A 25-year-old woman died late Sunday morning. She fell from a cliff of about forty meters while she was doing a route of the via ferrata of Thônes. In the Aravis massif, the course is classified as extremely difficult. The young athlete died instantly. Her friend who accompanied her was transferred to the Annecy-Genevois hospital center, in a state of shock. The two young women are from the region.
The privileged accident track
An investigation was entrusted to the PGHM of Annecy. The track of a malaise or an accident is for the moment privileged. No other climber precipitated the fall of the victim. And no hardware failure was found.
