Synopsis

Every summer, mountaineers and hikers take the paths of the Haut Vénéon valley to reach refuges and high alpine routes. Freedom of movement made possible thanks to the work of road menders, responsible for maintaining the trails. This documentary offers an immersion in their daily life in the town of Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, which lists 250 kilometers of paths rich in history. Before the tourists from the peaks, it was in fact peasants, shepherds, peddlers or gatherers from Edelweiss who surveyed the Oisans massif.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
