From their spectacular creation to today’s numerous daredevil climbers, this film deals with this history of the Alps, which are Europe’s most powerful mountain range, and have marked men and nature. A long time ago, the first pioneers, herdsmen and treasure seekers have conquered this mountain wilderness, which is now home to 14 million people. At the beginning of Alpine settlements, we encounter the most famous prehistoric mountain dweller, Ötzi. In the course of their history, the Alps have developed from a once hostile barrier to a place of desire and a symbol of untouched and pure nature.
