After 19 years, the mountains in the Valle d’Aosta between the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa again hosted the Mezzalama Ski Mountaineering Trophy on 3 May 1997. This memorable contest at an altitude of 4000 metres was founded in 1933 and held until 1978. On a beautiful day, which even further highlighted the magnificent mountains forming the backdrop for the event, the RAI TV cameras provided the first live broadcast of a Ski Mountaineering contest. The documentary is a tribute to the competitors and the organisers of this unique competition in a splendid natural setting.
