Who are we?

We are all former competitors (cross-country skiing, ski touring) and we wish to transmit our passion for skiing, from a playful way for the youngest to a very technical way for the adults. 

The goal is to help all the public to progress while respecting the evolution of each one, in an authentic and resourcing framework which is the Plateau des Glières.
