Overview

At night, a convoy of tractor crawlers rattle through the snow to groom the ski slopes. Just under 3000 metres in altitude, excavators dig into the ground using dynamite to build a reservoir for the preparation of artificial snow. Concrete blocks of apartments are springing up everywhere, while elsewhere in the mountains, young people have long since moved away and old people talk about how their hometown no longer has a future. Too many regions in the Alps have become dependent on hopelessly commercialized skiing. In PEAK, Hannes Lang observes the invasion and hostile takeover of the Alps by ski tourism and introduces us to the people affected: winners and losers, enthusiasts, sceptics and lost souls.

Peak - Über allen Gipfeln

Taglines

Overview

Skifahren – eine der beliebtesten Freizeitsportarten im Winterurlaub: perfekter Pulverschnee, Sonne, Berge, frische Luft und am Abend feiern beim Après Ski. Vor allem in den Alpen hat sich der Massentourismus ausgebreitet und prägt das dortige Landschaftsbild. Doch das Paradies kränkelt. Durch den Klimawandel und die resultierende Schneearmut ist ein massiver Einsatz von Technik notwendig, um unabhängig von natürlichen Wetterbedingungen eine perfekte Winterlandschaft zu produzieren. Das heutige Gebiet der Alpen ist zu einem bizarren Hybriden aus Technik und Natur geworden, gleichzeitig aber auch zu einem Spiegelbild unserer Gegenwart. Die Skigebiete müssen technisch ständig aufgerüstet werden, damit der Ski- und Snowboard-Tourismus weiterhin auf seine Kosten kommt. PEAK beobachtet über ein Jahr lang die Bau- und Produktionsprozesse rund um den Ski-Tourismus und offenbart, was den Wintertouristen sonst unter der dichten Kunstschneedecke verborgen bleibt.

Peak - Un mondo al limite

Overview

Centinaia di migliaia di turisti giungono nel bianco paradiso delle Alpi, il diffuso turismo di massa lascia tracce indelebili nel paesaggio. A causa dei cambiamenti climatici e della mancanza di neve è stato necessario sviluppare imponenti mezzi tecnologici per produrre un paesaggio ideale svincolato dagli eventi di natura. Il paesaggio delle Alpi è ormai divenuto uno sconcertante ibrido di tecnologia e natura. Questo documentario segue le modifiche del paesaggio e le tracce inestinguibili lasciate dalle invasioni degli uomini, osservando per un intero anno il processo di trasformazione delle Alpi, scoprendo tutto ciò che è abitualmente nascosto ai turisti invernali sotto uno spesso manto di neve artificiale.
