The choice of the festival

The confidences of a Chamonix legend. Admired and respected by all, Aurélien has followed a remarkable path, as straight as the curves he has drawn on the Mont-Blanc massif since childhood. This gifted skier has won everything with disconcerting ease. Bertrand Delapierre followed him on an itinerary worthy of his character, a complete traverse of the massif via steep slopes and high peaks. As usual, Bertrand films and accompanies the adventure with ease. Aurélien took the opportunity to invite his old friends: Stéphane Dan, Léo Slemett and Luc Alphand… The icing on the cake, the skier reveals his next dreams, far from the summits.
