In "Les Sommets Libres”, Ulrich Ndjike, a youth worker and mountain enthusiast, invites young people from underprivileged neighborhoods to explore a world that feels completely foreign to them: the Alpine peaks. For these youth, the idea of climbing a mountain is a challenge that seems as distant as Mont Blanc on the horizon.
With the support of the Club Outdoor Alpin, Ulrich Ndjike encourages them to break social barriers, guides them through this adventure, pushes them to persevere despite their doubts, and offers them a unique experience of freedom, resilience, and self-transcendence.
