The body of a 36-year-old man was found on Sunday, August 25 above the town of Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, in the Hautes-Alpes, by the Isère high mountain gendarmerie platoon (PGHM), reports France Bleu Isère.
The thirty-year-old was a wingsuiter, a suit that allows you to fly by jumping off a cliff or a summit. It was his family who reported his disappearance to the emergency services.
On alert since the day before, the PGHM discovered the man’s body on the morning of Sunday, August 25, near the summit of the Aiguille du Plat de la Selle in the Ecrins massif, where he had left for a journey. His body was repatriated by helicopter to Alpe d’Huez.
