Winter in den Schweizer Alpen

In winter, with ice and snow, it becomes uncomfortable in the Swiss Alps even for the animals. While marmots retreat to hibernate in the protective burrow, ibex, chamois, mountain hares and bearded vultures stay awake even in the cold season. These animals have developed special abilities to withstand the barren and adverse conditions at an altitude of up to 3000 meters. In the Swiss National Park in Graubünden, they remain undisturbed in winter. Park rangers and researchers are the only ones who are allowed to be out and about in the high mountain landscape even in winter.

Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the Aleutian Peninsula, in what is now Lake Clark National Park. Using color footage he shot himself, Proenneke traces how he came to this remote area, selected a homestead site and built his log cabin completely by himself. The documentary covers his first year in-country, showing his day-to-day activities and the passing of the seasons as he sought to scratch out a living alone in the wilderness.
