Back to the scene of the tragedy. Our reporter went to the resort of La Rosière, in Savoie, to the precise place where the actor died.


“We saw the helicopter pass in one direction, then quickly in the other.

We suspected it was something serious."

Daniel was skiing in the La Rosière area, in Savoie, when he saw the rescuers heading towards the place where actor Gaspard Ulliel collapsed after a collision with another skier.

At the exact spot of the accident, a tracker is busy repairing sign posts damaged during the collision.

What could have happened to cause a fatal accident?

"They ran into each other, that's all," said the mountaineer.

Nobody really explains the violence of the shock, at this intersection, or more precisely "a bifurcation where the track splits in two", according to a tracker interviewed on the day of the tragedy.

At the crossroads, the track looks more like a false flat, before going up towards the ski lifts.

The speed of the skiers therefore remains moderate, even if some holidaymakers can arrive quickly, all schuss, in a straight line, from the track upstream, to avoid pushing the poles.

Questioned, the seasonal workers crossed on the slopes remind us that all the parameters must be taken into account.

The place, the speed, of course, but also the snow.

At the time of the drama, at the end of the day, artificial snow, reputed to be harder than natural snow, turns out to be softer, “which can make you lose your balance”.

For the rest, "it was fine, no wind, and few skiers", remember the holidaymakers.

The investigation opened by the Albertville prosecutor's office and entrusted to the CRS Alpes will allow the veil to be lifted on the exact circumstances of the tragedy which cost the life of the young hope of French cinema.
