The Last Skiers
A precious statement on the fragility of nature, told by a generation of Italian skiers who have seen the slopes they learned to ski on turn into arid, yellow hills.
[Veronica Ciceri, Director]
This documentary highlights the impact of global warming in Italy through the stories of a generation. The protagonists skied in Como in the 1990s, just before the ski resorts closed permanently. This closure is part of a larger trend, with 249 Italian ski resorts abandoned due to the climate crisis.
