Kilian Jornet says it himself: his sequence of 7 summits around Romsdal, in Norway, is “probably [his] most impressive day of skiing”. Understand: extraordinary. Judge for yourself: seven summits, that is 76.5 km and 9257 m. of ascent, all in 21h28. This is simply enormous, even for the Catalan prodigy, who lives in Romsdal. Here is the video of Kilian Jornet.<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”48px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”800px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

H<\/span>e knows the mountains of Romsdal, Norway, well. And for good reason, that’s where he lives with his partner Emelie Forsberg. Kilian Jornet has regularly made headlines by opening impressive lines on skis: because of their height and commitment, they are undoubtedly among the most impressive ski descents of recent years, at Fiva and Breitind. This is solo mountaineering, as Kilian told us in March.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 6, Kilian Jornet set out to ski the seven main peaks of the Romsdal Alps: Juratind (1,712 m), Store Vengetind (1,852 m), Kvandalstind, Romsdalshorn (1,550 m), Store Trolltind (1,788 m), Kongen (1,614 m) and Dronninga (1,544 m). These peaks are comparatively low in altitude to the Alps, but their starting point is often at zero altitude, that of the sea. In the end, the figures would make a hardened marathon runner dizzy: Kilian Jornet covered 76.5 km and 9,257 m of positive altitude difference in 21 hours and 28 minutes on skis or crampons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_2,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/strava-killian-jornet.jpg” title_text=”strava-killian-jornet” show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ text_font=”Merriweather|900|||||||” text_font_size=”16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Kilian Jornet was accompanied on some sections of his link-up, but he was the only one to have covered the whole. He announced that the wind was part of the party, and added spice to this day XXL. Kilian Jornet also listed the equipment he used. Among other things, he was equipped with a pair of Moonlight skis in 79 (a Norwegian brand specializing in light skis), with two pairs of skins, on the boot side he had his Gignoux Black (cocorico!). On the technical side, a 60m 5mm rope and a screw carabiner to do some rappels.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, a minimalist kit for an outstanding performance. We hope that Kilian gave himself a day of rest after this ultra ski-mountaineering race, which would be the equivalent of doing the 4 stages of the Pierra Menta in less than 24 hours…<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/5mPHUP8tCaU” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Kilian Jornet l'annonce lui-m\u00eame : son encha\u00eenement de 7 sommets autour de Romsdal, en Norv\u00e8ge, est \"probablement [sa] journ\u00e9e de ski la plus impressionnante\". Comprenez : extraordinaire. Jugez plut\u00f4t : sept sommets, soit 76.5 km et 9257 m. de d\u00e9nivel\u00e9, le tout en 21h28. C'est tout simplement \u00e9norme, m\u00eame pour le prodige catalan, qui a \u00e9lu domicile \u00e0 Romsdal.

Et pour cause, c'est l\u00e0 qu'il a \u00e9lu domicile avec sa compagne Emelie Forsberg. Kilian Jornet a ainsi r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement d\u00e9fray\u00e9 la chronique en ouvrant des lignes impressionnantes \u00e0 skis : de par leur hauteur et leur engagement, ce sont sans doute parmi les descentes \u00e0 skis les plus impressionnantes de ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, au Fiva et au Breitind. C'est de l'alpinisme en solo<\/em>, comme Kilian nous le confiait en mars<\/a>.\n\nLe 6 avril, Kilian Jornet se lan\u00e7ait dans un encha\u00eenement de sommets \u00e0 skis, soit les sept sommets principaux des Alpes de Romsdal : le Juratind (1 712 m), le Store Vengetind (1 852 m, point culminant), le Kvandalstind, le Romsdalshorn (1 550 m), le Store Trolltind (1 788 m), le Kongen (1 614 m) et le<\/span> <\/span><\/b>Dronninga (1 544 m). Ces sommets sont comparativement aux Alpes peu \u00e9lev\u00e9s, mais leur point de d\u00e9part est souvent \u00e0 l'altitude z\u00e9ro, celle de la mer. Au final, les chiffres donneraient leur vertige \u00e0 un marathonien endurci : Kilian Jornet a parcouru, \u00e0 skis, ou crampons aux pieds, 76,5 km et 9 257 m de d\u00e9nivel\u00e9 positif, le tout en 21 heures et 28 minutes. <\/span>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_4,1_2,1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"1200px\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/strava-killian-jornet.jpg\" title_text=\"strava-killian-jornet\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" align=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" width=\"100%\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" text_font=\"Merriweather|900|||||||\" text_font_size=\"16\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" border_style=\"solid\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n\n\u00a9Kilian Jornet \/ Strava\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/strava_jornet.jpg\" title_text=\"strava_jornet\" _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/killian-jornet-strava_0.jpg\" title_text=\"killian-jornet-strava_0\" _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"800px\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"0|0px||0px|false|false\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" text_font_size=\"16px\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]\n\nKilian Jornet s'est fait accompagner sur certaines sections de son encha\u00eenement, mais il est seul \u00e0 avoir parcouru l'ensemble. Il annonce que le vent \u00e9tait de la partie, et a ajout\u00e9 du piquant \u00e0 cette journ\u00e9e XXL. Kilian Jornet a \u00e9galement \u00e9num\u00e9r\u00e9 le mat\u00e9riel qu'il a utilis\u00e9. Entre autres, il \u00e9tait \u00e9quip\u00e9 d'une paire de skis Moonlight en 79 au patin (une marque norv\u00e9gienne sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e dans les skis l\u00e9gers), avec deux paires de peaux, c\u00f4t\u00e9 chaussures il avait ses Gignoux Black (cocorico !). C\u00f4t\u00e9 matos technique, une corde de 60m en 5mm et un mousqueton \u00e0 vis pour faire quelques rappels.\n\nBref, un kit minimaliste pour une performance hors du commun.
