During the summer, the Versoud base will host police officers from the CRS Alpes de Grenoble, gendarmes of the high mountain gendarmerie regiment (PGHM), from Isere, and a doctor from Samu 38. Civil Security will also be present to assist with rescue missions aboard the new H145 D3 helicopter.
Captain Ludovic Saint Bonnet, the new boss at the CRS Alpes de Grenoble has the opportunity to offer some tips so that summer in these mountains doesn’t turn into a nightmare. Before you leave, it is important to consider hydration during this time of high heat.
He recalls that you need to plan your route carefully and learn about the weather and difficulties of the terrain. It is important to not leave alone. You should also mention where you are going, when you expect to return, and have a mobile phone with GPS data that can be used to pinpoint your exact location.
Do not underestimate your physical capabilities and, if necessary do not hesitate in giving up.
