The Alpine Seven

About The Alpine Seven

"The Alpine Seven" – seven iconic alpine lake crossings, over 330 km total. A challenge to show the world what resilience truly means — to raise awareness for people living with an illness. Because no one should hide because of an illness. Diagnosed with cancer in 2016, Bernhard understands what it means to face the unexpected. Every stroke he swims is for those who feel they must stay silent — out of shame or fear. This journey isn’t just about endurance. It’s a call for awareness, a tribute to resilience, and a spark of inspiration. The Journey: 1. Lake Attersee (20 km) – June 20, 2025 -> done 2. Lake Constance (64 km) – July 12, 2025 -> done 3.
