In response to the changing climate, Vialattea has extended 8,900 meters of snowmaking lines in the Alpette – Borgata and Lower Banchetta Sectors, ensuring snow-covered slopes even at lower altitudes. The installation of advanced snow generators will improve ski-ability by enabling faster snow production while reducing energy consumption. This initiative supports Vialattea’s commitment to sustainability, already demonstrated by its use of 100% renewable energy, which cuts CO2 emissions by around 2,900 tonnes annually.
Vialattea’s 2025 season promises an action-packed line-up of events, kicking off in mid-January with the World University Games Winter-Ski Mountaineering.
