Torsten Ingerslev
Passion for Sports and Nature
“From a young age, sports and nature have been my great passions. Today, I feel happiness and relaxation when I can venture into the fascinating mountain world with skis, mountain bikes, or hiking boots.
In the past, I was able to combine my love for nature and sports with my scientific work as an expedition leader for wildlife projects in Norway and Greenland. Whether I was tracking Norwegian lynx and reindeer or Greenlandic muskoxen and whales, exploring the wildlife was always an exciting experience.
Later, I enthusiastically taught teenagers in subjects like ecology, training theory, and physiology at a high school level. Practical outdoor teaching was particularly important to me.
And now? Now I look forward to showing you the wonderful mountain world of the Arlberg, combined with the relaxing movement of cross-country skiing. Whether you are a beginner or a pro training for the WASA Ski Race, I look forward to immersing you in the wonderful white world of the Arlberg.”

Christian Pohl
POWER man in many disciplines
My enthusiasm for sports manifested itself at an early age. At the age of 4, I climbed my first mountains with my father. By the age of 9, I began competitive sports in cross-country skiing and mountain biking. At 15, I transitioned to martial arts, specifically kickboxing, where I competed at a high level both nationally and internationally for many years as part of the national team. Due to my love for sports, I continue to engage in various other athletic activities and gladly embrace new sporting challenges.
My athletic background played a crucial role in my later career as a stuntman. In this profession, we consistently demonstrated our fitness, body control, and mental strength as we trained actors and ourselves for thrilling and action-packed film scenes.
Currently, I train and advise athletes of all levels, from recreational enthusiasts to high-performance athletes, spanning all age groups and diverse sports. I share my knowledge gained from over 30 years of experience as a (competitive) athlete and later as a coach.
It is an honor for me to be part of the Arlberg Free Moving team, and I am looking forward to an exciting and sporty time with all of you.
