Extreme athlete Christian Bruckner conquers the seven highest peaks in Austria!

Vorarlberg, Österreich - Christian Bruckner, an extreme athlete from Vorarlberg, has prepared for an impressive adventure. On June 12, 2023, he will start with the project "Seven Summits Austria", in which he wants to climb the seven highest peak of the nine Austrian federal states within just five days. The start takes place at the Piz Buin (3,312 m) in Vorarlberg, followed by other challenging climbs, including the Großvenediger (3,666 m) in Salzburg and the Großglockner (3,798 m) in Tyrol/Carinthia. The tour will include a total length of over 1,000 km and over 20,000 meters of altitude, whereby the route between the mountains is covered both on foot and by bike, reports the Kleine Zeitung .

Bruckner radically changed his lifestyle around 20 years ago. Earlier known as an anti -sporter, he started at some point with activities such as hiking and jogging. Since then he has developed into a versatile sport indicator that also contests triathlons and Ironman competitions. It was not until 2019 that he completed an extraordinary bike challenge from Austria to the North Cape in just nine days. With his current challenge, he not only wants to demonstrate his sporting skills, but also serve as inspiration for people who want to change their lifestyle, christianbruckner.at .
