In the presence of co-director Laurent Jamet
Chamonix, the cradle of alpinism, has witnessed both legendary triumphs and daring challenges. It is here that Lucien Boucansaud and Guillaume Pierrel set out on an unprecedented adventure: linking, in a single race, the seven sacred Madonnas of the Mont Blanc massif.
Perched atop the region’s most imposing peaks, these statues are remnants of a time when people sought guidance and meaning in the mountains. Their journey takes them across three countries – France, Italy, and Switzerland – in search of a forgotten heritage.
Following in the footsteps of past alpinists and guided by the insights of figures like Catherine Destivelle and Étienne Klein, they uncover a deeper truth: these statues hold more than history—they embody the spirit of a universal legacy, blending achievements, beliefs, and alpine traditions.
