Stephan Keck

Always aiming high despite keeping both feet firmly on the ground: Stephan Keck, born in Schwaz in Tyrol 1973, is an extreme mountaineer, expedition manager, mountain guide, entrepreneur, photographer and, despite all his adventures, also the caring father of two children and a real family man. Ever since he was a child he has always felt comfortable in extreme environments. Whether on eight-thousanders in the Himalayas, balloon-skiing in his local Alps or going on a six-month African road trip with the entire family in a converted truck. He’s experienced temperatures ranging from minus 48 to plus 47 degrees celsius and was above the magical eight-thousand-meter limit nine times – always by fair means.
