As the winter season arrives in the Alps, migrants are risking life and limb, crossing the high-altitude border clandestinely from Italy to France. But some volunteers are helping them survive the dangerous journey and evade border patrols. Currently, humanitarian workers distribute hand-warmers to the shivering migrants, help them hide in snowy woods until the coast is clear, and then steer them to waiting cars that whisk them from the frozen peaks to a warm shelter.
