Us and the shop
You will find us at Jean Sports sports shop, on the main street of Val d'Isère, 100m past the Tourist Office, on the opposite side of the road.
Alpine Experience ascribes a large part of their success to their association with Jean Sports. Established 27 years ago by Jean and Nicole Ughetto, it was the recognised centre for ski mountaineering equipment and for all the requirements of serious skiers, and has continued this tradition ever since.
Their
friendly and relaxed manner belies their total commitment and professionalism
to their trade. We benefit greatly from their quality ski equipment
and expertise on offer. With state-of -the-art equipment, the standard
of ski repair and preparation are without equal. This same attention
to detail is evident in the quality of all their rental equipment
