                           LAUNCH OF TRAVELSKI EXPRESS

                         COMPAGNIE DES ALPES RELAUNCHES
               LONDON - MOÛTIERS-OURG-SAINT-MAURICE RAIL SERVICE

Chambéry, September 10, 2021: During the presentation of its strategic
orientations on June 1, 2021, the Compagnie des Alpes Group (the "Compagnie")
outlined the following priorities:

- Stimulate its business recovery, beginning with the 2021/2022 ski season,
with the goal of getting back on the growth track by (i) reinitiating its
investment dynamic and (ii) launching new initiatives, particularly those that
promote the Very Great Satisfaction of its clients.

- Strengthen its commitments in corporate environmental, social, and societal
responsibility. To this end, the Group has set the following environmental
objectives: achieve Zero Net Carbon emissions (scopes 1 and 2), a positive
impact on biodiversity, and zero non-recycled waste by 2030.

- Broaden its positive impact on the vitality of the regions where it operates
and, as part of this effort, finance initiatives, in some cases beyond its
current scope, that bring substantial benefit to these regions.

In line with these strategic orientations, the Compagnie announces it has
signed an agreement with Eurostar to relaunch direct rail service from
London-Saint Pancras to the Tarentaise Valley, which the Compagnie will
finance, for the 2021-2022 ski season.

Operating under the name "Travelski Express," this door-to-door transportation
offer will be made available via Travelski, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Compagnie des Alpes, which will sell it as a dynamic package deal that combines
transportation, shuttle service, lodging, and ski passes. Travelski is the
exclusive distributor of this service, which is being sold as a package for the
British market and for the benefit of the ski resorts operated by the
Compagnie. It will be available to clients in the United Kingdom beginning in
September 2021.

The Travelski Express will operate on weekends during the 2021-2022 ski season,
departing from London- Saint Pancras station on Friday's nights, for non-stop
service to the Moûtiers and Bourg Saint Maurice stations. Non-stop return
service will be scheduled for Saturdays from Bourg Saint Maurice and Moûtiers
to London-Saint Pancras.

The "Ski in France" experience will begin in the heart of London!

With the rollout of this new offer, Compagnie des Alpes continues to reinforce
international business via its brand Travelski, offering a seamless voyage for
clients who choose to vacation in the French Alps.

This effort is consistent with its historic role as a long-term partner for the
sites it operates on behalf of its licensors and, more broadly, on behalf of
the entire regional ecosystem.

For Yariv Abehsera, Director, Mountain/Distribution and Hospitality, "Travelski
Express is first and foremost a unique initiative of the Group that consists of
opening up a direct rapid rail line from Great Britain to the ski resorts of
Compagnie des Alpes and serving the French Alps. Travelski Express also attests
to our interest in serving our foreign clients. Distributed exclusively via the
Travelski website, this unique offer reinforces Travelski's international bid
to win new clients heading for France."

For David Ponson, Director, Mountain/Ski Area Operations and Outdoor
Activities, "In the face of an unprecedented health crisis that led to the
total closure of our activities for the entire winter season last year,
Compagnie des Alpes is working closely with its partners to promote a swift and
robust recovery of the mountain economy. The Compagnie is taking concrete steps
that include the continuity of its investment commitments and innovative, zero
carbon projects. Investing in the mountain and beyond, investing for the
mountain - these are the keywords of our lasting, trust-based relationship with
our delegates-partners.""
