Distributed exclusively via the Travelski site, this unique offer strengthens Travelski’s international desire to gain new customers for France. ‘

For David Ponson, Director, Mountain / Ski Resort Operations and Outdoor Activities, “Faced with an unprecedented health crisis that led to the total closure of our activities for the entire winter season last year, Compagnie des Alpes is working closely with its partners to promote a rapid and robust recovery of the mountain economy. The Company is taking concrete measures that include the continuity of its investment commitments and innovative and zero carbon projects. Investing in the mountains and beyond, investing in the mountains, these are the key words of our lasting and trusting relationship with our delegate-partners. ‘”
