In the mountain wilderness of the Austrian Alps, a young red deer calf will be tested before he cam claim his place among the kings of the mountains. Through summer, fall, and a grueling winter, join the little prince on his first journey through his realm, learning his first lesson about survival in the face of cold, hunger, dangerous storms and lightning strikes. Featuring panoramic scenes of lush landscapes, Prince Of The Alps ventures high into the mountains, where chamois and ibex are at home on nearly vertical cliffs, marmots emerge late from hibernation, and red deer must prove their agility. From the surrounding towns and villages come cars, hunters, skiers, hikers and pet dogs, all of which further threaten the survival of the red deer herds.
