Despite severe visual impairment, Gabriel Tschurtschenthaler masters difficult mountain tours; a book tells of historical events on the Stilfserjoch road. With ten percent of his visual impairment, Gabriel Tschurtschenthaler from Sexten masters difficult combined ice tours, including on the Grossglockner. Two years ago he managed to climb Cerro Torre in Patagonia. Tschurtschenthaler is dependent on the support of sighted people, but he gives his partners other - unusual - insights into mountaineering. The second topic also offers unusual insights: Thomas Hainz is on the wintery Stilfserjoch road. The fairground in the Ortler group is completely quiet in winter. This was not the case after it was built 200 years ago. The road was also open in winter. Book author Arthur Grei looks back on extraordinary historical events on this old connecting road to the Valtellina.
