Geotextiles sheeting on the Marmolada, the way the trial

The company will arrange the Marmolada cableway in the coming days about two thousand meters of beach towels on the trail that descends to the valley, in the part which marks the transition between the glacier and snowfield. After the positive experiences with the coverage of the Presena Glacier, also in Marmolada is used therefore to cover the summer, although for the moment it is minimal. The confirmation comes from the company's president, Mario Vascellari, which states that the coverage has also aim to reduce the action of insolation summer and save the work of the snow cats and snow machines to'' beginning of next winter .

"With the curtains that will settle at that point of the track will save about three thousand liters of diesel - said Vascellari - a reduction of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere of at least 3600 pounds.'' In addition, if we calculate the energy used to bring the'' water needed to '' snowmaking, we can add a savings of about 20,000 kWh of electricity. course, an advantage for the company but also for the environment''. " '' The past winter was anomalous compared to the trend recorded in recent years. The substantial and continuous snowfalls have increased the snowpack and cold and rainy spring has retained many of the precious blanket. '' The positive experience of the Presena, which in recent days has been covered about 90,000 square meters of sheets that allow you to store almost 130,000 cubic meters of snow, comes from this year also exploited in the'' Queen of the Dolomites albeit on a surface much smaller (2000 square meters) The cover design of the Marmolada with geotextiles sheeting was also proposed last year by the company and supported by cable cars Marmolada Mountain Wilderness, but the ruling by the Province of Trento had not arrived in time.'' Quest year began experimenting and if the results are positive, there will be perhaps to be expected, as happens on Presena,'' an early autumn opening of facilities and ski slopes, to the delight of all the Venetians and Trentini who can not wait for December start skiing.

Argentera

Argentera

Argentera si trova nell’alta Valle Stura, a pochi chilometri dal Colle della Maddalena e dal confine francese, in uno degli ambienti più appartati e selvaggi delle Alpi Marittime. Il comprensorio si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Bersezio, tra circa 1.630 e 2.500 metri di quota, in un paesaggio di lariceti e pendii d’alta montagna dominato dall’Oserot e dalla Rocca dei Tre Vescovi.
