The Heritage of the Alps

<p>Understanding the cultural area of the Alps, preserving the unique mountain nature and preserving it for the future - that is what Felix Neureuther, former world-class ski racer, is passionate about. Because the Alps are changing rapidly. The climate crisis is gnawing away at the glaciers, biodiversity is in danger, rockfalls are threatening settlements. Yet the mountains are not just a recreational area for millions of holidaymakers, but have been shaped by alpine farmers for thousands of years, with a variety of crafts, music and cuisine. As an ambassador of the mountains, Felix Neureuther explores the secret knowledge of the Alps with experts such as Sven Plumber and alpinist Simon Messner and shows innovative, future-oriented solutions to enable the next generations to lead an excellent life.<br>Felix Neureuther was accompanied by Peter Neusser, who captured the journey to the various stations in great detail in pictures.
