The whole world envies our ski area which is the most extensive and varied in the world Catering to families or athletes, in casual or jet-set style, the southern and northern Alps boast the largest ski areas and the most famous resorts. Resorts in the Pyrenees are developing but remain hard to reach. For an exotic touch, you might choose a resort such as Gstaad, Verbier or Crans-Montana in Switzerland, Kitzbühel in Austria, Kranjska Gora in Slovenia or Kolasin in Montenegro for example.
For the organisation of a seminar, board meeting or incentive trip departing from Paris, the resorts of Chamonix, La Clusaz, Megève (1-hr drive from Geneva airport) and Alpe d’Huez (1hr from Grenoble) are the most accessible.
In summer and winter alike, the mountains are a great setting for organising sports or team-building activities, especially propitious to forging team spirit and experiencing an adventure together.
The development of hotel capacity in winter sports resorts ensures excellent conditions for the organisation of your corporate events in the mountains: incentive trips with a skiing theme, conventions and AGMs, board meetings, company seminars in the mountains, and so on.
Organising a stay or seminar in the mountains is a sure-fire success. The Alpine atmosphere, roaring fireplaces, comforting fondue and raclette cheese dishes and winter sports are all particularly suitable especially for team building and staff motivation.
