The majestic Alpine mountains with their bold, jagged rocky peaks have always been a great source of inspiration. In ancient times, the Alps represented a physical barrier that was difficult to overcome, separating the southern and northern worlds with their brute force of the elements.
Today, the Alps are no longer an insurmountable barrier, but they still set the scale for humankind. It remains to be seen how a physically changing environment will reshape the alpine scenery and our relationship to that environment.
