Nature: The Alps

The Alpine region, known as "Europe's Roof," is characterized by its wild mountains, extreme environments, but also an enchanting world. Spanning eight countries, this majestic mountain range reaches heights up to 4,000 meters above sea level. With a length of 1,200 kilometers, the Alps serve as both a connecting bridge between western and eastern Europe and a formidable barrier separating southern and central Europe. The mountains act as an immense water reservoir and continental watershed, supplying countless rivers that flow into three major seas. Many peaks steeped in legend and history, such as the Matterhorn, Grossglockner, and Mont Blanc (the highest),stand tall against snowy summits. Vast river valleys and extensive forests cover expansive areas, while craggy summits and rugged canyons dot the landscape. Despite extreme local weather conditions and unpredictable seasonal changes, a diverse animal world has evolved to thrive in its habitat. Notable species include Eurasian lynx, griffon vultures, ibexes, and marmots. The 2-part nature documentary offers insights into their lives through stunning visuals, showcasing the incredible variety of landscapes, flora, and fauna that make the Alps a unique natural treasure at the heart of Europe.
