Présentation de Pierre Vaultier
Today, I'm lucky to be able to live for my passion in the Pays des Ecrins in the heart of the Hautes Alpes.
In Puy Saint Vincent and Pelvoux-Vallouise alike, I can find all that a high level sportsman dreams of open spaces, freedom and good facilities.
So, if like me, you are mad about wintersports and about nature in ideal conditions, come and join me... See you on the slopes this winter !

New in 2008 :
ICE 2008 has adopted an environmental dimension in keeping with the existing sporting, security conscious and social spirit .Our natural playground is becoming more and more precious and we would like to combine habit with" green" awareness. The huge Bivouac evening was one of the high points of the event with big bonfires, giant cauldrons of soup and mulled wine, films, entertainment and shows, and night in tents.
