The Schnalser Goaslschneller (Schnal- stal Valley whip crackers) will demonstrate this age-old tra- dition. Slackliner Alexander Schulz: “I’ve always been fascinated by the moun- tains, and hiking, climbing, skiing and kayaking were my main sporting passions until I came into contact with a slackline for the first time in 2008 and a new world opened up to me, in terms of sport and also mentally. In a short space of time I found myself pushing the boundaries of slackli- ning. Because high lining is a team sport and my complex slackline projects could only be carried out in a group, I have the support of my team, Once Inch Dreams. In the Schnalstal Valley, I want to break another world record together with my team and walk the longest slackline over water”. Ötzi’s Anniversary 25 years ago, on 19 September 1991, Ötzi the mummy was discovered in the Schnalstal Valley. September is, therefore, all about Ötzi, the Iceman. The 19th September 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the disco- very of what must be the most famous mummy in the world by Erika and Helmut Simon on the Tisenjoch pass.
