Our story

Yves MATHELIN was a skiing instructor, mountain guide and first aid worker for the Chamonix High Mountain Police Force Platoon. In 1989, he had an accident and lost the use of his legs and decided to create the first adaptive seated skiing structure supervised by professionals. The association Ski Assis Evasion was launched in 1994 and Yves Mathelin became its first president.

Frédéric Bouniol took over the management of the association in collaboration with Lionel Mailly and Dominique Desbenoit.

The association decided to restructure so as to evolve and better answer the growing demands and wider activities of the association.

Currently the association now called Loisirs Assis Evasion proposes different winter and summer activities supervised by a team of professional instructors.
