Mountains for All
Enriching lives affected by disability, special need or life-changing condition with the empowering benefits of year round mountain activities

Are you looking for adventure, adrenaline, a new found freedom, somewhere different and truly memorable for you, your family or friends?

Ski 2 Freedom Foundation is the link for anyone whose life is affected by a disability, special need, life-challenging or life-changing condition, regardless of age, nationality, cultural or social background - families, individuals and groups to winter and year round activities.

Our ‘Ski 2 Freedom Information Resource’ ensures that beneficiaries achieve barrier-free access to the mountains. We provide a global and comprehensive guide and tailor our advice and support to meet your specific requirements.

For over 150 years the Alps and Mountains have been well-known for their therapeutic qualities. We are striving to bring this reality closer and are breaking down barriers to enable everyone to benefit on an equal basis and at all levels in mountain activities. They are a natural location for rehabilitation and an opportunity to find self-confidence and a renewed spirit for life.

Welcome to the magic of the mountains and allow us to be your guide on a journey full of freedom and new experiences!

Henry David Thoreau
  • "I just wanted to let you know my dreams have come true and I wanted to thank you as soon as I could... I've already cried a few times with my instructor from ESF Les 2 Alpes Loic!!!!!!"

  • "We cannot thank Ski 2 Freedom enough - it's such a wonderful thing for Barnaby to be able to do and, perhaps more importantly, it makes him so much more part of the skiing holiday - on an equal footing with his sister, Olivia, and the other family we ski with. Thank you also to Simon, Lionel and Agathe at ESF La Rosiere who were all so accommodating and to the ski lift operators at Sainte Foy!"
  • "I just wanted to email you to thank you so, so much for putting us in touch with the wonderful Reini of Active Motion in Grindelwald. We've had the most amazing week skiing and Eli has loved it. Thank you so much, we are definitely going to do this again next year so I'll be in touch again!"
    - Mother of daughter with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy 2014
  • "Thank you so much for all your help and sorting this out for me. This holiday has been a massive achievement for me!"
  • "People should believe that their children can do anything. My mum wasn't sure if I would walk, but she believed in me, and so did my dad and now I can ski!!"
