Kelli Saar
The mountains are a place where I can be the best version of myself. I spend every summer in the Alps with a camper van climbing peaks and organizing trips. Over the years, I have realized that the more you adventure and gain experience, the greater your thirst for adventure grows. And the better you get to know yourself.
One of my long-term goals is to climb all 82 4000m peaks in the Alps. Although I am more interested in technical peaks, I occasionally venture to higher altitudes in remote corners of the world. I value the challenge and excitement of the route more than simply reaching the summit.
Both on trips and in my private life, I try to follow the principles that you need to work hard to achieve your dreams and that you won't progress by sitting in your comfort zone. At the same time, you also need to listen to your body from time to time and give it time to recover, so that you can then face new goals with renewed energy. The most important thing is that the journey offers pleasure and invaluable memories for a lifetime!
In addition to mountain climbing, I actively provide mountaineering and climbing training to prepare you for the mountains to the maximum. As a side job, I am also active in the marketing landscape - I produce content for several companies, including elamus+ and Matkasport.
