Romolo Nottaris (born July 9, 1946 in Lugano, Switzerland) is a Swiss rock climber, mountaineer and author of documentary films.

Climbing career

Romolo Nottaris is an adherent of the "Alpine style" of mountaineering (i.e climbing without high altitude porters, fixed ropes and oxygen masks). In 1978, he founded "New Rock", a trading company for mountain equipment. With the profits of this company, Nottaris financed his expeditions and sponsored other mountaineers like Ueli Steck[1] and the brothers Anthamatten.

In 1983, Nottaris organized the first expedition from Ticino to the Himalaya. He returned several times to the Himalayas, and in particular with Erhard Loretan and Jean Troillet. Apart from the Himalayas, the Alaska mountains, Patagonia, and Antarctica are the regions where Nottaris organizes expeditions and makes documentary films.
