For years, Les Menuires has been supporting various charitable organisations. While skiing is central to the resort, altruism is in our DNA, and at the heart of our values of kindness, commitment, sincerity, sharing and loyalty.
Shall we introduce our organisations to you? This association represents and supports people with disabilities, along with their families. These two organisations were founded by devoted parents 60 years ago, and they provide support for people suffering from cerebral palsy and their families. The association is involved in several fields, including education, medical care, housing, professional training, home-based care, sports and cultural activities, as well as leisure activities and tourism.
For 25 years, along with Alpysia, Les Menuires has been organising the Trophy of Hope , an event that is sponsored by the double Olympic judo champion David Douillet. The goal is to raise funds to help the organisation. A group of disabled people and their carers spend a day discovering the joys of skiing through handiski. The evening is both festive and supportive. On the programme: a sale of soft animals, a torchlight descent with the ESF, light shows, an exceptional show and fireworks.
Since , Action Enfance has been offering children who are separated from their parents by decision of the Juvenile Court the opportunity to live in a village.
Siblings are not separated as may be the case in foster care. In Action Enfance villages, each child lives in a house with educators who work in shifts. They provide a stable, educational and protective environment, in order to help the children grow up and integrate better into society.
