Mountain Rescue Chamonix Mont Blanc

First English mountain rescue guide to Chamonix, Mont Blanc for mountain book
and general readers. The rescues come in all types – mountain walkers with
twisted ankles, penniless Eastern Europeans, lost schoolchildren, heart attack
victims. Often a recipe for disaster resulting in the full range of high
accidents, tragedies, and high mountain ailments (snow blindness, altitude
sickness). Anne Sauvy always tries to accentuate the positive taking pleasure
from near miracles where the rescuers swift and skilful actions save stricken
victims from almost certain death. Sauvy’s findings are thus exciting, moving,
inspiring and thought-provoking.
