1 Great success of news and activities

2 The best bridge of the immaculate of the last 6 years

3 Good expectations for the Christmas holidays

Vallnord starts the winter season 2017 - 2018 strongly after more than 29,000 people have taken advantage of the holidays to visit both seasons over the past week. The work of the teams of the stations on the ski slopes, together with the arrival of new snow, have meant that, daily, more than 4,100 users have been able to enjoy up to 75% of the open ski slopes and also 90 % of mechanical connections , with fresh snow accumulated up to 80 centimeters after the last rainfall.

Thus, the full hotel occupancy of these days in the Principality has been translated into a large influx on the ski slopes of
La Massana and Ordino , with special presence of tourists from Catalonia, Valencia and the Basque Country, among others
communities

Great success of news and activities

Vallnord - Pal Arinsal station has counted, since the beginning of this week that the Purísima Bridge has ended, the visit of more than 18,000 people. Thus, the domain has received from Monday, December 4 and until Sunday, a daily average of approximately 3,000 skiers who have enjoyed 87% of the facilities and 60% of the open slopes , covered by new snow following from the snowfall of the last nights.

The ski days have shared prominence with parallel activities, highlighting the success that the news has had between families and groups.

Thus, the new winter proposals and the gastronomic offer have been the ideal complement for the visitors' stay: both the expanded terrace of the Pla de la Cot restaurant and the restaurants of the new Coll de la Botella service building have called the attention of users, who have increased their spending in these gastronomic points. Of special success have also been the proposals opened this winter: the snowmobile excursions from the Coll de la Botella and the 340 meter zip line of the Caubella, the Big Zip, have had a very good reception among the clients that , this purest, have spent the week in the seasons
of the Massana.

The best bridge of the immaculate of the last 6 years

Vallnord - Ordino Arcalís station says goodbye to the best week of the Purest of the last 6 years, registering a 30% increase in visitors compared to last 2016. In this way, the ski slopes of Ordino kick off of the season with record numbers, since they have received a total of 11,000 visitors since the beginning of this week characterized by various holidays, on Monday, December 4. These data place Ordino Arcalís 20% above the number of skiers he had received until this date in 2016. However, in these first ten days of the season the domain has already increased its income by 17% compared to the initial stage of last season.

The good results of the first days of winter in Vallnord - Ordino Arcalís are largely explained by the conditions with which the skiers have been welcomed. Progressively the station has increased the number of facilities, to the point that these days had 75% of the open slopes and had 90% of the ski lifts in operation . These percentages will increase progressively in the coming days, since snowfall is predicted that will still improve conditions to face the important Christmas event.

News Vallnord

Good expectations for the Christmas holidays

The satisfaction of the customers after these days in the Vallnord stations and the forecast of snowfall make the seasons face the next days until the Christmas holidays with very good prospects. Today, the percentage of open facilities continues to increase permanently and it is expected to reach full operation thanks to the rainfall that has already started this weekend leaving more than 10 centimeters of snow and which, according to the weather forecast, will increase as of today and will be extended all week. The time, added to the work on the slopes, makes the holidays that begin in less than two weeks, the domains of Massana and Ordino expect to receive families and groups in the best conditions and offering them, again, all services and the most attractive proposals in the snow.

Once this first important event of the season is closed with satisfaction, both seasons already prepare the reception of visitors during Christmas days.
