Prideful castles, clear lakes and rough, snow-capped peaks. This is how the State of South Tyrol presents itself to visitors. It is the home of Reinhold Messner, the most famous mountaineer in the world, who takes the audience on a journey through one of the most beautiful mountain regions in Europe to look back on his spectacular life with conclusions about the imprint in childhood and youth through his homeland on the edge of the Limestone Alps, that made him who he is today. It is a journey of discovery through a beautiful country as well as a fascinating personality in breathtaking pictures, a life panorama of an unprecedented life in the mountains and with the mountains.

Reinhold Messner grew up with eight siblings in the Villnöss Valley in the German-speaking Italian province of South Tyrol, with the white limestone peaks of the Dolomites always in view. His mother gave him the choice of either going to church on Sundays or going to the mountains of the Alps with his father to climb. The decision was not difficult for him. At the age of only five he climbed his first 3000 meter high mountain. In his youth he mastered the ruggedest cliffs of the Dolomites together with his brother Günther and thus acquired the skills that would later help him to do the seemingly impossible and become the most famous mountain climber in the world.
