1992

Creation of CIS, the extreme hotelier

It all began in August 1992 in Siberia, some sixty kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, not far from the town of Usinsk, still known as Oussinsk. A lost world to be cleared on the territory of the Komi Republic, then an integral part of the USSR, freezing in winter at minus 50 degrees and infested with mosquitoes at thaw.

Regis Arnoux & Collaborator

Régis Arnoux, passionate about adventure and travel, founded CIS in 1992, a company specializing in catering and hospitality in extreme environments.

CIS defines itself as an extreme hotelier. This definition came into its own when the Group signed its first contract in Usinsk.

“CIS was chosen from among ten proposals. I had my first contract, a milestone had been reached. I speak of it all the more passionately because, 30 years after that first step, we’re still in Usinsk,” says Régis Arnoux.
