Nico Valsesia - From Zero To Monte Bianco - Summit
In the early morning of a middle summer day of 2013 the ultra-athlete Nico Valsesia reached the summit of Mont Blanc (4810 metres). But Nico wasnât an alpinist like the many others with him that morning. He conquered the highest summit of Europe after a no-stop riding almost 17h long, started the day before by bicycle from a beach in Genoa. The first Mont Blanc 24 hour record was beaten by Marino Giacometti in 1997 (23hrs) and subsequently by Andrea Daprai in 2008 (18 hrs 58â). From that day on, Nico launched the project âFrom Zero ToâŠâ and continued to add records and summits (Aconcagua, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro). âSummitâ tells all the efforts that Nico and his team have made for making possible this epic challenge.
