Bournissen Sports Arolla

Introduction

In the heart of Arolla, Bournissen Sports is your Skiset shop for a safe, seamless and personalised mountain experience. Founded in 1970 by Camille and Rosalie Bournissen, this family-run business has been managed since 1988 by their son Basile and his wife Patricia, continuing the same passion and commitment that have made it a true institution in the village.

The Bournissen family embodies the alpine spirit: skiers and mountain guides who bring their expertise to a warm, attentive and personalised service. The team advises you according to your needs, budget and skiing style before, during and after your day on the slopes, ensuring every outing is well organised and enjoyable.
