Taking on the World, One Adventure at a Time
It all started with mountaineering & country walking, which snowballed into a thirst for ice-climbing and long-distance ski touring. In 2003, Patrick became the first Luxembourger to reach the North Pole.
Patrick’s underlying ambition is to embolden his fellow explorers to push themselves for their next adventure. The best trip is always the next one. But the dream? Antarctica.
