A solo experience in the Alps. Erik goes up the Vanoise massif to spend a winter alone at a height of 2500 m. Camouflaged in white, he carries his photographic equipment on a sledge and crosses the white expanse to observe nature in the heart of winter. Various species of fauna, such as chamois, steinbock, partridge and hare, are uncruelly caught by the camera.
