Philippe Batoux and Michel Fauquet, a mountain guide and teacher at the National School of Ski and Mountaineering, will let you discover the role of a mountain guide through beautiful scenery, filmed in the mountains at the heart of the action. But also through the historian guide Claude Gardien and Bernard Prud'homme, guide and former director of the Chamonix tourist office. These two witnesses tell us about their vision of this professional activity through time and economic conditions while projecting into the future, without forgetting the climate change of our planet and its impact on the business. François Marsigny, in charge of the ENSA mountaineering department, describes the current training course for guides.

In Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc, passionate mountaineers, families, the Hautevolee and locals meet. In the high season, everything revolves around mountain sports - and the highest mountain in the Alps at 4,810 metres. Around a thousand people try the ascent every year - ten of them pay for it with their lives. Many of them underestimate the less difficult normal route from the Goûter Hut. But crevasses, weatherfalls and avalanches often mean fatal dangers. '360° Geo Reportage' has visited people whose lives are closely linked to Mont Blanc.

The documentary narrates the difficulties and enthusiasm of a trained expedition to Everes along the South Mountain Pass on the Nepalease side.
