High in the Swiss Alps, a centuries-old way of life keeps one of the most famous natural landscapes intact. The species-rich mountain meadows of Grisons are not untouched wilderness, but a fragile man-made ecosystem shaped by generations of high-altitude livestock grazing. Without summering sheep and goats, dense forests and invasive alder shrubs would quickly erase this vibrant habitat. Today, traditional mountain farming faces unprecedented pressures. Fewer young locals take on the intense solitude of herding, forcing Swiss farms to rely on migrant shepherds living months at a time 2,000 meters above sea level. From grueling multi-day cattle drives up vertical rock faces to clever zero-waste wool initiatives, this story follows the dedicated people and animals working to save Switzerland's iconic alpine pastures. Experience the harsh beauty, ancient farming traditions, and massive conservation efforts keeping this high-altitude landscape alive.
