Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Intrawest is one of the world’s leading destination resort and adventure-travel companies. Intrawest Corporation was formed by an amalgamation on November 23, 1979. In 1990 became a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In 1997 shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2006 Intrawest was acquired by Fortress Investment Group LLC (the total value of the transaction was approximately $2.8 billion). Subsequent to the transaction, Intrawest shares were delisted from both the NYSE and the TSX, and with this Intrawest became a privately-held company. In Fiscal 2006, Intrawest Corporation Net Income was $115.2 million.
Intrawest is divided in three divisions: resort and travel operations, management services and real estate development.
Resort and travel operations comprise all the leisure businesses at the resorts as well as active and adventure travel tours at Abercrombie & Kent Group of Companies and Alpine Helicopters, and provided 59% of total revenue in 2006. Management services comprise fees from assets Intrawest manage on behalf of thirdparty owners and from sales, development and supervisory services Intrawest provide to other entities and generated 11% of total revenue in 2006.

Revenue from the mountain segment was $569.8 million. The non-mountain segment mainly comprises Abercrombie & Kent, resort operations at Sandestin and golf courses.

Compagnie des Alpes (CDA) is the largest company in the European Ski Industry. Compagnie des Alpes was set up in 1989 by Caisse des Dépôts Développement (C3D) as a corporation with a Board of Directors. The launch of the project took place at the end of the 1980’s when the ski industry experienced a serious downturn, as a consequence of the impact of three consecutive snow-deficient winters (1987/88, 1988/89, 1989/90). Compagnie des Alpes flotation on the Paris Second Marché took place on November 18, 1994. On May 8, 2004 Compagnie des Alpes was privatize. C3D reduced its stake from 52.7% to 40%, through sales of shares to Crédit Agricole des Savoie and Banque Populaire des Alpes, financial institutions in the Rhône Alpes region as well as to Caisse Nationale des Caisses d’Epargne, which invested together with Caisse d’Epargne des Alpes.

Saas-Fee es la población más importante del Saastal en el cantón suizo del Valais, sin duda uno de los valles con un paisaje más bello y conmovedor, sublime en términos clásicos, de todos los Alpes. El pueblo se encuentra situado a una altitud de 1800 metros sobre el nivel del mar, rodeado por una corona de montañas de más de 4000 metros y bajo la impresionante mole de hielo del Feegletscher. Las casas de madera tradicionales del Valais combinadas con una arquitectura “neoalpina” contribuyen a crear un escenario perfecto para los visitantes, lo que le ha valido el sobrenombre de la “Perla de los Alpes”.
El punto de partida en el camino hacia la sostenibilidad lo encontramos en la revolucionaria medida adoptada por la comunidad en 1951. Ese año sus habitantes decidieron no permitir el tráfico rodado en las calles, convirtiéndose en la primera localidad alpina libre de coches. La idea, seguida por otras localidades alpinas suizas, desembocó hace 10 años en la creación de una Sociedad de Resorts Suizos sin Coches (GAST) integrada por los resorts de Bettmeralp, Braunwald, Riederalp, Rigi, Saas-Fee, Stoos, Wengen-Mürren y Zermatt, con objeto de promover los programas de vacaciones en destinos turísticos alpinos reservados a los peatones.
