Deadly avalanches have been increasing in the Alps since the start of winter. They caused 28 victims between the end of December and mid-February, more than for the entire previous season. The high mountain gendarmerie platoon (PGHM) is on the front line facing these tragedies to provide assistance in the most dangerous and complex situations at altitude. Our reporters spent several days immersed in this unit, whose rescue operations are particularly exposed: at the time of filming, 67 of its members had died in intervention or training since the creation of the PGHM in 1958.
