Avalanches in the Alps: Embedded with France's mountain rescue teams
This week, France in Focus takes to the skies to follow the perilous work of French mountain rescuers. This year, unusual weather conditions have led to a deadly winter with far more avalanches than usual. Tragically, 28 lives were lost in the French Alps between late December and mid-February – far exceeding typical seasonal averages. FRANCE 24's Jonathan Walsh and Joanna Cockerell head to the Savoie region to see how highly skilled teams are responding to the challenge.
