Compagnie des Alpes Increases Sales

8th June 2026

Europe’s largest lift company has reported consolidated sales of €882.7m, representing a 3.9% increase compared with the first half of 2024/25.

Core sales from ski-lift operations accounted for more than 95% of the division’s sales and rose by 4.2%.

Growth was primarily driven by a 3.7% increase in average revenue per skier-day.

There was a 0.5% rise in the number of skier-days compared with last year’s historically high level.

The number of skier-days increased by 2.0%.

The weeks leading up to the February break were busy, confirming the growing importance, year after year, of the off-season period in January and early February.

As expected, performance during the February break was more subdued.

The start of the break was disrupted by a period of very heavy snowfall, which caused days of partial and total closures of ski resorts and areas, as well as the closure of connections between certain linked ski areas.

March turned out to be a successful month, as the Compagnie des Alpes’ high-altitude resorts enjoyed good snow conditions.

Overall, the strong performance recorded this season confirms the appeal of the resorts managed by the Group.

The company has invested in the modernisation of ski lift infrastructure, which has particularly benefited the resorts of La Plagne, Les Arcs and Méribel.

For the 2026/27 season, Travelski, a subsidiary of Compagnie des Alpes, will launch a new sleeper train service departing from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Brussels.

It will travel to Bourg-Saint-Maurice in the Tarentaise region via Moûtiers and Aime-la-Plagne.

The night train between Paris and Bourg-Saint-Maurice, which was introduced during the winter of 2024/25, will be offered again next season.

With an occupancy rate that reached 85% at the height of winter, the service has proven its technical reliability and commercial viability.
