The Alps from above

The Alps are the most populous mountain range in Europe. Whilst filming a story about the danger of avalanches with the ski patrollers of Grindelwald in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland the Mountains team took to the air to capture these breath-taking shots of two climbers scaling the Mönch ridge. Hans Rudi-Gertsch and Lorenz Frutiger are mountain guides and veteran climbers who have both conquered the North face of the Eiger.
