Sustainable tourism
Organization of charitable initiatives for the Chamrousse Santa’s Chalet event in partnership with the Petits Princes Association and the Samu Social of Grenoble.
The resort supports the Petits Princes Association as part of the “Famille Plus: Solidarity in the Mountains” initiative. The “Les Petits Princes” Association makes the dreams of seriously ill children and teenagers with cancer, leukemia, or certain genetic diseases come true.
By pursuing their passions and fulfilling their dreams, children find the extra energy they need to fight their illness.
We have decided to raise funds to support their efforts.
To help us, we suggest you make a donation to the Association Petits Princes or help spread the word about our initiative.
It’s very easy and 100% secure.
Your donation entitles you to a tax deduction equal to 66% of the amount donated, up to a maximum of 20% of your taxable income.
Donate, like, and share! Thank you for your support!
