The Red Bull X-Alps tells the story of the 2011 adventure race, the toughest and greatest on earth! Thirty athletes from 22 nations raced 864km across the length of the Alps, from Salzburg to Monaco armed with just a paraglider and a pair of running shoes. All the action is caught in this documentary — from epic mountain flights to terrifying take-offs in atrocious conditions. Witness the exhaustion and elation of the athletes and be blown away as they soar past iconic peaks of the Alps in their bid to reach the Mediterranean sea — and Red Bull X-Alps glory!
