What activhandi does

Activhandi, operated by the French SAS FLORELINA (founded 2017, headquartered in Dingy-Saint-Clair, Haute-Savoie), runs a two-sided web marketplace that connects people with disabilities and reduced mobility to accessible outdoor leisure activities and adapted mountain-tourism stays. The core platform lists over 100 curated, verified accessible walking trails and outdoor activities across France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Spain, filterable by disability type (motor, visual, hearing, mental, psychic, polyhandicap, invisible), accessibility features (adapted parking, accessible toilets, picnic areas), terrain, elevation gain, and distance. Each listing carries manually verified accessibility metadata and photographs, with options to request an accompanying guide or browse self-guided tours.

The company operates a complementary booking platform, Activexperience, launched in 2022, which specialises in adapted mountain-tourism stays in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and internationally through travel-agency distribution. Technology is web-only (no mobile app, no public API) and the Espace Pro B2B portal allows municipalities, tourist offices, activity centres, camps, gîtes, guides, and event organisers to list accessible services. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure, the Activhandi word mark is registered, and the company has won eight regional French awards (including Label Montagne Innovante & Internationale, Trophée RSE, and Fondation Pierre Dumas).

Monetisation is structurally modest: B2C usage is free, professional account creation is free at signup with subscription/transaction fees applied at scale, and revenue derives from a mix of B2B platform subscriptions and Activexperience booking commissions. The team is small (founder Florian VALLET, co-founder/directrice générale Angélina PERGOD, with Olympic engineer Damien Lafaverges of ABEST joining Spring 2025) and no external funding rounds have been disclosed, indicating a founder-controlled micro-SME anchored in the Annecy Base Camp and European Outdoor Sports Valley ecosystem.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Viator (Tripadvisor): Viator is a large global tours-and-activities marketplace operated by Tripadvisor. It competes in the same booking-and-discovery category as Activhandi/Activexperience and could expand into accessible inventory over time.
• TourRadar: TourRadar is a multi-day adventure tour marketplace connecting travelers to tour operators worldwide. It parallels Activexperience's adapted-stay booking model at a larger, generalist scale.
• Komoot: Komoot is a European route-planning platform for hiking, cycling, and mountain sports with turn-by-turn navigation. It shares the trail-discovery and outdoor-activity-planning functionality that underlies Activhandi's core product.
• AllTrails: AllTrails is the largest global hiking trail discovery platform with millions of user-generated routes and reviews. It overlaps with Activhandi's trail-discovery function but serves a generalist outdoor audience without disability-specific filtering.
• GetYourGuide: GetYourGuide is a global marketplace for tours, activities, and experiences with a large operator inventory and consumer brand. It is comparable to Activhandi's marketplace function at scale and represents a potential competitive threat if it adds accessibility filters.

Regional players

• Jolly Roger (Handiplage / Handi plage): Handiplage is the French governmental label identifying accessible beaches with bathing facilities for people with disabilities. It is a comparable French accessibility-information resource focused on coastal bathing, intersecting with Activhandi's accessible-outdoor-recreation mission.

Direct peers

• Outdooractive: Outdooractive is a European outdoor activity and trail platform with crowdsourced routes, GPS navigation, and tour packages. It is comparable to Activhandi's trail-discovery function, though it lacks disability-type accessibility metadata and inclusion-specific curation.
• AccessibleGO: AccessibleGO is a booking platform for accessible hotels, cruises, and travel experiences, with accessibility-filtered inventory and disability-specific search criteria. It directly overlaps with Activhandi's mission of connecting people with disabilities to vetted accessible travel options.
• Sage Traveling: Sage Traveling provides accessible trip planning, guided tours, and accessible travel advice for travelers with mobility, visual, and other disabilities in Europe. It mirrors Activhandi's curated accessible-itinerary approach in the European outdoor and cultural tourism market.
• Wheel the World: Wheel the World is an accessible travel marketplace that connects travelers with disabilities to verified accessible accommodations, tours, and activities globally. It is directly comparable to Activhandi as a two-sided platform specializing in disability-accessible travel inventory with verified accessibility metadata.
