Der Alpenkönig kehrt zurück
Il ritorno del re delle Alpi
The king of the alps returns
Like no other animal, the mountain goat occupies a unique place in Alpine imagery, legends, beliefs, superstitions, culture, and popular medicine. Its strength, elegance, and impressive set of antlers have always fascinated people. The best examples of mountain goats are found in the Gran Paradiso National Park, where this species enjoys special protection (granted by the House of Savoy in 1856). The mountain goats have found an ideal habitat here in which to reproduce. The film documents the life of these animals and offers incredible images of their mating rituals in addition to exciting footage of male competition for female attention.
