  • Professionals at your service

    In the winter, over 250 people work to ensure your comfort and safety in the Skiing Area:
    Rescue trackers: they are responsible for safety and rescue across the whole skiing area. They open and close the slopes, trigger avalanches, fit safety nets, warn of dangers and come to the aid of those at risk.
    Operating agents: they work at the departure and arrival of each ski lift and ensure that skiers get on and off safely; some of them are authorised to check, repair and carry out maintenance work on the equipment.
    Snow leveller drivers: they drive specially equipped snow levellers and maintain and shape the slopes; they work at night, outside the working hours of the skiing area.
    – Snowmakers: they are responsible for “making snow” to ensure that there is a sufficient level of good-quality snow at the resort from December to April. They keep the snow machines in good working order.
    – Reception, administrative and sales staff: also on duty 7 days a week to round off the teams and answer any of your questions about the weather and the conditions for the Skiing Area being open.
