Fall into a crevasse in Argentiere Glacier

The PGHM Rescuers were highly mobilized on the Argentiere glacier area at the top of the ski area of the Grand Montets, where a skier had a fall of over 20 meters into a crevasse. A miracle because he only broke his pelvis The alert was given around 12h. Fortunately the man was not alone. It must be said that this part of the glacier and off piste skiing is currently highly popular. It took nearly two hours to rescue the victim, he had hypothermia and a seriously injury in the pelvis. The person was transported by helicopter to the hospital of Annecy. Last night he was out of his hypothermia and he was no longer in danger. Le Dauphiné
