An Ode to Dwelling and Excessive Peaks With Alpinist Dani Arnold

“In my life, I’ve seen many places all over the world,” Dani Arnold says (auto-translated), and you know he means high summits and mountain valleys. “But I think that, really, what’s closest to home isn’t appreciated enough.”

Of course, appreciating home is pretty easy for Arnold: it should be. Maderanertal, an alpine valley in the Swiss canton of Uri, is nothing short of an alpinist’s paradise.

So enjoy yourself as you pore over this love letter to the valley’s possibilities — from one of its closest and most avid admirers.
