About us

For more than 25 years we have spent our spare time and our holidays in the mountains. We took three sabbaticals so we could practise sports in the mountains and enjoy its scenery as well. In 2017 we decided to turn our old dream into a new project, Mountivity. Because we kept going back to this location, Vallouise-Pelvoux was an obvious choice.
