Le chalet nomad installe un camp de base à Arêches-Beaufort pour télétravailler tout en profitant de la montagne. Le Chalet Nomad est une expérience à la croisée du télétravail, d’une vie en communauté et d’un paradis de sports outdoors, qui réunit une communauté de passionnés. C’est le lieu idéal pour les travailleurs nomades et passionnés de massifs montagneux !
The nomad chalet is a project launched by Mountain on stage. From September to November 2021, the festival team establishes its base camp in the heart of the Beaufortain mountains, just a few kilometers above the Beaufort village, and invites you to come and try the experience for a week, a month or more. In addition to a simple place to live, many courses are offered, the opportunity to run trail, climbing or yoga while working. An original experience that allows you to enjoy the Beaufortain massif and its beautiful fall colors.
Interview with Cyril Salomon, founder of Montagne en scène and the nomad chalet
Quel est le concept du chalet nomad ?
C’est avant tout d’avoir un lieu qui permette de profiter de la montagne et de télétravailler dans un cadre magnifique, face au Grand Mont, au cœur du Beaufortain. L’idée de réunir des passionnés de montagne afin qu’ils se rencontrent et qu’ils partagent de bons moments tous ensemble.
How did you come to this idea ?
It is following the confinement. There were 10 of us in the family chalet not far from here and it was quite incredible to live there too out of season, to enjoy the mountains, to be able to walk in the authorized kilometer while working… We said to ourselves that ' with new ways of working, such as the development of teleworking, offering this type of experience in Beaufortain would be a good idea.
What does the Arêches-Beaufort destination represent for you?
For us it is THE massive heart, super preserved, with not too many ski lifts and huge virgin spaces, as there are not many elsewhere. Throughout the year, many activities are possible in addition to skiing, with climbing or hiking while enjoying what is surely the most beautiful view of the Mont Blanc massif. And what's more, it's very accessible, it's easy to come by train from Lyon or Paris, in short, it ticks all the boxes.
Le chalet nomad c’est durant tout l’automne, jusqu’à novembre 2021, mais quel est l’avenir du projet ?
The idea was already to do a test, see how it goes, what we could put in place. And it seems to be working pretty well, so we're going to try to develop that over the winter, with “work & ski” and other activities such as snowshoeing and taking advantage of the late season for ski touring. Especially since you have to get up early in the spring to take advantage of the good conditions, which leaves time to work afterwards. And why not in the future, have a permanent establishment in the area.
If we are interested, how can we follow the progress of the project?
