Chamonix: Le mauvais pas
Chamonix: Le mauvais pas en Cuevana. A group of tourists, including five women, cross the Mauvais Pas, a rocky passage equipped with a railing, next to the Mer de Glace Glacier. One of the men ascends from below using a long ice axe. The shot belongs to a collection of scenes that were presented together as a kind of travelogue film under the title of 'Voyages animés' in a diorama pavilion in the Universal Exhibition of Paris of 1900. The mountaineering scenes in this series include four scenes in the Mer de Glace and one in the Meije glacier. These five scenes, under a minute long, are the first mountaineering images ever filmed. Several of the 'Voyages animés' scenes were included in the Lumière catalog in 1901 under the title of 'À travers la France'.
