Conference: “Living with the Avalanche”

This event, organized by the Musée des Ormonts, is linked to the “AVALanche” exhibition currently on display at the museum.
With doctorates in geography (Grenoble, 1991) and computer science (EPFL, 1999), Robert Bolognesi is a true lover of snow, who travels throughout the Alps and mountains around the world as an avalanche specialist. He helped create ski resorts in the 1980s, established methods for publishing local avalanche bulletins, secured roads (through his design office Meteorisk), and pioneered entire areas of modeling applied to snow and avalanches. Publisher and author of numerous books on avalanches, lecturer, programmer, statistician, ski patroller and explosives expert, Robert Bolognesi is above all an enthusiast who will share his passion for the mountains and snow with you. He will present his latest book, “Avalanches au pays des Ormonts” .
