Biography
Sébastien Devrient, born January 10, 1972, in Lausanne, is a Swiss mountain guide, filmmaker, photographer, and author. Born in Switzerland, Sébastien Devrient grew up in the Burgundy countryside. As a child, he dreamed of becoming an expedition cameraman. Passionate about images, he pursued his dream by founding the production company Vertiges Prod with his wife, Carole Dechantre, to make adventure films. In 2002, he became a mountain guide. Sébastien has directed several documentaries for the cinema, all with an exploration theme: "Jean Troillet, Always an Adventurer," "Balancing on the Ocean" with the sailor Yvan Bourgnon, and "A Drop of Water on a Volcano," which recounts the adventure of two divers exploring the highest lakes in the world. He is currently directing a feature film that retraces the life of the cartoonist Derib, and is also developing a documentary series about cave exploration by scuba diving. It was following an accident on the south face of Annapurna that left him bedridden for several months that he began writing. "IMMPact" is his first novel.

The ascent of Mont Blanc takes two days. First, you have to climb the Aiguille du Goûter, at the summit of which, at 3,817 meters, clings the Goûter refuge, a small metal box where you spend the night. The climb is 1,500 meters long, including some of the most technical sections. 2:00 a.m. The alarm rings, and Carole Dechantre and Jean-Paul Lemercier begin their ascent of the Dôme du Goûter by the light of their headlamps. With the first rays of sunlight, the Arête des Bosses is illuminated. Already, the surrounding mountains seem smaller. One last effort, and they finally reach the summit of Mont Blanc, the roof of the Alps, at 4,810 meters.
