Ibex, too, have surprising ways of getting through winter. Even though they live in the high mountains year-round, they don’t appear to like snow at all and prefer to avoid it at all cost. In the cold of the winter nights, their body temperature decreases to save energy – their legs now only measure a meagre 15 degrees. While this would mean certain death from exposure for other animals, it allows the ibex to manage its energy requirements and survive here.
These and other astonishing winter-stories lie at the heart of this film, illustrated with stunning and captivating images that bring the impressive wildlife and spectacular scenery to life. Breath-taking aerials give us a bird’s-eye view of remarkable landscapes while amazing locations even take us on excursions below the ice.
But even the toughest winter is over at some point and gives respite to fauna and flora. This is when chamois seem to express their joy at the return of spring with wild leaps and bounds. Marmots, on the other hand, have no time for such extravagance: their summer is so short, that the males waste no time and sometimes even mate with females that haven’t come round from their hibernation yet. For them, spring and summer are nothing more than a chance to prepare for their next fight for survival in the tough winter months of Grisons.

Guard dogs are famous for their loyalty and love to their charge.

The higher the altitude the longer the wait for spring to arrive. For some hibernations it's high time for them to wake. The momots, seldom have time for lengthy relaxation. Spring time is preparing all over for winter, which can be strikingly beautiful

The wolves are great hunters in the snow, the only reason they go down is because that’s where the prey goes to feed easier on grasses under snow, not as deep as in the higher mountains!
