A young mountaineer finds himself in distress on the Blaueis Glacier. He is hiking alone when thick fog rolls in, making him afraid to go any further. The mountain rescuers immediately set off, but the fog becomes a problem for them too.

A hiker gets lost while descending from the Hochkalter and suddenly finds himself on a dangerous cliff face, from which he makes an emergency call. The mountain rescue team is alerted and immediately dispatches a helicopter. But then the situation escalates. And on another day, things get hectic: A mountain hiker suffers a painful kneecap injury while descending from the Watzmannhaus.

A dramatic call for help from Germany's highest mountain: Two tourists were caught in a violent thunderstorm and snowstorm while climbing a via ferrata. Operations like this require the utmost concentration from the mountain rescue volunteers. On another day, duty officer Willi Kraus Sr. had to rescue a mountaineer by helicopter who had fallen through a rock on the "Iron Age" climbing route on the Zugspitze.

Three friends are stuck on a steep slope on the small Watzmann mountain - rescue is only possible by air. But time is running out: a thunderstorm front with heavy rain is expected in the afternoon. This is a mission that will demand everything from the mountain rescuers.

A young man has been missing for days. His last known whereabouts: the Höllental valley on the way to the Zugspitze. The mountain rescue service launches a new search amidst old snowfields and rocky slopes prone to rockfall and finds what he is looking for. Another team from the Grainau mountain rescue service is on alert: a hiker has fallen on the Stangensteig trail.
