Our Third and last Couloir on Les Dents du Midi | LA FORTERESSE - Short Ski Movie
Спорт
A self-documented journey about two skiers who push their limits on the legendary Dents du Midi.
After skiing Les Dents du Midi last year, we started looking at other possibilities on this legendary mountain. Couloir La Forteresse caught our eyes right away. For us this seemed like the perfect line to push our limits and make our connection with this mountain even stronger. In April 2022 the conditions lined up, we went for a new descent from le Dents du Midi for one last time.

Thank you Anto!
Its so peaceful in the snow. Shame there will be a time without it.
Well done mates! Well gedaan! Proficiat
You guys are nuts. Positively!
Chapeau! The lines, the edits, the mixing of drone and helmet footage, just wow!
Using poles - a full profession.😝
These lines are getting insane. Please be safe out there.
Crazy adventure!! I have hiked to Haute Cime a few years ago and I know how impressive the slopes are on the north side. As a Swiss, I also like how you gave voice to a local guide who knows this mountain by heart.
I have no words for how much respect I have for trips like this. Thank you for sharing...

That was a crazy beautiful ride
Congratulations guys, beautiful work, beautiful footage. By far the most crazy (and deadly) line of the dents. That middle lock is just so scary. The adrenaline is palpable, as the relief of getting to the final exit. Glad you made it back safe. May the gods of the mountain keep protecting you :).
Hello Loic and Paul I congratulate you on this super steep ski descent at the Dents du Midi. I wish you good tours. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
WOW! Incredible adventure. Beautiful storytelling and outstanding shots.!!! Well done!
Wow - holy cow that was spellbinding! Great job guys! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This was incredible to watch chaps! Hiked Haute Cime this summer, it's an incredible place. Can't wait to see what this season has in store.

Fantastisch weer mannen, echt een genot om naar te kijken. Als ik een verzoek mag doen voor het volgende seizoen, een 360 cam zou een prachtige toevoeging zijn voor de POV shots
Incredible guys! At the first moment I thought it will be a high end Redbull movie, BUT you did everthing by yourself!!! Really smooth and inspiring Video. Thank you and respect👌🏻⛰️

Dope!! For all the “skimo” posers, this is real ski mountaineering 🤙🤙
Well skied and nice filmography. Not much talking-heads, thanks ;-) Aerial views steady. Line drawn over is very useful. POV cam smoother than most but could slow and linger on the scenes even more for the audiences benefit. (Still waiting for someone to use following drone POV.) Similarly, some of the edit jumps are too brief for the viewer to reorient easily. The narration of the veteran alpinist was a welcome complement and added depth to the story. He (Jacky Pochon?) could have been better acknowledged. The end scenes of the valley village added a nice cultural flavor. Thanks for all the work on the production. Looking forward to further adventures.
