Mont Blanc multi activity holiday, France

Community
We are a fully integrated French company, and we work closely with local suppliers and guides to help make sure your holiday with us is authentically Chamoniard! From the locally produced bread and cheese in your sandwiches to the guides who take you climbing, explain how the glacier system works, and take you exploring the trails by mountain bike, everything and everyone we work with is a genuine representative of the local mountain community. We are committed to maintaining a social responsibility to the community in which we live.

Chamonix is a diverse and multicultural ‘melting pot’ of nationalities – all drawn to the mountain Mecca that is the Mont Blanc range. We are fully integrated into the French community we live in. Our team of staff are all fluent French speakers, we have both a French and an English company, and we work closely with a network of trusted local suppliers. We are proud to be part of an exciting and developing community that is growing and changing constantly, but we also recognise the importance of maintaining and supporting the local heritage and history of where we choose to live and run our business.

As a company, we don’t automatically opt for the cheapest supplier – it’s the closest, smallest, or friendliest who usually wins our business! We are committed to supporting local campaigns, and are active members in the Chamonix Business Forum – dedicated to Chamonix’s environmental development as a whole. Together as a network of holiday companies and suppliers we can achieve a whole lot more than just one small business, to protect our fragile environment and continue to promote our beautiful town in a sustainable and environmentally sympathetic way.

Environment
We live, work, and run holidays in a stunning mountain environment, below Europe’s highest peak – Mont Blanc. The untouched beauty of our adventure sports playground is its biggest attraction, and keeping it that way is one of our main priorities! We are passionate about sharing our amazing mountain world with as many people as possible, in an environmentally sustainable manner. We are a small team, offering a 100% personal service, and are dedicated to sharing our love for the sports and environment around us. As a company, we recycle, reuse, and actively promote the environmentally friendly option in terms of transport and travel around the valley. We support the Chamonix tourist office’s campaign for an ‘eco-friendly’ town.

We run shared minibuses, use natural cleaning products (vinegar, baking soda etc), and run an almost entirely paper free office. We encourage all our guests to think about the environmental impact of their actions during their stay, providing information about the local ecology, encouraging minimal use of water and heating, and offering easy access to recycling facilities, free public transport, and environmentally friendly methods of transport – foot, bike, raft, and parapente! Our multi activity holidays use locally trained guides, non-polluting methods of transport, and leave no scar or litter on the environment. Our guides have trained extensively in Chamonix, and hold the highest possibly qualification to work in the mountains – they are a fountain of knowledge about the flora, fauna and ecology of the mountains and glaciers. We keep to small groups of 6 or less in the mountains, which helps maximise your experience, and minimise the impact on the environment.

Our aim is to grow slowly, sustainably, and in the most environmentally conscious way we can. At every step of our company development, we consider not only the economic viability, but also the environmental viability – we want to keep our mountains the way they are for the rest of our company’s life, but also for our children and grandchildren to enjoy as we have
