Inaugurated on Saturday, March 9 by the president of FGC Turisme, Toni Segarra, and the director of the resort, David Ros, this facility will considerably improve the high mountain experience for those who have a specific hygiene need.
Currently, there are many elderly people, people with functional diversity, with chronic diseases or with reduced mobility who cannot access standard toilets and need specific hygiene equipment or the assistance of one or two people.
The new Boí Taüll changing room has a space of 16 m2 and has all the basic elements to guarantee maximum comfort and cleanliness: a height-adjustable stretcher, a crane that reaches everywhere, a height-adjustable toilet, a shower, a privacy partition, a full-length mirror with a curtain that can be opened and closed as needed, as well as recycling garbage cans and a sanitary device for people with ostomies.
The president of FGC, Toni Segarra, has confirmed that
"Ferrocarrils' commitment is to carry out a policy of continuous improvement of our facilities so that as many people as possible can come and enjoy our facilities and our activities 365 days a year. It is our contribution to the territory and to our environment".
In this sense, during the inauguration ceremony, the new Boí Taüll footbridge was also presented , which makes the core of the base of the resort accessible. This access begins in the car park P2 (where there are already reserved places for people with reduced mobility), and reaches the main terrace, where the services are located. It is 142 meters long and has a maximum slope of 8%, which makes it possible to access wheelchairs and other devices. This element represents a breakthrough, as the central axis was previously not accessible.
Current appearance of the Boí Taüll ski resort.
-Section 1: Upper car park lot up to the toilets at the Cow Boí Terrace. It has a slope of 3.8% and a length of 70 meters. It exceeds a height of 1.75 meters.
-Section 2: It is located between terraces and has a maximum slope of 8%, with the corresponding landings. It exceeds a height of 1.65 meters, in a length of 27.27 meters.
-Section 3: Up to the tower. It has a section of tramex and a section of work. Its maximum slope is 8%, with the corresponding landings and exceeds a height of 2.35m, in a length of 44.91 meters.
This winter season, Boí Taüll has also installed a magnetic loop in the customer service area, designed to facilitate access for people with hearing and sensory functional diversity.
These devices represent a technical aid that facilitates hearing for users of hearing aids or cochlear implants, since in these systems the sound arrives directly to the hearing prosthesis of the hearing-impaired person, who will not hear the ambient noise or the nearby conversations of other visitors.
In this way, the station improves accessibility for people with alternative functionality, who, according to INE data, represent 10% of the Spanish population.
This initiative is part of the Vall de Boí Tourism Sustainability Plan (PSTD), deployed in the Catalan municipality with European Next Generation EU funds.
