TSF Millet 2012 ski-mountaineering race: Images and results
This year again, many high-level competitors were present for the TSF Millet ski-mountaineering race that took place this week-end in the Aravis mountains. Despite very cold temperatures and tricky snow conditions (forcing the organizing commitee to change the route at the very last moment), the 9th edition of the event is a total success, with many people attending the event and supporting the competitors along the route.
