Chamonix - Les Grands Montets | France

Since 1996, Chamonix has trusted MND to assist it with its snowmaking needs.

In the mythical resort of Grands-Montets, the water captured comes from the melting glaciers of the Mont-Blanc massif and is highly loaded with minerals, which creates premature wear and tear on the snowmaking equipment. A water treatment solution has been found to increase their lifespan and guarantee better durability.

• snow guns: the lower part of the network is equipped with more than 50 TAURUS 2.0 poles which benefit from high water pressure. The upper part is equipped with PEAK fans.
• the machine rooms: in the main pumping room, in addition to the traditional filtration, 5 cyclonic filters are installed, the only technology allowing the elimination of the finest particles.
