2:33 pm
comes along with them plus the noise and the emissions they have an effect on the countryside and in addition to the enormous power consumption there are other factors that harm nature and biodiversity and then up destroying what people come to the alps for in the 1st place. nature scenery and relaxation. sustainable relaxation is the business of hotel buildings in locks that were made from local materials and designed to be energy efficient. the writer's hotel was conceived to impart to his sketched a holistic consciousness the minimalistic interiors are meant to reject a throw away mentality. that is about your example here we have broken glass those chairs from their very sustainable they'll never lose their value because they never break if they do we can get the parts to fix them. is furnished with vintage pieces and the restaurant only offers vegetarian dishes.

birching or cuts back on c o 2 by cooking with the electricity supplied to the hotel by hydro electric and solar power plants. even so barbara voser isn't impressed. to death given to people spend thousands of francs for this i think the 1st i think the most important thing is to respect your surroundings we have to preserve our bond with the nature we have here to see it and experience. turner is in the soft valley about 30 kilometers from locks. they have let with barely $100.00 inhabitants simple guest rooms to tourists. the toll lift is powered with solar energy. in the show for gregor is one of 10 as residents he's committed to developing low impact tourism. and yes this is
2:35 pm
turn a solar lift the 1st in the world solar power is pulling us up the mountain what we're as authentic as we can manage so. what we offer is what we have here and the way we live year round. but. most of the tourists who come to tend their arrive by bus revenue by car that helps cut down their carbon footprint but not all skiers can go to small resorts like 10 of the big winter sports hubs have to take action to. just one pursue they can improve on what's already there with small initiatives not just might set an example and in that way contribute if even a little to more sustainability. of course it's all for show nowadays sustainability has become a lifestyle choice and businesses cater to their guests needs that gift and we're already thinking about the youngest generation the protesters and such eventually

chef phil campbell works by the principle of less is more. as we spend so much fun sourcing our our products we just like to allow the crowd that can crowd to do all of the talk and we don't want to mess around with a garner shared we don't want to serve it with anything with the exception of just a little bit. of garlic and lemon butter and this just helps to give a bit of acidity and earthiness which compliments the crowd very nicely. with the help of a q.r. code each king crab served here can be sourced back right to where it was hauled up from the depths. so it's really interesting they can think your head and something that really would have a struggle the day it was there for the patient it was mission at hand and one of the mildest in the fishermen admitted his mates in playing visualize a kind of an ocean near the north pole where the power was trying to fish there and
2:38 pm
it really gave a story to the map they were easy close by call. the king crabs are caught in the waters off north or norway from the fishing village to ghana's around 500 kilometers north of the arctic circle they're shipped all over the world. here the freshly caught crabs are tagged and kept in huge tanks until they're ready for shipping we treat grubs. very good here like a fly for a while then when the cops come here they go but they don't confess they get relaxed to see him he said don't see here they are getting the. good quality water inside and we change them once twice every day to make sure the big. have everything all been new so they can be fresh i live a good quality. posts crap feasts for tourists he catches the dinner himself and special crab traps using fresh fish meat as paint
2:39 pm
. how goes it the crabs we catch range between $3.00 and $3.00 and a half kilograms so if you've got $200.00 of them you can just imagine how heavy that is the in the 2 then they take up lots of space because they're so big. it's not so much their weight as their huge water resistance that we have to overcome. when king crab can weigh up to 17 kilos with a lake span of up to one metre 18. investigations originated from the bering sea off precious come check a peninsula in the 1960 s. russian scientists introduced them to the barents sea to service a protein rich food source for the locals and an absence of any natural enemies the crab spread as far as norway there they became something of a tourist attraction. in the fjords are frozen over the crab fishers
2:40 pm
drill holes into the ice to lay their traps the freshly caught crabs are then cooked for 10 to 15 minutes in salty water at 60 degree celsius and served with melted butter or cocktail sauce. and you see i like the juice a lot this will see. that. you are saying here you live the. most liquid water. in london to die news have developed a taste for this fine delicacy and the tracking option kits that all a modern flair haven't transparency the food is so good because the thing is as soon. we've become so disassociated with food navigates we've got a supermarket you know we pull out whatever we go yeah ok this we can actually see the full journey it's important for me i want to know where my food has come from and how it got here you know i don't i want to have
2:41 pm
a greater depth and reverence for the whole process from norway spar north to the core i'm a tables around the world the king crab is a color merry tale worth telling. next we head back to the snow. this time for a bit of an adventure your own max reporter max merrill took on a celeb ing challenge in austria and now it seems as sledding is becoming a popular alternative to skiing in some winter resorts so max decided to take this pastime to another level by entering a race and he shows us that this kind of sledding is anything but child's play. i mean 14 kilometers it's one of the longest sled runs in the world and close to quite a unique race my mission is always is to take part even though i'm a complete novice. anyone can enter but the event attracts the best toboggan it's
2:42 pm
nice all on an impressive pieced everyone makes it down sooner or later it's just a question of how when growing up my for you for winter activity was going to programming but anyone who thinks it's all child's play never been to this race. takes place in the austrian town of but i'm back on rather than the beach club and . i came a day early to get in the afternoon test run i've even hired a sled i'm like skiing there's no special training but i'm still not left to my own devices cole is a passionate toboggan honest i'm deleting all thought. when it comes to sled drums . this wouldn't get going to has existed for a long while but how long exactly how did this tradition start as a box in the well the 1st sled race was held in davos around 889 and since then the
2:43 pm
classic davos lead has been developed into a more flexible one with movable runners that makes it more of a dynamic piece of sports equipment and it's more fun to ride. accompanies me down the now dark pieced luckily this is the world's longest lived sled from. after a good night's sleep i'm up to register for the race and get ready. is also taking part and certainly more confident than i am and it was a cold night which means the piece of me perry slick what sort of speed in kilometers per hour might get about 60 or 70 in the quickest sections of good. that's seriously fast. i've got a pretty good view from up here and it seems daunting.
2:44 pm
but it seems like i'm the only person worried the other participants young and old alike are all looking forward to the breakneck speeds. that you guys can that's the level i was basically born on a sled that. you can be bought from the notice look for me it is the best when a new earth or better you bet best the world's best best ever it let's just break if you get to fast enough i get a quick crash course on how to brake and steer i mean commit to flop brakes with your feet flat on the ground on to steer you push the runner with your full. put on the all the inner steel cable and lean into the curb if you can pull. off we go every 30 seconds the next competitor takes off. 100 people are
2:45 pm
racing against the clock. to conditions today are great really a bump in sight i'm starting to pick up some real pace much sooner than our thoughts but i can brake and i'm slowly starting to trust my steering skills. well that was amazing sometimes it was a little bit like riding a wild animal sometimes a bit like driving a speeding car without any brakes i did get used to it a little bit before by the end and i feel really good now. in the end pretty much everyone was faster than. needed just 14 minutes for 14 kilometers my time was about double that but i've already set my sights on my next winter adventure. i wanted to see my ex-wife. are you can see more of his adventure on our youtube channel. this source of light is always important when it
2:46 pm
comes to painting but what happens when an artist chooses to paint in the dark german painter to look at zilker borg heads out in nature to as she puts it see the unseen well even in the dead of night she still manages to bring nothing to life in the landscape around her well we went along to see the results. the silk asuka board works through the night and outdoors. equipped only with a gas lamp a compass and a paints and brushes she seeks out isolated spots where she can paint the night sky . while most people lie snug of their beds she gets to work sometimes 3 or 4 nights a week the circumstances allow. the thought we often have spot on my list i often ask myself why do i paint the night. but it's simply
2:47 pm
a realm of experience that daytime can't offer all the things i see in daylight or just so much distraction. and enough at night to see more surfaces than textures i see more nothing than anything. in that mists it's a seer and so i have the freedom to interpret it any way i want and i'm set up to teach the subject she's painting this particular night as the 1st complex of the law in a works there leipsic with all its refineries and chemical plants. why not just join is just so extremely illuminated. it's lit up like a festival and the best benoist of. not many places are truly dark at night since the introduction of electric lighting cities an industrial areas are as bright as

day even in the dead of night. this light pollution or light smog the strips are sleep and the saurians many nighttime creatures. lists walk i'm a violent i feel ambivalent about light smog because from an artistic perspective i find it interesting and attractive. but from the standpoint of reason of course i know it's a disaster. the buildings of a former cotton mill in leipzig provide space for artists like the internationally acclaimed painter nero. also has her studio here. she generally doesn't show up until the afternoon she sleeps through most mornings and often will make it a bit before 4 am the next day. the works that take shape overnight in the field get their finishing touches here. and thank when i start out i think this is crazy what am i doing this is absurd.
2:49 pm
but when i'm on site i forget about all the effort and i become part of the night. before last and then last night on the. i'm absolutely fascinated by how the night swallows everything up looked on and suddenly makes the tentacle become intangible . when soca 1st started painting the night 10 years ago she was trying to find out how to perceive the surroundings. later she better own lightning books and paper the night sky in various places from portugal in the south of europe to denmark in the north. with dark ties in with a long tradition in the arts. the martyr her foot museum in western germany is holding an exhibition titled in the spotlight of the night life in the globe and looks at how various artists interpret night and how electric light has
