Resumo

Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image sizeIn February 1999, an important avalanche activity took place in the Alps. Especially on February 9th, the Péclerey avalanche killed 12 persons in Montroc near Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in a white zone (but not with no risk). This paper takes the final toll of this deasaster and questions arise concerning avalanche forecasting and prevention tools.
