The main mission of Loisirs Assis Evasion

Our main objective is to allow a very wide range of people with a physical disability or requiring special educational needs to practice outdoor mountain activities supervised by specialists in adaptive skiing –standing or seated– Monoski, Tandemski, Skikart , mountain wheelchair,”Joëlette”, “Cimgo”,paragliding, rope park, climbing …

Our aim is to favour socialising and personal development and to provide disabled people and people with special needs with activities in an environment which has long been inaccessible to them.

Inclusivity

Our specificity

All our activities are supervised by state qualified professional instructors and professionals who have a specific qualification in looking after and accompanying disabled people.

We keep improving our equipment and the activities we offer to make them suitable to any type of disability.

At Loisirs Assis Evasion not only are we concerned with accompanying disabled people in a mountain activity but also with granting them maximum ease – considering the specificity of the disability and its constraints, adapting the equipment, ensuring transport if necessary, giving confidence to the person, making families and accompanying personnel at ease…

Loisirs Assis Evasion is a non-profitmaking organisation. The rate of the activities is calculated to be the fairest for disabled people.

On top of organising mountain activities Loisirs Assis evasion also devotes energies to improve accessibility for disabled people by working with regional authorities (town and department councils) but also with companies involved in mountain equipment (ski lift operators most notably).

Thanks to our sponsors we can undertake voluntary actions aimed at parents of disabled children, young people living in specialist structures (IME, IEM, EREA …) and elderly people living in retirement or nursing homes.

Among these voluntary actions we can mention:

  • trainings of parents to the use of the adaptive skiing equipment (since 2009) thanks to the help of several partners
  • development of partnerships to put our equipment at the disposal of other associations, for instance by lending every winter our Cimgos and mountain wheelchairs to an association in Ajaccio (Corsica).

We also lend our equipment to individuals under certain conditions.
