EVEREST 1953: THE FIRST ASCENT IN LILLE

JOIN THE EXPEDITION

Tenzing Norgay, Edmund Hillary, the Sherpas who carried the mountain on their backs, and the four hundred men and women who made one summit possible

TENZING NORGAY THE SHERPA

TENZING NORGAY
This was his seventh expedition to Everest. He climbed not to conquer the mountain, but to complete a journey begun as a boy.

EDMUND HILLARY THE CLIMBER

EDMUND HILLARY
A beekeeper from New Zealand, more at home among mountains than crowds. Ice axe in hand, he carved the final steps to the top.

Those who carried it THE TEAM

Those who carried it
Twenty tonnes of equipment, carried on foot for 280 kilometres by Sherpas and porters.

EXPERIENCE THE ASCENT

Altitude. Cold. Fatigue. Vertigo.

THE ICEFALL
A river of collapsing ice, crossed on rope ladders that move beneath your feet.

COLD, THIN AIR COLD, THIN AIR

THE GLACIER
Blue walls, thin air, and a cold that never leaves your hands for six weeks.

THE FINAL ASCENT
The last ridge before the summit, where every step costs three breaths.

THE SUMMIT
The last ridge before the summit, where every breath costs double.

History you walk through, not watch

EXPERIENCE IT FROM WITHIN

The story comes first. The technology is how you live it. Free-roaming VR means no seat, no controller and no screen between you and 1953 — you walk, you climb, you look down.

  • FREE-ROAMING | Move freely through a 400m² set built as the mountain itself.
  • PHYSICAL | Cold air, wind, vibration and pressure cues your body reads as real.
  • TOGETHER | Roped to your own team, exactly as the 1953 climbers were.
