In the coming month of March, which is full of zeal and challenges, Ferðaský – Glacier Expedition 2024 is about to go beyond the limits of the ordinary and attempt a feat with only one Italian precedent.
The team, led by Roberto Ragazzi, Stefano Farronato, and Roberto Fantoli, will face extreme conditions in an expedition covering about 180 km from east to west, expected to last 12-15 days.
Un’impresa estrema, lunga circa 180 km da Est a Ovest sull’Ice cap islandese della durata stimata di 12-15 giorni, che rappresenta non solo un confronto diretto con la Natura più selvaggia, ma anche un’importante sfida con se stessi.
The team will pull Arctic sleds across the ice, carrying everything necessary for survival. This adventure will push them beyond physical and mental limits, highlighting the strength of perseverance in the face of nature’s raw power.
Behind every epic journey is crucial support, and Ferðaský is excited to announce its partnership with Cimberio S.p.A. Valve, which will sponsor the expedition. Thanks to Cimberio’s support, the expedition will not only be an exploration but also raise awareness about global issues.
Ferðaský joins Cimebrio Valve in a shared vision of challenges and achievements, going beyond the sporting aspect of adventure, becoming a tangible symbol of determination and endurance against obstacles.
The partnership reflects Cimberio’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and tackling the toughest challenges. Together, Ferðaský and Cimberio will embark on the “From Ice for Life” charity project in collaboration with VISPE, aiming to build a water supply system in Burundi. This mission seeks to provide vital water to those in need.
Our adventure will not only be a journey through the ice and fire of Iceland but rather an explicit reminder of the threats humanity poses to Iceland’s fragile and primitive Nature.
We want to tangibly combine our expedition with a credible environmental commitment, aware of the social responsibility that such an enterprise can entail. In Cimberio Valve we have found the ideal partner to address this important challenge of the present for a more sustainable and accessible future
Roberto Ragazzi
Team leader Ferðaský
We are thrilled to support this dual mission: the sporting achievement of the team and the humanitarian effort that will build an aqueduct in Africa.
By tying itself to the aqueduct project, the Ferðaský enterprise becomes a concrete witness to the importance of such a vital element as water and aims to raise awareness of as many people as possible on such a crucial issue.
Bringing together two such different worlds-the freezing Icelandic glacier and the warmth of Burundi-shared an environmental challenge: defending water to defend life.
Roberto Cimberio
CEO Cimberio S.p.A.
We’ve known Roberto Cimberio and his company for many years, and we are confident in the seriousness and importance of this venture.
The construction of the aqueduct in Burundi will make a real difference for many people who now must travel long distances daily to fetch water.
