Le Alpi l’arco occidentale: Piemonte vette e valli

Directed by

A golden eagle is circling above a group of climbers on the top of a towering rock on the Rocce Nivalet peak, in the Gran Paradiso mountain range: symbol of a film dedicated to the relationship between man and mountain. There is a continuous sequence of pictures that tell about sports exploits (the climb of the Becco Meridionale della Tribolazione) and show us the communities of autonomous cultural groups (the Walsers, the Occitane-Provencials and the Waldesians). Last but not least, we are shown the magnificent Monte Rosa, the true giant of the Alpine range, with an exhaustive description of its beautiful glaciers and mountain huts.
