What if you conquered the peaks in a different way? During an escape game, discover the inspiring journeys of women who have shaped mountaineering history, from the Bolivian cholita climbers to Saray Khumalo. Map in hand and puzzles to solve, you can explore these stories from around the world, outdoors and as a team, while questioning the representations of femininity throughout history.

An escape game 

Discover the true stories of inspiring women from around the world who, each in their own way, have made their mark on the history of mountain exploration!
Equipped with a map, a compass, and with a mission to solve riddles, the teams (formed on site on the day) will set off to discover the "cholitas escaladoras" of Bolivia, Emma Gatewood of the United States, or Saray Khumalo of South Africa...
Through the lens of pioneering women in the mountains, participants will individually and collectively question representations of femininity throughout the world and throughout history.
Some language elements in English are planned to facilitate the participation of international audiences.
