People living in the Alps are also anxiously awaiting spring. The Imster Schemenlauf is a traditional parade to drive out the winter.

As spring struggles to break through, blooming flowers may be preserved in ice. Meanwhile, the male grouse tries to attract potential mates.

The segment features more footage of the alpine black grouse, as well as a festival held by the local religious community in the valley of Kals.

This episode comes with spectacular views on Austrian lakes and introduces the daffodil festival in Grundlsee.

In this segment, we see how the churned butter is put into a traditional wooden mold, take a look at some more farm animals, and catch a glimpse of the "Daberklamm," an alpine gorge.

Up in the mountains, a vulture and an eagle fight for their territory while conservationists watch closely. The series ends with a view of the Venediger Group, a famous high mountain range.

In this segment, we explore the beautiful landscape around the Staller Saddle mountain pass, visiting alpine roses, a pack of magnificent stags, and a traditional tavern where local farmers carry out their negotiations.

In this segment, we visit quaint settlements, a chapel carved into a rock, and a waterfall that seems to disappear into the earth, all at the foot of some of the tallest mountains in Europe.

In this segment, we finally glimpse the peak of the Großvenediger. Back down in the valley, families make hay without the usual farm machinery.

Whitewater rafting and kayaking are very popular but also very dangerous sports in the Alps. Here we see some remarkable footage of a few daring individuals making their way through the thundering rapids.

Canyoning is another popular activity in the Alps, but it isn't for the faint of heart. In a glorious natural setting, the group faces some tough passages and harrowing jumps over waterfalls.

As autumn approaches, the sheep are brought back to their winter quarters. In this segment, we also see how beautiful the region is in the evenings.

Autumn in the Alps brings with it all kinds of new sights: the woolly sheep are rounded up by their owners, the larches are ablaze in color, the squirrels prepare for winter, and the mating battles are in full force among the stags.

In this video, we get to observe the mating rituals of the chamois, and how a mother protects her young from a fox on the hunt.

The autumn is short-lived in Vorarlberg, and soon the mountain landscape is blanketed in snow. The ibexes are provided with feeding stations to ensure that they survive the winter.
