    A Few Minutes with Philipp
    What do you love about GORE-TEX products?

    Wearing GORE-TEX products, I am 100% sure that they will deliver what they promise. I never got wet wearing my GORE-TEX jacket or my GORE-TEX gloves. And when I'm outside in the mountains, this is incredibly important for my safety.


    What is your favorite place and why?

    I love the Berchtesgadener Land; it becomes a huge outdoor playground in the summer and winter. The area is perfect for road biking, scrambling and rock-climbing. It also has challenging mountain bike routes, awesome skiing and amazing running trails.


    What are your hobbies, besides your main passion?

    Outdoor photography and filmmaking. I aim to capture the atmosphere, mood and action while moving outdoors.


    What else is on your bucket list?

    Skiing in Norway and Iceland, discovering Russia with the Trans-Siberian Railway and paddling on the Yukon.


    What is your personal wisdom, what would you like to share with the world?

    The attraction of the impossible lies in the determination to eventually do it.


    Which three words describe yourself?

    Enthusiastic, stubborn, creative

     

    What one item should never be missing when you’re on top of a mountain?

    That’s easy: my camera :)
