In autumn 1862, three enthusiastic students founded the second oldest mountaineering association in the world - the Austrian Alpine Association. After 150 years of eventful history, the association has always remained true to the basic values of the founding period: To spread knowledge about the Alps, to promote love for them and to facilitate their 'journey'. The most important founding member Paul Grohmann is portrayed by the well-known actor Simon Schwarz, who is also a member of the Alpine Club and a mountain friend in 'real life'.Climbing locations

Questions are kept in mind: what impelled and drove the people into these extreme landscapes, onto such dangerous heights? What do they get from the mountains and what do they do to the mountains? These questions are the basis for this two hour documentary. This is the first film which takes a unique and comprehensive approach to this extensive subject. There is no commentary necessary, as the protagonists giving their account of the cultural history are experts in their field and quite charismatic personalities. This documentary film is not only conveyed through the lavish pictures or alpinistic enthusiasm, but through the individuals narrating each chapter.Climbing locations
