THE FILM
After immersing themselves in the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, Kilian Bron and his team head into the farthest reaches of Nepal, towards Dolpo, a little-known region that is difficult to access.
Far from the usual roads, they make their way through vertiginous landscapes and hamlets frozen in time. This journey, both rugged and sincere, confronts them with the unpredictable, the unknown, and the raw beauty of an almost forgotten world.
Three themes underpin this project: remoteness, human encounters and the rediscovery of a pure spirit of adventure. Far beyond the sporting aspect, the experience reveals the sometimes harsh realities of this unspoilt valley - but for how long?
Their approach is not limited to contemplation. They get involved, engage in dialogue with the youngsters, and question their place in this fragile environment. How can we create links without imposing? How can we faithfully report on this experience and give it the right echo?
This journey is not just about spectacular mountain bike descents. It's an introspection, a living testimony and a sharing of emotions through a profoundly human adventure.
A never-before-seen 1h15 documentary, which follows on from the film "Dolomites" - to be viewed or rediscovered here:

Kilian Bron
From athlete to explorer
Kilian Bron first forged his reputation as aprofessional athlete on the Enduro circuits, where his talent and determination earned him one podium after another. It was when he left competition to explore the wildest terrain on the planet that he established himself as a unique figure in the sport.
Today, Kilian travels the world in search of uncharted spots, transforming each descent into a visual and human adventure. He stands out for his ability to combine extreme performance, creative line selection and immersion in local cultures.
Through his videos and documentaries, he shares the behind-the-scenes stories of team spirit, encounters and challenges, such as his mythical descent of the Licancabur volcano at an altitude of almost 6,000 meters.
Kilian Bron is a daring man with a passion for mountain biking, but also a determination to give meaning to every adventure, far beyond mere performance.
Kilian will be with us in Les Orres for the screening of his film Mandala! See you on Thursday August 7 at 6.15pm!
