Private Project

Les Cimes Étoilées

Chamonix. A summer night. Julian looks at the stars. He thinks about them. About those who don't have words to tell their dreams. So he will climb for them.

Julian Mendez is an ultra runner and amateur mountaineer. He has been dreaming about a superhuman adventure for a while: connect and climb three major summits of the Alps using only his feet: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn and Eiger. This journey is 270km by foot and 17000m of elevation gain.

On July, 1st 2025, his adventure begins at the church of Chamonix, and it will change him forever.
But he is not alone. A passionate and motivated group of friend is on his side, and a little further, autistic children for whom we will raise money.
These same kids will give a much bigger meaning to his project. It’s his mental and inclusive roped party that will help him go through the toughest moments.
