A film titled 'Battle glacier to salvage famous stratosphere' shows workers recover the gondola of the balloon that carried Professor Auguste Piccard into the stratosphere. Workers pull the gondola across snow covered region of Tyrolean Alps in Obergurgl in Austria. They attach a sledge to it and pull it. Some people get on top of gondola and celebrate its recovery.
Skiers compete for a trophy offered by explorer Auguste Piccard in gratitude for his rescue near Obergugl, Austria after his stratosphere balloon had fallen last year. Skiers ski on the Otztal Alps. Jennewein Schoepf wins the Piccard Ski Cup.
