Un choix d’itinéraire judicieux est nécessaire lorsqu’on planifie une sortie en terrain avalancheux. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d’uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d’avalanche.] 1, record 2, French, - choix%20d%26rsquo%3Bitin%C3%A9raire
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le choix d’un itinéraire répond aux exigences suivantes(parfois contradictoires entre elles).-minimisation du risque : recherche des zones les plus sûres ou les moins exposées(avalanche, crevasse, ressaut, pente raide) ;-principe d’économie : réduction des efforts inutiles. [...] Inutile par exemple de se perdre dans la végétation(vernes, forêt dense) alors qu'on peut la contourner [...];-recherche esthétique : recherche de la progression la plus [...] variée, offrant le plus beau point de vue, etc. ;-simplicité : recherche du cheminement le plus logique. Il existe des lignes plus évidentes que d’autres : thalweg, crête, combe;-facilité : par temps de brouillard, il faut des points ou des lignes faciles à trouver ou à suivre, quitte à faire un long détour. On a donné ici des critères fixes liés le plus souvent à la topographie. On peut aussi tenir compte des facteurs variables(nivologiques par exemple) [...] De toute manière, c'est sur le terrain que se fait le choix définitif. 1, record 2, French, - choix%20d%26rsquo%3Bitin%C3%A9raire
