The Alps – A Bird’s Eye View

The Alps: A Birds-Eye View is a major project with completely new aerial
photographs of the entire Alpine chain and up to date texts from experts in
the world of geology; climate change; geography; Alpine tourism; natural
environment and more.
The book has been compiled under the patronage of UNESCO.

The Alps-A Birds-Eye View is a stunning collection of new aerial photographs
with 250 colour images (of which 200 are double spread) showing the Alpine
region as it has never been seen before in one collection. From the air,
professional photographer, mountaineer and pilot, Matevz Lenarcic has captured
the diversity of the 1200 km between Monaco and Vienna. He reveals the variety
of the region, including the contrasting Verdon gorges in France; the Mont
Blanc glaciers; the granite walls of Bregaglia, the baroque ridges of the
Dolomites and the light coloured limestone faces of the Julian Alps.
Whilst the majority of the book is devoted to stunning photography, there is a
significant contribution in text with chapters including the Alps as the birds
see them; the myth about avalanches; landscapes of wine; geology; glacier
changes; climate and expected changes; water, forests, flora & fauna;
protected areas; landscape; population; tourism. The contributing authors are
all specialists in their field and have been brought together to showcase the
Alpine region in a complete work of photography and text.

Matevz Lenarcic ist Pilot und Fotograf. In seinem leichten Motorsegler ist er
in den letzten drei Jahren unzählige Male über die Alpenkette geflogen und
kennt jeden Gipfel von Monaco bis Ljubljana von oben. 100’000 Fotos hat er aus
luftiger Höhe von den Alpen geschossen.
