For an Educational, Inclusive, and Supportive Mountain Environment
En Passant Par La Montagne aims to make the mountains accessible to young people and adults facing challenging life circumstances (social difficulties, disabilities, illness, dropping out of school, etc.), helping them find renewed strength and motivation through mountain experiences.
Our actions:
- Supporting education through the mountains: Co-creating educational mountain projects and trips with social, educational, and healthcare organizations across France.
- Making the mountains more inclusive: Developing inclusive initiatives, accessible mountain sports clubs, and events open to everyone, particularly for people living in mountain regions who face barriers to accessing them.
- Promoting solidarity and social inclusion in the mountains: Championing our cause and the values of diversity, equality, and sharing through training programs, awareness campaigns, European exchanges, and advocacy.
Key figures:
- Founded in 1995
- More than 40 mountain projects each year
- Over 500 beneficiaries annually
- A strong team united around our mission: 4 employees, a board of dedicated volunteers with complementary skills, more than 40 mountain professionals supporting our work, and over 150 members
- Base camp: Servoz (Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley)
By choosing a UTMB® charity bib, you give someone facing challenging circumstances the opportunity to explore our mountains, whether on foot, in snowshoes, climbing shoes, crampons, or why not even trail running shoes!
