Philipp Reiter
Alpinist
Philipp has been out and about in the mountains since he was a child - climbing, mountaineering, trail running, on his mountain bike, or on touring skis. At the age of 14, he took part in a ski touring race and has been passionate about mountain sports ever since. After many competitions and a few titles (trail running & ski mountaineering) all over the world, Philipp discovered his passion for photography during an injury break and has since been a "roving reporter" with his camera to capture unique moments at fast paces.
