      News in real time

      The application is participative, so users can report the state of the slopes, the presence of icy areas or the number of people present at the bottom of the lifts. Thanks to this information, which is visible to everyone, you can avoid long queues and choose the best runs and restaurants. What’s more, the SOS button sends your position to the emergency services, enabling them to intervene more quickly. So you can ski with greater peace of mind.
