Visite du cimetière de Chamonix

We will go back in time to the town of Chamonix, closely linked to its alpine environment. And the very first thing we notice is the extreme simplicity of the graves.
We will remember the heroes of mountaineering such as Edward Whymper, Louis Lachenal or Lionel Terray. We will stop at the vault of the guides of the Compagnie des Guides whose names recall the tragic fate of men who "fell" in the exercise of their profession. We will evoke those that the war has taken up there in the mountains. We will discover these young "non-Chamonixers" passionate about mountaineering and who fell on our summits. We will stop in front of the wall covered with plaques in memory of "those" whose bodies have never been found. It will also be an opportunity to remember Simond, Payot, Ravanel, Couttet, Frison Roche and so many other professionals or amateurs who have made the history of this very special valley.
A visit to the cemetery will allow us to evoke this very special world that is the Chamonix valley
