LOCAL SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

Created in Haute-Savoie by Antoine Dénériaz, Olympic Downhill Champion in Turin in 2006, Dénériaz has developed and marketed high-end ski accessories for the last ten years. Also a manufacturer of made in France skis in 2018, the Dénériaz factory banks on local and responsible production. The materials chosen mostly come from France and Europe and are processed according to best practices. Skis are handmade, in a subtle combination of modern craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. This winter, the brand is proposing for the first time two cross-country ski models which are real racing machines thanks to their ultralight weight – around 700g!

Inspired by traditional honey and lemon herbal tea, Canaille Spirit is a 100% natural drinkdesigned by two former students of the IAE university in Annecy. Free from preservatives, it can be enjoyed chilled or hot, according to the season. With a tangy lime and fresh ginger flavour, it also makes the ideal base for alcoholic cocktails.
Its creators make no compromises on the quality of ingredients used.

The idea for the tea was born during a mountain hike when a couple of nature-loving perfumers, specialising in the virtues of plants, came face to face with 2 marmots. They created the brand in 1976 and the product proved to be a success, with 100% plant-based herbal teas made in Haute-Savoie.
The brand’s top sellers include the Thyme Tea which is a remedy for a few ailments, especially those associated with the winter months, and the Marmottes Tea perfect for a good night’s sleep.
