5th Discovery Days in Flims Laax Falera

Flims, September 15, 2022. Great emotions and gripping stories return to Flims: Discovery Days is taking place for the fifth time, and once again 18 exciting topics have made it to the final round of the lecture festival. On September 23 and 24, 2022, incredible adventures, exciting reports, and unique images from around the world will be presented at the Waldhaus Arena Flims. Awards will be given to the three best lectures, the best photography, and the best story.

They travel, take photographs, and explore with passion: at the fifth edition of Discovery Days from Friday, September 23 to Saturday, September 24, 2022, around 18 speakers will once again share their very personal stories. The topics range from the far north of Alaska and Siberia to Patagonia and South Africa, from the Balkans to the Pamir Mountains to Kashmir and the last hunters and gatherers in the jungles of Southeast Asia. As a highlight to kick things off, on Thursday evening, September 22, 2022, Harald Philipp will talk about his mountain biking adventures in the Himalayas, Siberia, North Korea, and the Alps. A highlight for all mountain sports, travel, and nature fans.

 

Immerse yourself in the world of adventure

Among the storytellers are well-known travelers to Arabia, a comedy duo, mountain athletes on skis and bikes, and a young woman searching for her circumciser in Ethiopia. It is a colorful mix of serious, exciting, and funny stories from different countries, cultures, and eras. Eighteen unique stories will amaze, amuse, and inspire the audience during the day. In the evening, the "campfire talk" offers the opportunity to ask the speakers questions and engage in discussion. It is a celebration for all travelers and invites you to dream.
