Into Altai

37m
This film takes us deep into the Tavan Bogd massif, nestled in the Mongolian Altai Mountains.
Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq, and Victor Daviet share a common passion — not only for the mountains, but also for exploring remote and unfamiliar lands.
Tavan Bogd — literally “The Five Sacred Mountains” — refers to a group of peaks steeped in symbolism and legend.
For two weeks, a yurt will serve as their base camp, allowing
them to explore this little-known massif on skis and snowboards.
But what are they really looking for in these mountains?
