3. Rising

Mountain tourism as we know it today was born in the Alps. The subsequent discovery of skiing as a sport brought tourists to the mountains and created, starting in the 1960s, the custom of the 'skiing holiday' during the winter season. Franco Gaspari, an alpine guide from Cortina d'Ampezzo, introduces us to the history of mountaineering in the Dolomites and its mythological characters such as Francesco Lacedelli and Paul Grohmann, while writer Ingrid Runggaldier tackles the subject of women in mountaineering, such as Beatrice Tomasson, in which rising is not only about conquering the peak, but also about finding one's own space in a hostile environment occupied only by men.
