“My mother – says Petra Cola – is a sports teacher, my brothers and I grew up with “bread and sport”. I have practiced many disciplines, athletics for many years. Growing up, I found that my interests were a little different than many of my peers: at the Saturday night disco, I preferred to be woken up at dawn for an outing in nature. My interests then mixed with those for photography in high school, a time when I was studying graphic arts. Reaching the summit on my legs, with sweat and effort, is an emotion I can’t feel in other contexts. But the beauty of the mountain is that it is accessible to everyone, everyone can reach the top at their own pace ».
