From satire to horror

by Sebastian Müller 03/19/2021
The omniscient algorithm also keeps offering me Jan Böhmermann. In his latest piece of satirical investigative journalism, he exposes the ignorance and corruption of the Tyrolean cable car industry, elegantly drawing analogies of failure in the event of a disaster, from the gondola fire in Kaprun to the Corona Cluster (I & II) in Ischgl.

In addition, Arte, 3Sat, BR and ORF also have worthwhile and critical documentaries on economic and environmental issues in the Alps, as they are also increasingly discussed on PG. Probably the most political edition of VdW has been created. We wish you informative entertainment!

ZDF Neo Magazin Royal - Ischgl and Corona

The Alps as a fairground

A very comprehensive documentary about the management of the Alps, Alpine tourism and the cultural landscape of the Alps. The usual brilliant and perceptive commentaries by Reinhold Messner and Alexander Huber are juxtaposed with absurdly contradictory comments from nouveau riche hotel managers and former alpine farmers. It's well worth listening to. Some of the pictures are terribly creepy anyway.

Snow of Tomorrow

"You can never have enough snow cannons."
"We need to become more effective in snowmaking!"
"Almost everywhere in the Alps, winters on the mountains have become colder over the last 30 years. The snow conditions have hardly changed either." [Günther Aigner, ski tourism researcher, minute 35:44]
It's also interesting how often people here talk about the Lord God and Peter, and of course the Snow Pope, Lord of the Snow and Mr. Holle...

Ski safari by train

A tip from my mom: really cool and nicely done how ski touring by public transport is shown here. The advantages are many! Clean! Ciao mom! (Unfortunately, it can't be embedded, you have to click on it!)

Encore: Tommy Tellerlift and the Fangzauner Schneebrunzer - "Ischgl-Fieber"
