Conference: “On the edge of life: a history of mountain rescue” - Blaise Agresti
活动日期
2026年2月24日, 星期二 小时小时分钟 和 小时小时 之间.
On the occasion of the exhibition “History of Mountain Rescue,” Blaise Agresti will give a lecture tracing the evolution of mountain rescue organizations.
Since Balmat and Paccard's first ascent in 1786, the history of mountaineering has been closely linked to mountain rescue adventures. From the media-covered rescues of Vincendon and Henry to the adventures of René Desmaison at Les Drus and Les Grandes Jorasses, how is the present rooted in the past? What are the major milestones in the professionalization of rescue operations? How are rescue operations organized today? Former commander of the PGHM (High Mountain Rescue Team), mountain guide, and author of several books, Blaise Agresti takes us on this long journey through more than two centuries of adventures and misadventures.
