1 Success of the big events

2 A year of recognition

Thus, the Andorran resort has four consecutive seasons of growth in the number of visitors with moderately upward dynamics in the Spanish, French, British and Northern European markets, mainly. The proximity markets such as Spanish and French have presented a positive evolution in terms of the influx this season.

For its part, the global calculation that emerges from the volume of influx of international markets has also been ascending this snow campaign with special emphasis on skiers from the United Kingdom and the countries of northern Europe.

In a winter campaign marked by the irregularity of rainfall, the field teams have accumulated more than 1,000 hours of cannon snow production and up to 25,700 hours of snowmobile machines , two tangible indicators that enhance the pace of intense and continuous work by part of the technical staff with the aim of guaranteeing the best conditions on the slopes.

However, the distribution of visitors throughout the season has been very regular, with a high average of skiers throughout the snow season with special peaks during the holiday periods of the Purísima, Christmas and Easter , and with some February and March with figures higher than the previous years.

Grandvalira has invested a total of 16 million euros mainly aimed at optimizing and improving the experiences of its customers and with the aim of continuing to position itself as the reference resort in southern Europe. The investments that have received a more remarkable return are those made and aimed at the family audience that have meant that this customer segment increases by 5 percentage points compared to 2014-15.

The commercial and marketing director of Grandvalira, Alfonso Torreño , has valued the results with satisfaction: “the marked strategy and positioning are only part of the good results. I want to place special emphasis on all the effort of the field and commercial teams in a less abundant snow season. The investments have been very well received by skiers. We attach great importance to the 14,000 satisfaction surveys we have collected throughout the season. They are our most reliable indicator that the perception of the experience at Grandvalira is very close to the excellent one (score of 8.3 overall satisfaction ). We have already started working for the following season with the aim of polishing any detail that helps us improve customer service, the most important point of our work philosophy. ”
