It counts among the mountain massifs with the highest number of caves in the Alps. This film portrays the land and people and considers aspects of mountaineering as well as of natural science and the cultural and economic characteristics of this area. The spectators are led to dizzy heights. They learn about traditional climbing methods and the camera follows the footsteps of the top climber Albert Precht.
