TELEGIETTES & the ski resort of Les Giettes

This charming private ski resort is located between 1300m and 1800m of altitude, just above the city of Monthey.

The Auberge de Chindonne is located on the slopes, between the two ski lifts (you can ski in / ski out!) with catering and accommodation possible for groups of any size.

MAKING A CHANGE —

What is the CFSJ?

In 2004, the charming ski resort of Les Giettes was revived after abandonment. After incredible efforts to revive this resort (ski lifts, snowshoe trails, and marked walks, etc.), we created our non-profit association in 2017 with 3 main goals:
Since then, we have continued to grow and develop our activities. We need support to continue offering these services to as many people as possible.

Week-long camps are available for children ages 7 to 15 and training weekends for adults are available as well.

SafeAltitude – Who we are

SafeAltitude was born in the spirit of Alain Bosco, founder of the company Evazion – Number 1 of children’s holiday camps in Switzerland – active since 1996 – which welcomes more than 1,500 children per year for weeks of activities in nature.

Together we are creating the “Association les Cerniers en Faveur de la Jeunesse et du Sport” (CFJS), which promotes free skiing for all by opening the doors of its ski lifts free of charge every weekend. 

He launched SafeAltitude in 2019, as a company active in raising awareness of avalanche dangers, and which promotes the discovery of and respect for nature in the mountains.

SafeAltitude has joined forces with the Auberge de Chindonne and the Télégiettes estate to offer unique training & stays in Switzerland.
