Prevent avalanches

The reporter of the program Pere Renom ascends with skis of mountain to the Cap des Clòsos, a summit of the Valley of Aran of 2.417 meters of altitude, opening trace through the snow. He is accompanied by two experienced mountaineers, one of whom, Ivan Afonso, survived an avalanche 20 years ago. From this experience the reporter knows Lauegi, “Avalanche” in Aranese, a team of nivologists of the Conselh Generau d’Aran dedicated mainly to the daily prediction of avalanches. The reporter also accompanies a technician to locate capercaillie by radio tracking at the suroundings of the ski resort of Port Ainé and discovers that alpine skiing can be compatible with the conservation of high mountain fauna.
