The two young men of 36 and 40 years, had left yesterday morning with the & rsquo; going to climb the Matterhorn, not seeing them return in the evening, I started the research.
According to an initial reconstruction of the facts, while they were roped along the way Deffeyes, due to a sudden discharge of the pebbles, the two climbers would come up against the falling rocks for over 400 meters in the vertical line.
Debora Camaschella Mayor of Valtournenche comments cos & igrave; the news: & rdquo; The conditions on the mountain were excellent, our fellow citizens were experienced climbers and well trained, & egrave; a tragedy that hits us hard & rdquo ;.
L & rsquo; entire community & agrave; the valley at & rsquo; shadow of the Gran Becca & egrave; very experienced, it seems almost in a state of shock.
Families are the most & ugrave; heartfelt and sincere condolence by the editors of NeveItalia

Argentera
Argentera si trova nell’alta Valle Stura, a pochi chilometri dal Colle della Maddalena e dal confine francese, in uno degli ambienti più appartati e selvaggi delle Alpi Marittime. Il comprensorio si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Bersezio, tra circa 1.630 e 2.500 metri di quota, in un paesaggio di lariceti e pendii d’alta montagna dominato dall’Oserot e dalla Rocca dei Tre Vescovi.
