Pyrénéisme d'hier et d'aujourd'hui
Laurence Fleury (2019)
The word Pyrénéisme was invented by Henri Beraldi at the end of the 19th century. Its definition is not summarized as the practice of mountaineering in the Pyrenees. It is a sporting approach to the mountain accompanied by artistic or intellectual activity. In addition to questioning current mountaineers about whether they consider themselves pyrénéistes or not, the film is also a great tribute to the Pyrenees.Pyrénéisme d'hier et d'aujourd'hui

Les Frères Ravier - L’aventure pyrénéenne
Maryse Bergonzat (2007)
Jean and Pierre Ravier have opened almost all the 'classic' (difficult) routes in the Pyrenees. Strung at the waist with a few flat knots and little material, the two twin brothers made more than 200 first ones throughout the massif. A unique style and commitment, a state of mind made up of adventures, literature, inventiveness and friendships. Unclassifiable and welcoming, after 60 years of Pyreneism, their desire for the mountains is intact. When does a race start? How does the idea, the desire come from it? What sense does it make to realize only the first ones? And what is the role of the Pyrenees themselves in this mutual and endless game of attraction?Les Frères Ravier - L’aventure pyrénéenne
