Two paths forward.
Supporting Outdoor sport professionals in need
support
Since 1999, through the Support pillar of the Salomon Foundation, under the aegis of the Fondation de France, we stand alongside mountain guides, ski instructors, refuge keepers and athletes when life takes a sharp turn. Injury, financial hardship, loss we’re there. Not with paperwork, but with presence and trust.
Supporting non-profit
organizations
Empower
Around the world, we partner with organizations that use mountain and outdoor sports to break down barriers. The outdoors becomes a space of transformation for those experiencing disability, social exclusion and displacement. We don’t just fund them. We walk with them, for three years minimum.
