The Mountain Rescuers: Season 17 brings dramatic returns and new conflicts!
The fans of “The Mountain Rescuers” can rejoice! The popular series will air its 17th season on October 30, 2025 and, as usual, promises gripping stories from the everyday life of an Alpine rescue team in Ramsau am Dachstein. Since 2009, the ZDF series has thrilled viewers with a mixture of dramatic rescue missions and profound personal fates that take place in the picturesque Alpine panorama. The new season includes seven episodes, two of which were already produced in 2024, and will therefore promise the usual excitement. Will there be turbulent operations again this time? We can be excited!
Especially in season 16, numerous dramatic twists caused excitement: paragliding accidents, avalanches and the crashed cash-in-transit truck kept viewers in suspense. Illustrious events, such as Frederik Falkner's fatal fall and Markus' love confession, which was rejected by Alex, already set a high emotional standard for the coming episodes. The characters now also need new stories, and two popular characters are returning: Mia Steiner, played by Lisa Junick, and Leon Dörfler, whose role is taken on by Marinus Hohmann. Rumors suggest that a possible romantic relationship is brewing between Mia and Leon - an aspect that will certainly captivate some fans.
Characters and challenges
While the relationships between the characters are also examined intensively this season, in the first episode the protagonists have to deal with a complicated death that reopens old conflicts. Markus and Alex, who still have to work together after a private separation, are faced with the challenge of pushing their personal problems aside. How will your working relationship develop?
In addition to these internal conflicts, the team led by Markus Kofler, played by Sebastian Ströbel, also has to contend with other personal setbacks. His friends Tobias Herbrechter and Emilie Hofer also have to overcome challenges, both professionally and privately. The cast of the new season is as follows:
- Sebastian Ströbel als Markus Kofler
- Markus Brandl als Tobias Herbrechter
- Luise Bähr als Katharina Strasser
- Robert Lohr als Michi Dörfler
- Michael Pascher als Rudi Dolezal
- Stefanie von Poser als Emilie Hofer
- Heinz Marecek als Franz Marthaler
- Viktoria Ngotsé als Alexandra Winkler
- Nicholas Reinke als Dr. Nick Aichstetter
- Sonja Kirchberger als Elisa Rödder
- Tina Engel als Monika Winkler
- Felix Everding als Lukas Schlosser
- Steffen Groth als Lorenz König
- Lisa Junick als Mia Steiner
- Svenja Wasser als Maren Prädel
- Sportinteressierte Zuschauer erwarten seit langem eine Rückkehr ehemaliger Charaktere, die jedoch in der neuen Staffel nicht auftauchen werden.
What remains of the old days? Some familiar faces who have been around since the first season will no longer be part of the project. Including the popular actor Michael König and many others who provided exciting moments in previous seasons. The series takes on a breath of fresh air while at the same time focusing on complex problems such as cohesion and responsibility. These themes are not only essential to the characters within the series, but also resonate with viewers who can identify with the emotional moments.
Viewers are called upon to prepare and get excited when the new season of “Die Bergretter” starts on October 30th. Until then all we can say is that it will definitely be exciting!
