Increased efficiency, reduced carbon footprint

TechnoAlpin constantly offers solutions to ski resort operators to help them face the new challenges associated to snow production, one of them being optimizing the energy consumption of their snow gun fleets, to reduce the carbon footprint.

In that respect, upgrading to the latest technological standards, for snow production quality and output, as well as gaining efficiency, is particularly straightforward and cost-effective when it comes to lance snow producers. Indeed, in many instances, it is necessary to just replace the lance heads of existing snow producers to benefit from superior performances of the latest models, while keeping the same lance pipe and pit valve – a reduced investment that yields significant saving, both in energy and time.

This upcoming winter season, TechnoAlpin’s sales team will be assisting and advising ski area operators on how to optimize and modernize their older snowmaking systems. Two major projects are planned for the French market in 2024/2025: the ski resorts of Courchevel 3 Valleys (Tarentaise region) and Valloire (Maurienne region). Both ski resorts consistently invest in the development and enhancement of their snowmaking systems, which are designed by TechnoAlpin, to ensure they remain at the forefront of performance and can offer the best conditions to their guests.

As part of their development plans for the next season, they have decided to upgrade a significant number of older generation lances: 40 lance heads will be replaced with 40 TL4 EE at Courchevel and 35 lance heads will be replaced with 35 Rubis Evo at Valloire.
