This is so that they can overcome their disability and enjoy mountain sports in the best conditions. &#8220;From skiing to hiking, he has managed to unite a real human chain around him in the service of this cause,&#8221; read an article in the Dauphin\u00e9 Lib\u00e9r\u00e9 devoted to him in 2012. The co-founder of the guides&#8217; office and creator of &#8220;Samo\u00ebns Handi-Glisse&#8221; in 2006, Michel Veisy continues to organise descents with disabled people with the other instructors of the association in Samo\u00ebns.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;438659&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;439822&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Excursions to Nepal to overcome disability<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I have been shooting for 30 years in Nepal with able-bodied people. Why not with disabled people?<\/em>&#8221; he told Alpes Loisir in 2018. This is what he did in 2013 with the organization of a trek with disabled people in Annapurna, including a passage at an altitude of 5400 meters. &#8220;<em>The five people were equipped with FTTs, all-terrain wheelchairs. We also had porters to assist the participants to reach the summit. For the 2,000-metre descent to the base camp, they were totally autonomous and had a great time<\/em>&#8220;, Michel Veisy testified during the program Midi en France. In 2019, he is organising a Himalayan trek with the Handi-Glisse association. Among the participants, four women with motor disabilities.
