For three years, Géraldine Fasnacht prepared to ride one of the Alps’ most elusive lines: the 55-degree northwest face of Nordend. Accessed by ultralight aircraft and descended by snowboard, this bold feat pushes the limits of high-altitude flight, freeriding, and mountain mastery.
On June 13, 2024, Géraldine became the first to land at 14,000 feet on Nordend’s glacier, then rode the face and flew out. NORDEND is a stunning portrait of precision, passion, and what’s possible when flight meets freeride.
