Winter
Summer
The Agency was founded in October 2009 by three enthusiasts of the Tarentaise Valley. The idea was to offer everyone the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent playground provided by all the resorts in the valley: Val d’Isère, Tignes, Sainte Foy, La Rosière, Les Arcs, La Plagne, and La Thuile in Italy. Here, we don’t talk about one resort more than another, but about a valley that is alive all year round and its local inhabitants who love it so much and want to share its most hidden secrets through skiing, climbing, cycling, running, or walking… Whatever your favorite activity, Tarentaise Tours is sure to offer you the best way to enjoy it.
As a 100% local agency, “Made In Tarentaise,” we specialize in all-inclusive, tailor-made adventure trips for outdoor enthusiasts.
Over the years, we have also begun to explore more distant horizons at the request of our loyal customers who wanted to travel with our guides for even more fun. That’s why we also offer a few exclusive trips abroad, tailor-made for you.
Our guides and instructors will accompany you with great passion, lots of fun, and constant professionalism to ensure you have unforgettable, intense, and safe experiences here in Haute Tarentaise and far beyond the valley’s ridges.

Where are you from?
I’m originally from the countryside south of Lyon. I was adopted by the Tarentaise region in 2008 when I met my husband at the foot of the Via Cordata du Crot in Ste Foy Tarentaise.
What is your role at Tarentaise Tours?
I am the manager of Tarentaise Tours. My role is quite broad and covers almost all areas of a company like Tarentaise Tours: quotes, costing, customer relations, but also administration, budgeting, and communication. I am not in charge of any particular file. My role is more to supervise and organize the team’s work and to contribute my experience as much as possible and support my colleagues so that we can offer unique experiences to our customers.
What is your fondest memory of the region?
I really love being able to ski right up to my front door, skiing off-piste from Ste Foy or even from Italy, in wild and isolated areas, without seeing anyone else, in a magnificent setting!
Where are you from?
From the mountains! I was born in Bourg-Saint-Maurice and grew up in Sainte-Foy.
Why did you choose this profession?
To share my passion, interact with people, enable them to achieve their dreams, and sometimes help them exceed their limits! And, of course, to spend time in the mountains and enjoy different experiences.
What are your specialties/favorite activities?
I love snow! Gliding through virgin powder, making the first tracks on a ski tour, ski trips to discover new routes… Mountaineering too! Climbing peaks, scaling ridges. And outdoor activities in all their forms: walking, running on trails, mountain biking…
What is your fondest memory?
There are several! I would say reaching the summit of Mont Blanc at sunrise with my client, for whom it was a lifelong dream… It was a moment of great emotion and happiness!
Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Siberia, near the Altai Mountains, where winters are very cold and summers are hot. I started hiking in the mountains at the age of 11, first with the photography club and then with the tourism club. My love for the mountains is eternal!
What is your role at Tarentaise Tours?
Tarentaise Tours is a travel agency, a guide office, and a shop, the TT-SHOP, with a small team at your service. As Sales and Operations Manager, I make sure your activities, trips, and seminars are organized and run smoothly, which is a rewarding, exciting, and varied job. I look forward to welcoming you to our shop and helping you plan your adventures.
What is your fondest memory of the region?
I started skiing very late in life, so my first experiences of skiing downhill were the most memorable!
Where are you from?
I’m from the south of France, Carcassonne to be precise.
What is your role at Tarentaise Tours?

What is your fondest memory of the region?
My first hike in Tarentaise, surrounded by marmots!
Where are you from?
I’m originally from the foothills of the Chartreuse mountains, near Grenoble.
Why did you choose this profession?
I’ve always loved skiing and climbing since I was a child (my father was a guide and my parents were mountaineers) and I wanted to share this passion. Through my job, I want to educate people about the mountains, “mountain life,” and the incredible activities our environment has to offer.
What are your specialties/favorite activities?
My favorite activities are off-piste skiing, ski touring, mountaineering, and multi-pitch climbing. I’m most comfortable with ski touring.
What is your fondest memory?
With friends, skiing down the Llaima volcano in the Andes in Chile.
With clients, it was organizing a full week of ski touring around Vallouise (Hautes Alpes), a place I am particularly fond of.
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Vercors, and I grew up in Bourg St Maurice.
Why did you choose this profession?
For the joy of sharing my passion and exploring wild and beautiful places.
What are your specialties/favorite activities?
Off-piste skiing, climbing, and canyoning! In other words: fun, sunshine, and escape!
What is your fondest memory?
A descent of the Ruitor, alone in the world, leaving no trace, with 50 cm of powder snow and under a blue sky… What else?
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Seine-et-Marne, but I’ve been living in the valley since 1991.
Why did you choose this profession?
For the love of skiing and the mountains, and for fun!
What are your specialties/favorite activities?
I specialize in skiing, snowboarding, and telemark skiing, both off-piste and on-piste, with a preference for ski touring in recent years.
What is your fondest memory?
A ski tour with clients in Sainte-Foy during the 2021 season, when all the ski lifts were closed. The mountains were deserted and majestic: we skied the Col Granier in incredible virgin snow!
