With a thematic arrangement and a certain chronological background, disparate situations are combined that fit together like a precise puzzle. Although the main focus is ski mountaineering, there are also multiple references to hiking, canyoning, and mountain biking, forming a diverse and indissoluble amalgam. This work offers an agile and varied narrative that shows a range of intense sensations, where mountain activities move between the magic that surrounds them and desire, the authentic catalyst for the passion for the mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriol Guasch i Terre invites us on an intimate journey through more than half a century of mountain experiences. The book does not follow a strict chronology, but is organized by themes, harmoniously combining very diverse episodes that, nevertheless, end up fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. Ski mountaineering is the main activity that structures the story, but other disciplines such as high mountain hiking, canyoning, and mountain biking are also explored. The author claims a constant duality: on one hand, the magic that surrounds the natural environment and the lived experiences; on the other, desire as the engine that drives the passion for the mountains. It is an agile and varied narrative that prioritizes emotion and personal sensation over technical anecdote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe passion for ski mountaineering as the backbone of a life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe duality between the magic of the natural environment and desire as the driving force of adventure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal evolution and the search for intense emotions through different mountain disciplines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe intimate connection between the mountaineer and the landscape, narrated from a subjective and emotional perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe combination of activities such as hiking, canyoning, and mountain biking as part of the same passion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for mountain lovers in all its forms, especially for those who practice or are curious about ski mountaineering.
