La Cordée de Rêve traces the great alpine journey made from August 2000 to February 2001 by Patrick Berhault. His great crossing of the Alps, here told to his daughter, will be done sometimes alone, sometimes surrounded by friends: Patrick Gabarrou, Patrick Edlinger, Ottavio Fassini, Gaël Bouquet des Chaux, Valérie Aumage, Philippe Magnin. During this alpine journey, which made him known to the general public, he met his brother in arms Patrick Edlinger for the dolimitic part and also saw the genesis of the "Cordée Magique Berhault/Magnin". For 167 days, in sneakers in the fall, on ski touring in the winter, Patrick Berhault chained 2 to 3 stages of an average hiker daily, swallowing 1,500 to 2,000 meters of elevation gain and up to 45 kilometers per day, and climbed 22 peaks. It's called: "La Grande Cordée" but behind this title hides an exceptional human and sporting performance.
