The History of White Gold

Founded in 2014 by two brothers, Éric and Stéphan Lacas, L'Or Blanc is the result of a deep passion for the mountains and skiing in all its forms. Introduced to the joys of skiing from a young age, they grew up between groomed slopes, off-piste skiing, and high-altitude adventures. With decades of experience under their belt, they wanted to share their unique vision: to offer high-end heliskiing, freeride, and ski touring trips, tailor-made for demanding skiers and companies seeking exclusive experiences.

Today, L'Or Blanc accompanies its clients to the most beautiful destinations: Canada, the Alps, Iceland, Turkey, Japan... Each trip is planned down to the smallest detail: choice of itineraries, supervision by certified guides, refined accommodations and personalized services. With L'Or Blanc, the passion for the mountains becomes a unique adventure, combining safety, freedom and authenticity.

Mountain Experts at Your Service for a Unique Stay

Éric Lacas, founder of L'Or Blanc and former member of the French Alpine Ski Team (1998-2002), will personally accompany you from the first contact to the last turn of your trip. Each adventure is tailor-made: your skiing level, your availability, your desires, and your budget are taken into account to create a unique, exclusive, and completely secure experience.

Because the mountains are a demanding world, L'Or Blanc provides you with certified guides and carefully selected partners to guarantee your safety and transform each stay into an unforgettable adventure.
