16 May 2024
I enjoyed very much this excursion in Savoie: beautiful landscapes and nice encounters.

There are some interesting aspects of this region: the slack line at the Rocher des Deux-Têtes ( Chloë Roux-Mollard and her discovery of the slack line ), the female mountain rescuers ( Marion Poitevin-the first female rescuer of the C:R. S. rescue team-, also she is mountain guide, Fanny Rezig another mountain rescuer: the tourists and the ski mountaineering), the wooden ski maker Peter Stelzner ( the old mill of the 16 th century, the fire and the mutual aid of the neighbours and friends), the former ski champion Cédric Amafro-Broisat (the accident, the prothesis, the collaboration with Clélia Compas-Association Yambi-, the skiing lessons for the "demandeurs d'asile",-the free transport and hiring of the ski equipment and the volunteers for the teaching), the newcomers in the Savoie ( Caroline "Caz" Clapham from New Zealand, the restaurant "Le Petit Hibou" at Peisey-Nancroix", the cheese store of Catherine Scalia, the French and British clients-the cheeses and the lamb meat-, the Swedish chef David Lilieroth at the Mumma Restaurant of Chamonix-the touch of Asian cooking-) , the yoga practice and the cold water bathing at the Cascade de la Fraiche ( Caroline Favre , the importance of the meditation and the breathing, the virtues of the cold water), the survival training at the Lac de Tignes (Alban Michon-the survival trainer, Loris and Thibault learning ice-diving and and other survival techniques), Enak Cavaggio alias Rancho (the professional skier and the character of Rancho in his videos, the Freeski Academy, the free-ride training of Axel and Oscar) and the "Massif des Bauges" ( Carole-chargée des missions forestières- and the relationship with the forester Vincent, the mayor and the lumberkjacks, Audrey-chargée de mission agriculture-the cattle breeder family and the sustainable farming, Richard-chargé de mission milieux naturels- and the paraglider Philippe: the monitoring of birds of prey and the creation of "zones de quiétude" where the birds are nesting).

I enjoyed very much the encounters of Ismaël with the mountain climber Liv Sansoz, with Fiona Malagutti and Nicolas Depoorter (the cystic fibrosis and the practice of the sports for a better breathing), with Thibault Liebenguth at the Plateau des Glières, with Carrie Wilmot at the frozen lake near Samoëns, with Célia and Lucie Benaud (the goats farm) and the wine maker Jean-Baptiste Humbert-Célia's husband- at Cruseilles; nice encounters with very kind Savoyard men and women.
