For over 25 years, Dario and Sabine Schwörer have been sailing across the Seven Seas with their six children, towards the Seven Summits, and traversing all of the world's climate zones. Throughout their expedition, they document the effects of climate change, collaborate with universities and researchers, and advocate for concrete solutions for a more sustainable future.

Their adventure is truly unique, covering over 135,000 nautical miles with long ocean crossings and expeditions through both icy regions and tropical climates, including unique and extraordinary nautical achievements:

  • First Swiss yacht to participate in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race
  • First yacht to cross the Northwest Passage to Hudson Bay
  • First yacht to complete a full circumnavigation of Svalbard

Dario Schwörer will be present at the event. At the end of the presentation, he will be happy to answer questions, provide information, and engage in discussions with the audience about the TOPtoTOP project. The evening will be conducted in a dynamic, multilingual format (Italian, German, and English), making it suitable for all sailing, mountain, and nature enthusiasts.
