NEVIA | The North Face

Throughout his career, freeride skier and fully qualified mountain guide Sam Anthamatten found his way of life in guiding, helping and looking out for his community. His experience and skills allowed others to fulfill their dreams, this time he's the one in the spotlight.
NEVIA offers a glimpse into Sam's life - not as a supporting act but as the main event - and on his attempt to a multidisciplinary mission that involves paragliding from Zermatt to the Obergabelhorn north face, hiking up to the top, skiing down, and then flying back home.

[@AlbertMXG]

that paragliding take off from the Matterhorn was absolutely mind blowing

[@PPKFilms]

For someone who has followed the ski / snowboard community for a while, Sam is one of those characters that is fascinating for the breadth of what he does and the level at which he has operated for so long now. So "second row" feels like a stretch. Anyone who follows the industry knows that when his name pops up, good things are on their way. but it's nice to see a movie fully focused on him !

[@robinmueller8786]

Could have not phrased it better. Full respect for sam and any project he is involved are all time. Teton gravity counter part from Europe. With some extra 😂🎉

[@ralfhorl5932]

It was about time for a film focused on Sam, he´s just a legend... The words he choosed and his view on things are just amazing and refreshing!

[@downdaysTV]

A legend gets his due. Thanks for this TNF and Legs of Steel!

I love The North Face videos! 🥰

[@nathanhobson4015]

I'll always remember coming into an aid station during the ultraks trail run and seeing Sam's smiling face behind the food stand where he was working on his drone, and grinning when I chose the chocolate over the banana 😄 LEGEND

[@nobody6454]

„Now is the time to rethink my decisions because with a family you‘re not alone anymore.“ - quite an interesting quote with him top-starting (e.g. Running into the abyss) from the summit of Matterhorn 😂

[@WINTERACTIVITY]

Beau projet! Bonne chance pour l’an prochain, il en faut toujours un peu!!

[@ValGrollemundFilms]

We all have heroes, Sam is for sure one of mines !! An athlete so complete, an amazing guide, and most of all, one of the nicest person and kindest person on earth !! Thanks for this inspiring film Sam !! A must wath !!

[@hikesome]

Wow, breathtaking! Sam is a very inspiring person and this film is made in an epic way! Wonderful piece guys. Take care out there, Mario

[@johnroden3431]

Love this video! Awesome team and story, very cool seeing people live out their dreams doing what they love!

[@willlascelles]

An absolutely brilliant film all around.

[@simon.annies]

Sam, you have been a driving force in more of my favourite skiing content, than anyone else I can think of. Beyond the obvious ones, Ushba, Tsirku and the Faction segment with Johnny especially stand out to me. You have been among the biggest, most respected names long before this movie!

[@paintingsofwaves_mikewoning]

Great story telling. And I love that the message is (also) dare to say 'no' when you need to. Pushing too hard is too easy sometimes, saying no at the right time... I have to admit that I also loved seeing Zermatt again. All the best for Sam and his wife on the new journey

[@hobmarg]

Been a fan of, and following, Sam's pursuits for quite a while now and great to see him in the spotlight. Amazing level of skill across many disciplines with a humble attitude make him one of the most impressive alpinists/freeskier whatever you want to call him! Respect!

[@mikefoote404]

Incredible Sam and team. A beautiful story. All the best to you and your growing family!

[@CoreyWarren]

well done, guys! Lots of good lessons here, thanks for the inspiration. INCREDIBLE footage!

[@TechGearClothing]

Beautiful. Thank you for making this.

[@thephore]

Every time Sam's name pops up on a production, you know it's going to be amazing. Happy to see him in the spotlight this time, an amazing alpinist!

[@giuliamonego8943]

Great portrait and beautiful footages! Sam is the impersonation of talent and badass! in everything he does. Bravo

[@sagePerspective]

Amazing film, love seeing the potential of locking in the multiple passions to create a dream! Go get they line!

Amazing work.. A true technician at his craft. Most importantly staying humble and letting other colleagues shine first. A true Dean of extreme sports of high consequence. Great job well done!! 🐕🍕

[@patricelemay1190]

Don’t know if it was the point but that film made me feel like it's glorious to be alive ! ...thanks. 👍❄👍

[@emanuelmay4]

Been waiting such a long time for a film from Sam himself

[@StefanLungociu]

Man, what a movie. I saw it whit my daughter 2y old and my son 5y old. At the end, my son replied to me "Dad, tomorrow I wanna go on a mountain with snow." Thank you.

[@simonbrizard3426]

An absolute master of his art.

[@AIRDESIGNgliders]

Amazing person and fantastic movie! Bravo!

[@antipathiques]

Great movie, Sam is one of my favorite mountain athlete and seems to be an amazing lad

Your favorite skiers favorite skier! So rad

[@jonygq]

Amazing, I'm a complete novice and about to undertake my first ever snow peaked climb above 17,000ft. This is inspiring - nerve racking but I'm just in awe of these incredible human beings. My humble challenge begins in Jan 2023. I want to follow Sam & team and achieve those dreams too.

[@tyrionas]

Casually climbing the matterhorn at the end. i thought of that mountain of being very hard and some people just do it without ropes or anything.

[@bonusmpk]

Where I can get HQ wallpaper out of the Matterhorn views!!! Mindblowing, and Sam is such a honest man, legend!

[@XxXx-sc3xu]

Amazing! Could we get these docs in 4k in the future? The shots are stunning

[@dronalpes9705]

The fact that he does not ski it makes the film twice as good imo.

[@elliauer4848]

Hey, I truly admire these guys otherworldly talent, but , and perhaps necessarily so, underlying it all is, "I love myself veddy veddy muuuuch"

[@krisztian007]

Blows my mind that films like this get less then 4K likes after almost a year... I see my kids watching stuff that get millions of views in a few days that make me nauseated. I'll probably get 3 likes for this...🤣 Awesome job TNF!

My father is Swiss. He left that country and came to Australia when he was 10. I wonder what my life would've been like if I was born in Switzerland. I imagine I'd be a better snowboarder and better paraglider pilot.

[@Itsallgoodtogo]

Foldable skis from would make much more sense when you are flying with a paraglider.

[@ivana5240]

Elan skis have a foldable model. Interesting thought. But it's more difficult to trust skis with a weak point where they fold, I'm sure.

[@noahaecherli4978]

[@angelo9192]

Great video, but "Nevia" does not mean "snow" or "something new" in Italian (29:47)
