This Saturday, January 18 at midday, a 6-year-old girl was violently hit by an adult skier on the blue Arpette slope in La Plagne and then airlifted to Grenoble hospital.
The alert was given at 12:58 p.m. at the station's emergency station. A tracker quickly arrived at the scene of the collision where he found the child unconscious. Also present on site and witness to the accident, the father recounted the events to the emergency services. An adult skier raced down the blue Arpette slope at high speed and, wanting to avoid the dad, hit his daughter.

Six collisions out of 19 rescues in La Plagne
Dispatched to the site, SMUR doctors performed first aid on the little, multi-traumatized skier. She briefly regained consciousness before falling unconscious again. The detachment of the Compagnie Républicaine de Sécurité (CRS) des Alpes based in Courchevel airlifted the little girl to Grenoble hospital. Saturday evening, they assured us that the child was doing better. The young victim used to ski with his dad in the La Plagne area since they live in the valley.
The resort's slope safety service would like to warn skiers during periods with less attendance, as is traditionally the case on Saturdays. Because with fewer people in the area, ski patrollers are observing a general drop in alertness and people skiing much faster than their level allows them. Out of nineteen rescues carried out at the station yesterday, six were collisions, according to the count of the La Plagne slope safety service.
