A family that has a child with Kabuki Syndrome faces many challenges in their day-to-day life and so to be able to have an inclusive, accessible and well-being ski holiday is such a wonderful and magical experience. But it is not all about skiing, the mountains offer so many amazing activities and life-enhancing experiences year-round!! From kayaking with special assistance on Lake Brienz in the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland, donkey trecks in the Queyras National Park (France), the James Bond Experience in Solden (in the Otztal valley in Austria to so many more - the list is endless and all can be done with a little help from Mountains 4 All and, for the winter Ski 2 Freedom - two charities dedicated to bringing the mountains to your doorstep!
