The author, who is a philosopher, a psychoanalyst, and a member of "Italian Alpine Club" (Club Alpino Italiano [CAI]), in this commentary briefly reflects on Sándor Ferenczi’s 1897 paper published - in the first worldwide translation - in the previous pages of Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (2018, 52, 1: 51-54). The author discusses some particular affective states with which the young Ferenczi, who at the time was 24 years old, explains the motivations of hiking, and contextualizes Ferenczi’s thinking with respect to the developments of mountaineering and to the greater explanatory power given to it by psychoanalysis, to which Ferenczi indirectly contributed.
