In the splendour and harshness of the last high-altitude sanctuaries, chamois, eagles, wolves and other wildlife share a habitat. With only sparse commentary, the narrative takes us through the seasons, from one autumn to the next. For much of the year, this barren kingdom is dominated by snow and ice. Balancing on sheer cliffs, soaring into an infinite sky and roaming through mountain forests, the animals’ paths inevitably cross. Resourceful and with unerring instinct, they master the greatest of all challenges: staying alive.
