 Every year, 120 million people ski and climb the 80,000 square miles of the Alps, Europe s greatest mountain range. Unfortunately, every year hundreds of people die enjoying this beautiful wilderness because they re unable to survive the potentially fatal conditions at heights sometimes reaching 15,000 feet. Armed with a knife, a water bottle, a cup and a flint, Bear parachutes into the Alps to demonstrate vital survival skills. From a radical new technique to save lives in crevasse zones to building a snow shelter and showing viewers how to escape from a fall into a frozen lake, Bear puts his own skills to the test in this ultimate survival challenge.
