About the Weger Brothers
Growing up in Schenna, South Tyrol, Jakob and Matthias Weger found kayaking expeditions more thrilling than family hiking trips. Dissatisfied with the limitations of professional kayaking, they left the national teams after Matthias won three European Extreme Kayak titles and Jakob became U23 World Champion in Olympic slalom.
Now, they're often in the Dolomites and globally, engaging in skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, biking, climbing, and kayaking. Their content creation skills have won them the GoPro Million Dollar Challenge four times and helped them build a social media community of over 900,000 followers, sharing their adventures.
About Jakob
Jakob Weger, born in 1998 in Schenna, Italy, is a multisport athlete excelling in kayaking, snowboarding, and paragliding. Transitioning from a U23 World Champion kayaker, he now focuses on snowboard freeriding and paragliding.

About Matthias
Matthias Weger, born in 1996 in Schenna, Italy, is a passionate extreme kayaker and outdoor enthusiast. From childhood, he engaged in skiing, mountaineering, and paragliding. Along with his brother Jakob, he has produced notable mountain films like "22 HØURS – Arctic Dreamlines," screened in over 100 cinemas.
Matthias has won three European Extreme Kayak championships and a third place at the World Championships. His earliest memory, kayaking in Corsica at three, sparked his enduring love for adventure. Living in South Tyrol, he enjoys the pristine natural scenery, local food, and the freedom to blend high-energy sports with filmmaking.
"Alpine Worlds" is a new YouTube format that immerses its audience in alpine adventures, created by the Weger Brothers. Whilst focusing on authenticity, quality, and entertainment, it's bringing viewers closer to the action than ever before.
Great adventures are difficult to share through 8-15 minute video episodes. That's why Matthias and Jakob share their experiences additionally to the Alpine Worlds video series in an extended form through the Alpine Worlds Podcast.
Together with fellow athletes, friends and other inspiring people they recap their adventures and share exciting stories in their authentic, down to earth and entertaining manner.
