They are called the shadow workers, because you never see them.

However, Victor is not invisible, but he works at night as a groomer of ski slopes.

Her task ?

Flatten the snow to allow skiers to have a smooth trail during the day.

At an altitude of 3000 meters and aboard his snow groomer, Victor can watch the sunrises over the mountains of Tignes: “We are lucky to have landscapes that we cannot find elsewhere.

We are alone in the world, apart from the wind ... we hear nothing.

"

In the lineage of his grandfather

Victor has been practicing this profession for ten years, and follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, who groomed the slopes… on skis!

After having climbed the track on foot, it was necessary to descend while making sure to flatten the snow, a long and tedious job.

In his snow groomer, Victor is protected from storms.
