14 years after our honorary member Zinédine Zidane, Adrien Bonvalot is also preparing to climb Mont-Blanc in aid of ELA.
A sporting and human challenge
This nature lover is embarking on an incredible challenge: to climb the Roof of Europe to an altitude of almost 4,810 meters! He has been preparing for nine months to complete the 19km route, which takes in the technically challenging Innominata ridge. Thibault Florant, a mountain guide who has accompanied Adrien for many years, will accompany him on his 3-day adventure.
A charity auction
At the end of this feat, the timepiece (a term given today to watches of high quality and precision) made available to him for the climb will be auctioned off. The proceeds will be donated to the fight against leukodystrophy. The watch was kindly donated by Humbert-Droz.
We would like to thank Adrien for his support of ELA, and wish him all the best for the future!
