Heidi is an orphan girl living in Switzerland just over 100 years ago. Her aunt, Detie, who has looked after her for several years, is offered a domestic position in the city and feels she can no longer look after her. She takes Heidi to lodge with the child's paternal grandfather, known as Uncle Alp because he lives (alone) high up in the Alps. Initially resentful at having a young girl billeted on him, Alp gradually adapts to the arrangement and instructs Heidi in the ways of mountain life - its flora, making cheese, tending the animals - and encourages her friendship with Peter, an eleven-year-old goatherd who lives further down the mountain.
