Living 30 miles from Lyon, in the foothills of the Alps, François Bernard is a professional mountain guide. He has worked in extreme environments all over the world, but one day he realised it was time for a change. He bought a yacht — not for himself, but as a group asset. He sailed it up to Greenland and moored it in a harbour whereupon it became a community hub and HQ for a slew of outdoorsy visitors. François went back to France and rounded up base-jumpers, climbers, circus performers and more, inviting them to make the most of this spectacularly inspiring idea. A brilliant project and part of this year’s roster of content that is about something far more subtle than simple ‘outdoor life’.
