Album Description
In the air above Switzerland, on the sheer rock-and-ice wall known as the Eiger, an American climber is about to embark on the most perilous and meaningful ascent he has ever undertaken: an attempt to scale the legendary mountain that took his renowned father's life. Against a backdrop of overwhelming natural beauty,The Alps is a true-life story of extraordinary courage. It's the intensely personal journey of a man who has every reason not to climb the deadly Eiger North Face (the most difficult climb in Europe), yet climb it he must. Featuring some of the most spectacular giantscreen imagery yet seen, the film celebrates the unsurpassed beauty of the Alps and the indomitable spirit of the people who live there.

Customer Reviews

Awesome
I have many Documentaries. This one is by far the best. The Blu-Ray display is exagerated, and when they look at a straight drop, you may feel ill. They travel through Europe and scale many Mountains. FUN!

Really great work !!
Hey you! the owner of HD Tv and Blu-ray player.
Don't hesitate to own one of this, The Alps .
We watched several times again and again in a week.
We had seen Alps in Switzerland before but now We think we never saw before.We must go again when possible.

Great Film!!
This film takes you directly into the ALPS. You feel like you have been in Switzerland after watching the film. The story of of climbing the Eiger is very well done.
