Before the lifts were installed, reaching the peaks required a lot of effort. Back then, Val d’Isère’s medal-holders had the challenge of scaling the nearby 3 000m+ peaks then skiing back down in order to earn their medal.
These avid hikers and skiers had to prove their achievement by leaving a note in a letterbox installed at the summit.
They were then rewarded with an eagle or star engraved on their medal, depending on wich mountain they had conquered, as proof of their commitment.
