GEIERWALLY

The Movie

In the middle of the 19th century, in the wild, untamed mountains of Tyrol, a girl grows up who defies the unspoken laws of tradition: Wally, daughter of the most powerful farmer in the valley, loves nature more than her home, climbing more than knitting—and a man she is not allowed to love.

The famous Geierwally returns as a blockbuster. Visually stunning, uncompromising, and touching, the movie tells the story of a woman who became a legend based on a true story. It's an Alpine epic that gets under your skin. Stronger, more authentic, and louder than ever before.
