Alpinists Marc Toralles and Bru Busom have starred in the opening of the 17th Colonya Mountain Film Festival of Palma, held at the Xesc Forteza Municipal Theatre after the event had to be postponed due to the DANA Adam.

Catalan mountaineering has made history. Bru Busom, Marc Toralles and Rubén Sanmartín have been awarded a Piolet d’Or, the most prestigious international recognition in mountaineering, for the opening of The essence of commitment, a new route on the east face of Yerupajá (6,634 meters), in the Peruvian Andes. It is the first award of this category granted to a Spanish ascent, a milestone that vindicates the exploration, autonomy and commitment of this route.

The Galatzó refuge hosted the 1st Symposium on Hiking and Trekking in the Balearic Islands on Saturday, a meeting organized by the Balearic Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing and the Colonya Palma Muntanya Film Fest with the aim of promoting collective reflection on the present and future of this sport in the Archipelago.

The 16th edition of the Colonya Palma Muntanya Film Fest (PMFF) will turn Palma and other locations in Mallorca into the epicenter of mountain cinema and culture from October 18 to 28. The event, established as a benchmark event on the island's cultural calendar, arrives with a program that combines film, literature, and debate in a "fresh and innovative" edition. This year, twenty films from eleven countries will be screened, twelve of which will compete in the official section. Four of these titles will be released for the first time in Spain.
