Verbier: Enhanced snowmaking capacity 

In early November 2022, the operator of the Verbier 4 Vallées ski area started making snow with the new snowmaking system in the Lac des Vaux region. This snowmaking project, which was launched in 2021, was carried out on a turnkey basis by TechnoAlpin's teams. In addition to the installation of new pits and snow guns coupled with the construction of pumping and booster stations, new pipelines were also laid. A connection with water resources in the Savoleyre area was made in a bid to improve the handling of water resources for snow production in the ski area and the various regions of Verbier. For this purpose, a new bore hole was drilled in the lake to a depth of 7 meters. The challenge and specific feature of this technique: The work was carried out when the lake was full!

The company is very proud of the trusting relationship it has built up with the ski area operator, Téléverbier, over the years. The resort has chosen TechnoAlpin's innovative solutions to guarantee snow coverage on the Verbier 4 Vallées slopes since 2009!
