A Testament to Excellence and Innovation

The Demac Lenko SnowPRO 260 is designed to produce up to 260m³ of snow per day in temperatures as warm as 20°C, ensuring consistent snow coverage across the resort, especially in the beginner area on Friday Flat. This cutting-edge snowmaking technology will enhance the guest experience and help guarantee fantastic conditions, even during warmer weather.
