Case of Success

Valdelinares ski resort

Tipology
High pressure pumping
Artificial innovation

Location
Valdelinares
Teruel, España.

The Valdelinares ski resort was undergoing expansion, with new slopes being created and a need to enlarge its artificial snowmaking network.

The project involved pumping 20 liters per second (expandable to 40 liters per second) to an existing reservoir located at 1986 meters, from a catchment point situated at 1587 meters.

The pipeline route runs for its first 3 km through an area with a steep slope, notably wooded, and with some ups and downs.
