FRABOSA SOTTANA – Prato Nevoso, work on the new Trucca Sapè reservoir will begin soon
The basin will have a storage capacity of 30 thousand cubic meters and will help guarantee programmed snow. The final authorizations for the start of the construction site are awaited
Prato Nevoso once again confirms its vocation as a ski resort constantly projected into the future and announces that work will soon begin for the construction of the new reservoir in the Trucca Sapè area, whose storage capacity will be equal to 30 thousand cubic meters of water , thus guaranteeing complete and simultaneous snow coverage of the entire skiable area.
The construction site (if the desired bureaucratic authorizations arrive by return post, the only missing piece to allow the circle to be closed) will begin in the next few weeks, in good time to ensure the completion of the works before the dawn of winter 2024/ 2025, during which it will therefore already be possible to benefit from the water resource stored in the new basin, which is also extremely useful on a social level even in the summer in the event of prolonged drought.
An innovative work, the importance of which is reflected not only in the implementation of artificial snow – a sector in which Prato Nevoso has been investing assiduously for years, making use of the cutting-edge technologies present on the market – but also and above all in the regular of the ski season, with associated positive effects on the entire valley from an economic and employment perspective. It should also not be forgotten that the Trucca Sapè reservoir will also have great tourist value during the summer season.
Prato Nevoso Spa, through its snowmaking manager, Enrico Martina, recalls that programmed snowmaking has now become a fundamental requirement for the proper functioning of ski resorts and to ensure the usual contribution of the latter to the valley economy , closely linked to what happens at altitude. Not only that: Prato Nevoso is committed to a path towards sustainability and envisages the construction of environmentally compensating works in the future, such as photovoltaic systems, which will be added to the hydroelectric power plants already present in the Municipality of Frabosa Sottana, ensuring clean energy production.
