French ski brand Fusalp has completed its latest financing round, with new shareholders acquiring a total stake of 12% in the company.

The majority of Fusalp remains in the hands of Sophie Lacoste, Philippe Lacoste and Alexandre Fauvet, who took control of the company in 2014. Together, they own 84% of the business.
