Investments that translate into service guarantee and customer satisfaction

The investments and improvements made this winter have allowed to perform a good track maintenance work and comply with the season's opening and closing calendar. The creation of the Arinsal water raft and the new cultivation snow cannons, have allowed to maintain the season and guarantee good conditions of the slopes. The lack of rainfall during this season has made it necessary 379,580 m3 of water for the production of snow distributed in 2,071 hours while last year, in 1,801 hours there were already 229,202 m3. These investments have helped optimize the snow production task and work performance.

Record Restoration and Services

As for children's and family activities, Vallnord - PalArinsal continues to make improvements that allow a better reception for children and families. The alternative activities offered have been a good option for customers who do not ski but, at the same time, want to enjoy the snow. Likewise, Snowplus is the big bet that this season has received about 1000 children, an increase of 10.8% compared to 2017-2018. As for the ski school, snowboard and snow gardens, the resort has worked throughout the season to offer the best services.

In restoration, the investments have also allowed us to improve the services offered to the customers, both for the experience of the local and the gastronomic quality.

In this season, the number of formations has increased 50% compared to 2017-2018. In addition, the trend of repeaters remains: 76% of seasonal workers repeat each year in the massanenca resort and at the same time, it is the one that employs the most workers annually with the opening of the summer season.
