Mountain Villages – unique worlds in alpine seclusion. In their rustic appearance, they often seem unaffected by the changing times. But the life of the people here has changed fundamentally in the past few decades. The documentary series „Mountain Villages of the Alps“ tells about the challenges, our globalized world is facing. The cinematic journey leads to beautiful mountain villages across Austria and South Tyrol.

Based on tradition – several generations live under the same roof, grandchildren draw on what their grandparents laid the foundations for and yet go their own way. All farming families have one thing in common: a love for nature, cultural value and unique traditions that their homeland has to offer. They have dedicated themselves with love and passion to preserving their traditional customs and thus provide an invaluable service, but always with a view to today’s challenges and giving the following generations not only firm roots, but also strong wings for the future.
