The high mountain gendarmerie platoon (PGHM) of Courchevel (Savoie) had a rather busy Wednesday.
He intervened four times to help several victims, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré.
The military lent a hand to the service of the slopes of several ski resorts.
The emergency services were first called to the Val Thorens resort to help a 21-year-old young woman who suffered from a dislocated patella.
The latter was returned to the scene and the victim was transported to a local medical office.
Around 2 p.m., the PGHM then went to Valmeinier.
This time, a 39-year-old man suffered from a dislocated knee.
He was evacuated to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne.
