Reason

Featuring Malva Björkman

Two years ago, Malva Björkman was caught in an avalanche that changed her life. Today, she lives full-time in her van, following storms and chasing new adventures wherever they lead.

One at the top & one at the bottom

Featuring Ebba Forsgren

Åre-born friends Ebba and Anton have always dreamed of bigger mountains. When they leave Åreskutan behind and head for Chamonix, they set their sights on Mont Blanc—Europe’s highest peak, and one they had never imagined skiing just a few years earlier. What begins as a straightforward mission soon turns into something very different. Plans unravel, challenges pile up, but the experience transforms into a deeper story about friendship, ambition, and discovering what truly matters in the mountains. Mont Blanc Mission shows that sometimes the goal isn’t the summit itself, but the journey that takes you there.

Ride to ride

Featuring Henna Palosaari

What happens when you strap a splitboard to a gravel bike and head off into the unknown? For Henna Palosaari and Karen Ekman, it meant ten days of pure freedom in Norway’s Sunnmøre Alps. Ride to Ride follows their self-supported journey, carrying everything they needed on their bikes—camping gear, boards, and food—and letting nature decide the pace. Through exhaustion, laughter, and moments of quiet, they discover what happens when physical effort silences the mind and simple living brings joy. It’s a celebration of curiosity, endurance, and the adventure that begins when you slow down.

Radio Sarek

Featuring Tom-Oliver Hedvall

For over a decade, a group of skiers have dreamed of returning to Sarek National Park—Europe’s last great wilderness. In May 2025, Tom-Oliver Hedvall and his crew finally made that dream real. Together with filmmaker Elias Lundh and photographer Erik Nylander, they carried sleds, battled Arctic storms, and pitched tents far away from civilization. Their goal: to ski big mountain lines that few, if any, have ever attempted in this remote corner of Sweden. Radio Sarek is more than a film about steep skiing. It’s a story about endurance, decision-making, and the camaraderie that grows when challenges pile up. In the end, it’s about finding joy even in the struggle.

Rebound

Featuring Oskar Normelli/Måns Sjögren

When an ACL injury ended their South America ski plans, Oskar Normelli and Måns Sjögren decided to aim even higher. Just seven months after Oskar’s knee surgery, they set their sights on Cholatse, a 6,440-meter Himalayan peak near Everest. Rebound on Cholatse follows their journey into the thin air, where recovery meets reality and resilience is tested at every step. More than a climbing film, it’s a story about friendship, determination, and finding strength in the face of setbacks.

A giant at heart

Featuring Arthur Poindefert

High in the Mont Blanc massif, Arthur Poindefert, Killian Moni, and Mathis Garayt attempt a bold new route on the northwest face of the Dent du Géant. Over 500 meters of rock and ice stand in front of them, with unpredictable weather and their own doubts as constant companions. Dent du Géant is the story of three friends pushing themselves on a single-day mission that demands both strength and trust. It’s a film about passion for climbing, the joy of partnership, and the spirit that keeps mountaineers reaching for new heights.
