Synopsis

Gita, une gardienne de chèvres, vit dans un petit village alpin. Elle pratique l'alpinisme pieds nus et le ski. Toni, un montagnard, la courtise, mais sans aucun succès. Gita sauve de la noyade Michael Treuherz, un séduisant millionnaire qui désire l'épouser. Cependant Toni, jaloux, fait échouer ce projet. Une compétition de ski étant organisée, elle décide, par boutade, de s'offrir comme trophée. Michael Treuherz, équipé d'une combinaison de ski gonflable afin qu'il puisse résister à de lourdes chutes, gagne la course à laquelle même Pippa, la chèvre préférée de Gita, a participé, chaussée de skis.

Dr. Johannes Krafft (Gustav Diessl) and his bride Maria are spending their honeymoon mountain climbing in the Bernina Alps in southeast Switzerland. While climbing the north face of Piz Palü in the strong föhn winds, the loving couple's guide Christian (Christian Klucker) warns Krafft not to be cocky in this dangerous environment, but the doctor dismisses the warning. Just then a violent avalanche descends on the couple, the safety rope breaks, and Maria is swept down into a deep crevice in the Piz Palü glacier. Despite his wife's initial cries for help, Krafft is unable to reach her in her icy grave. Krafft spends the next years wandering the mountain alone like a ghost, looking for the body of his lost bride.

Après des vues idylliques de la vallée embrumée, Arnold Fanck montre l'acheminement des compétiteurs et des spectateurs par le chemin de fer rhétique et leur arrivée à Saint-Moritz. S'ensuivent des vues des sommets du massif de l'Engadine, du Piz Bernina et du Piz Palü. Après des vues sur les sommets empreints de sérénité, Fanck montre des sportifs qui skient en altitude vêtus uniquement d'un caleçon. Dans la vallée, les sportifs se préparent fébrilement (quelques séquences sont au ralenti) et présentent les nouveautés technologiques comme cette nouvelle fixation pour chaussures de ski.
