Handiski in La Plagne: a mountain holiday accessible to all

In recent years, many resorts have developed new facilities to make mountain holidays more accessible to everyone. The mountains should be accessible to all, and at Oxygène Immobilier, we fully understand the importance of this.

The mountains offer a wonderful opportunity to escape from everyday life. Ski resorts have often had a reputation for being poorly equipped to accommodate people with reduced mobility. However, in recent years, many resorts have developed new facilities to make mountain holidays more accessible to everyone. The mountains should be accessible to all, and at Oxygène Immobilier, we fully understand the importance of this. Our agency offers apartments equipped to welcome a wide range of guests, with accommodation options tailored to individual needs.

What Is Adaptive Skiing?

Adaptive skiing encompasses all forms of skiing adapted to people with physical, sensory or neurological disabilities. Thanks to specially designed equipment, people with reduced mobility can access the slopes and experience the same thrills and sensations as able-bodied skiers.

Some of the most widely used types of equipment include:

Ski chairs (or dualskis)
Tandem skis
Sit-ski equipment

These innovations allow everyone to discover the joys of skiing in complete safety. Adaptive skiing is about more than just sport: it also promotes independence, self-confidence and the pleasure of sharing special moments with family and friends.

Our partner, OxySki, offers adaptive skiing lessons to help beginners learn at their own pace. With the support of qualified instructors, you can discover how adaptive skiing works, learn how to glide down the slopes and understand how to use ski lifts, among other essential skills.

Suitable accommodation makes everyday movement easier and allows you to enjoy your stay with complete peace of mind.
