According to Le Dauphiné, for the PGHM, the day was also marked by 5 other interventions. In particular the rescue of an 8-year-old child who fractured his femur.
During the day, the PGHM performed several rescues : at the Grands Mulets refuge for an epileptic fit, in the Flégère ski area for a dislocated shoulder and in the Tour ski area for a fractured tibia.
