Compagnie des Alpes is a leading European operator in the leisure and tourism industry, headquartered in France. Created in 1989, the company initially focused on managing major ski areas in the French Alps, before expanding into amusement parks and, more recently, accommodation and tourism services. It is publicly listed on Euronext Paris and operates with a diversified business model that combines long-term ski resort concessions, leisure attractions, and hospitality activities.
The group is structured around three main divisions: Ski Areas & Outdoor Activities, Leisure Parks, and Distribution & Hospitality. In the ski sector, Compagnie des Alpes operates some of the largest and most renowned alpine resorts, including La Plagne, Les Arcs, Tignes, Val d’Isère, and Méribel. These destinations collectively welcome millions of visitors each year and benefit from significant investment programs aimed at modernizing infrastructure, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing safety and visitor comfort.
The Leisure Parks division includes well-known European attractions such as Parc Astérix, Walibi parks, Futuroscope, and several cultural or immersive venues. These parks attract diverse audiences and contribute to the group’s balanced seasonality, complementing the winter concentration of the ski segment.
Across all activities, the company employs approximately 6,300 people, while seasonal peaks can significantly increase this number. In recent financial years, Compagnie des Alpes has generated around €1.4 billion in annual revenue, with steady growth supported by rising attendance, strategic acquisitions, and continuous improvements in guest experience.
The group also develops tourism accommodations and distribution services, which help integrate the visitor journey, from booking to on-site experience. Its strategic priorities include operational excellence, sustainability, digital transformation, and the diversification of leisure offerings.
Overall, Compagnie des Alpes has become a major player in European tourism by combining mountain expertise, theme park management, and a commitment to long-term development.
