest corner of Val d'Hérens. In search of the right path, the four mountain guides are confronted with life questions that each of us asks ourselves: What am I willing to sacrifice and give up to fulfill my dreams? How much risk does life need?
