Biography
Anatole Bozon was a French sportsman and mountaineer who was active throughout the 1930s. As a bobsledder Bozon and Émile Kleber competed in the two-man event at the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Olympics where the pair finished 21st. In mountaineering he was part of a group of climbers who made the first crossing of the Grandes Jorasses mountain on the French-Italian border without using a bivouac. Tragically Bozon was killed in February 1939 in an avalanche accident near the Col de l’Iseran while leading two skiers on an excursion. His son Charles also died in an avalanche accident in 1964.
