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

    Are you looking for the freedom to join family and friends in the Alps and Mountains? Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn we can help with somewhere different and truly memorable for you.

    Ski 2 Freedom Foundation – Mountains for All is a charity which aims to enhance the life of anyone whose health or general well-being may be affected by a life-changing, life-challenging or terminal condition (physical, cognitive, degenerative, genetic, sensory, audio or mental) with the empowering benefits of year round mountain activities.

    Our extensive Portfolio of information and contacts 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. Life is about inclusivity, accessibility and health-restoring opportunities.

    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.

    "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined"
    Henry David Thoreau

      - Susan (Addison's Disease) Feb 2014
    • "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!!"
