CARBON REDUCTIONTraveling by train:
We encourage guests to travel by train and offer a 3% discount for eligible rail journeys. Guillestre is accessible via Mont-Dauphin–Guillestre station, including connections with the overnight train from Paris.
Human-powered skiing:
Cross country skiing is a human-powered activity practised on groomed Nordic trails without ski lifts. During the vacation, guests share transport between Guillestre and the different Nordic ski areas, rather than traveling separately.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
Exploring the Nordic ski areas:
This vacation introduces guests to the Nordic ski areas of Arvieux, Ceillac and Crévoux, where skiing takes place on designated, groomed trails through forests and mountain valleys.
Supporting nature restoration:
We make a contribution on behalf of every traveler to rewilding projects through our partner Mossy Earth, supporting initiatives focused on habitat restoration and biodiversity.
People
LOCAL ECONOMYSupporting local businesses:
Guests stay in a locally owned hotel in Guillestre, with opportunities to eat in independent restaurants and hire ski equipment from local businesses. This helps direct some of the vacation spending towards businesses in the surrounding communities.
Local expertise:
Ski instruction is provided by qualified local instructors who live and work in the Southern French Alps. Their knowledge of the Nordic ski areas helps guests discover the region while supporting local professional activity during the winter season.
EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
Fair employment:
We work with local partners and pay agreed professional rates for ski instruction and tourism services, supporting employment in the region.
A welcoming learning environment:
This trip is designed for complete beginners and early improvers, with an instructor who adapts the sessions to the group's experience and progress. Whether traveling alone, as a couple or with friends, guests can learn in a supportive small-group setting.
We are committed to treating everyone fairly and respectfully, from the local people we work with to the travelers who join our vacations.
