The genesis

The genesis

It was in the heart of the French Alps, in Tignes, in 1987, that the Evolution 2 adventure began. Founded by passionate ski and mountain enthusiasts, the school had a clear goal: to reinvent the way skiing and outdoor sports are taught by offering a more personalized and human approach, different from traditional ski schools. Very quickly, the quality of its instruction and the originality of its experiences established the school’s reputation. Over nearly 40 years, the original small school has grown into an international network of more than 500 professionals, all driven by the same values: adventure, safety and a passion for sharing unforgettable experiences. Today, Evolution 2 brings together 30 destinations in France and abroad, across 3 continents, and offers 55 outdoor activities in both summer and winter from skiing and sledding to canyoning, paragliding and mountain biking.
