Laura Dahlmeier: Dramatic crash and new heights of passion!

The former biathlon world champion Laura Dahlmeier is not only known for her sporting success, but also for her passion for mountaineering, which she deepened at the end of her career at the age of 25. In a new ZDF documentary "Laura Dahlmeier and the intoxication of the height-her life after the biathlon career", the 31-year-old athlete reveals how dangerous her new passion can be. Her father Andi, himself head of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen mountain rescue service, describes a dramatic incident in which Laura plunged on a climbing trip on the Zugspitze when a grip broke due to fragile rock. This precarious situation led to a big shock for him and a formative experience for Laura, who has since become more sensitive in dealing with stony paths, such as Merkur reported.

common passion and dangers of mountain sports

The collaboration between Laura Dahlmeier and Peter Schlickenrieder not only shows their common passion for mountaineering, but also the risks associated with this sport. In an interview, Schlickenrieder explains that Laura is not only a talented biathlete, but also a highly talented climbing, who could also show great performances in mountain sports. Dahlmeier himself describes the mountaineering as an uplifting balance to high -performance sport, where false action can have fatal consequences. In contrast to this, errors in the biathlon are less dramatic, as in Bergsteiger note.

The fascination for mountain sports brings Dahlmeier and Schlickenrieder together and inspires them to honor and fathom pioneering performances by past climbers. Her documentary about the Piz Badile not only shows exciting climbing pictures, but also offers deeper insights into Laura's personality. It becomes clear that despite the risks that mountain sport brings with it, your love for the mountains is unbroken and you consider any challenge as a valuable lesson.
