THE ALPS

Mystical and fantasy tales

An episode from the series LEGENDS OF EUROPE

Synopsis

The alpine summits serve as a frightful and magical background adorned with stardust, a.k.a. the edelweiss, enchanting fountains, populated by fantasy animals and strange creatures.

The great cultural and linguistic diversity of the Alpine arc is at the origin of legends that have been passed on in oral tradition.

The animals that can be found vary according to the regions: the Zlatorog chamois in Slovenia, the Macun Dragon in the Swiss National Park, the Coulobre in the Luberon, the Spina de Mul sorcerer in the Dolomites, and the Dahu in the western Alps.
