The K-IP beacons partners with the ESI

Locating and communicating are essential for safety. This necessity applies to all outdoor activities.

By becoming a partner of ESI, APIK distributes its KIP offer to professionals in order to follow the equipped groups, to organize logistics, or to intervene quickly by knowing immediately where the beacon holders are.

ESI, Skiing's craftsmen

The professionals who form the core of the ESI are committed to providing a high-quality service. Smaller group sizes, for example, guarantee higher quality instruction as well as better relations between students and instructors.
