Cerro Mercedario 6.770m. The world's highest rideable peak

Return to Beyond the Peaks, from January 9 to 18, 2026. The theme of the 29th edition is "Snow?". A rich program of events awaits you!

On Saturday, January 17 at 6:00 PM, at Palazzo Crepadona, there will be a meeting with biker Giovanni Mattiello titled "Cerro Mercedaio 6,770m. The world's highest peak", in memory of Andreas Tonelli.

The documentary of a journey that takes us to Argentina for the first ascent and descent by mountain bike of Cerro Mercedario, among the highest peaks of the earth that can be traversed from top to bottom!

Andreas Tonelli and Giovanni Mattiello, accompanied by Luca Putzer (filmer) and Julia Kremer (support and safety), carried out this expedition in February 2025, following the Inca trails as they climbed to pay homage to the gods for the water provided by its great glaciers. Ten days without any services or contact with civilization, where the rhythm of life aligns with that of nature, with the sole thought of climbing a little higher, closer to the sky.

The meeting will be conducted by Francesco Vascellari, moderated by Mirko Forti.
