“The mountain is as beautiful as it is dangerous. There’s only one way to make it a lot less dangerous, and therefore even more beautiful: you have to tame it, get to know it and deal with its ever-changing moods. That’s what WEMountain has done by joining forces with numerous international experts. Today, with passion and professionalism, WEMountain offers to transmit these extraordinary skills through a unique digital and face-to-face program. An opportunity not to be missed ! “

Our Founder : Dominique Perret, a passionate pioneer fighting for a cause
Voted Best Freerider of the Century at the Board Awards in Paris, he is considered a pioneer in the sport. Beyond his role as an athlete, he is an Engineer, Marketing Expert, and Product Developer for the ski industry and the first athlete in the world to become “carbon positive.” After nearly 30 years in the field, Dominique was deeply affected by the loss of 28 colleagues, highlighting a crucial issue: the lack of education. Convinced that prevention and training save lives, he co-founded WEMountain to evolve mountain practices toward a safer future.
