JustWatchJewels of the Alps
The lakes of Italy’s far north are known for their enchanting allure. This series explores the five largest of them – Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Iseo, Lake Lugano and Lake Garda. They are born of glaciers and are unique in Europe as the juncture of two contrasting worlds: a place where Alpine and Mediterranean environments meet. Each film shows a unique natural environment in the cycle of the changing seasons and introduces us to local people with a special connection to the lake. Sophisticated helicopter footage gives a bird’s eye view of the remarkable features of the terrain – from the Alpine peaks to the flat plain of the Po River Valley.
