Shock order of the mayor of Saint-Gervais, a French commune. Too many improvised mountaineers: 'The French taxpayer must not pay these costs' (ANSA)


Dozens of "pseudo mountaineers" ignore the recommendation not to climb Mont Blanc along the French normal route

from the Gouter refuge due to the important stone falls linked to the drought.

Thus the mayor of Saint-Gervais, a French municipality on which the ascent route is located, has established that those who want to climb the summit will have to pay a deposit of 15 thousand euros, of which 10 thousand euros equal to "the average cost of the rescue" and 5 thousand euros for "the burial costs of the victim".

"It is unacceptable - he writes - for the French taxpayer to pay these costs".
