20 Minuten Switzerland: Eagle Hunter Bazarbay on the Front Page | LIQUI MOLY Extreme Altai Tracks to Eagle Hunters
Switzerland’s most-read free daily newspaper, 20 Minuten, placed the story of Bazarbay — a 34-year-old Kazakh eagle hunter living in the remote valleys of western Mongolia — on its front page (30 September 2025). Bazarbay practices a centuries-old tradition passed down through five generations, training golden eagles for hunting over roughly five years before releasing them back to the wild to start their own life.
The feature connects this living cultural heritage directly to LIQUI MOLY Extreme’s “Altai Tracks to Eagle Hunters” tour: an off-road adventure by 4×4 or motorcycle through the Altai mountains, steppe, and taiga, with authentic encounters with Kazakh eagle-hunting families. Tourists witness the stunning landscapes of Mongolia’s Altai region while learning the ancient art of hunting with eagles.
The article illustrates how responsible adventure tourism supports the preservation of Mongolia’s semi-nomadic traditions while creating extraordinary experiences for international travellers — reaching one of Switzerland’s largest daily readerships in a single issue.
