Published: Sep 27, 2023

1.2 A concession with a clear commitment to sustainability

1.3 Increase of the fee and all activities.

1.4 100 million euros of investment

1.5 The Funicamp will pass to SAETDE

This Monday, September 25, the Comú d'Encamp convened a 'town meeting' to explain to the residents of this parish of Andorra, the points reached with SAETDE to sign a new management agreement for 50 years of the ski areas managed by this company in Pas de Casa, Grau Roig and Encamp, as well as the Funicamp that gives direct access to the heart of the ski areas of Pas de Casa and Grau Roig.The company manages the ski ski areas of Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig and Encamp for 50 years, as well as the Funicamp that gives direct access to the heart of Grandvalira. Grandvalira.

The forecast is that this agreement is signed this coming Thursday, September 28, but before the Comú wanted to explain the details, as well as to attend to the requests and questions. Two meetings have been organized, one in Pas de la Casa and the other in Encamp.

The senior consul, Laura Mas, has explained all the points of the new concession, explaining that the same, once approved, will lead to the extinction of the current one, to the express waiver by SAETDE of the "historical rights" that it has claimed on several occasions and a new legal situation that brings much more security and security to the new concession.He explained that, once approved, it will lead to the termination of the current concession, the express waiver by SAETDE of the "historical rights" that it has claimed on several occasions and a new legal situation that brings much more security and clarity to the concession, on the one hand, with the new concession contract, and on the other, with the reform of the company's bylaws that brings, among other points, a mandatory distribution of dividends of 10% and a better position of the Comú.

The main points of the new concession.

A new ski lift will open slopes at Pic Maià and will give access to a panoramic restaurant.

Expansion towards Pic Maià and the Pessons circle area will be freed up.

The new concession will maintain an important part of the current hectares, but with two important changes: it will expand towards the Pic Maià area and the 1,080 ha of the Circ de Pessons will be left out, which will lead to the creation of a future Natural Park.

A concession with a clear commitment to sustainability

Among the points of the new concession are various actions for the reduction of energy consumption, carbon footprint and the incorporation of renewable energy generation. Landscape criteria are applied to ensure the integration of infrastructures and guarantee the development of traditional activities and the right of way.

Increase of the fee and all activities.

One of the main points of the new concession is the fee that will be applied in the new concession, since a percentage of all activities carried out within the ski area will be charged. The current concession contemplates a 6% fee limited only to the sale of ski passes. The new concession will apply a progressive increase starting at 6.5 from 35 million euros of turnover, and may reach 8% depending on this income (increasing half a point each time).

In addition, 2% will be levied on internal complementary activities, such as the restaurant, the ski school, and 6% on external complementary activities, such as insurance or outsourced catering.

100 million euros of investment

The Consul Major explained that one of the important points of the new concession will be the investment plan, guaranteed by contract that SAETDE will invest 42 million euros in the next 10 years and a minimum of 100 million euros over the 50 years of the concession.

The main investments foreseen are as follows:

In Pas de la casa the remodeling of the Encamp avenue in collaboration with the Comú to make it a real foot of slopes.

Construction of a new service building in the area of the platform rearranging the access by Bearn street.

Construction of a new ski lift to Pic Maià.

Two new restaurants, one in the same area of pic Maià and the other in Abelletes with services such as the ski school.

Most of the investments are concentrated in Pas de la Casa, but also in other ski areas, such as Grau Roig, where an investment of 2.5 million euros is planned for the service building and a one-time fee of 900,000 euros at the beginning.

The Funicamp will pass to SAETDE

The operation and maintenance of the funicamp and the entire first floor of the building (except the car park lot) will be included in the new concession, which will free the Encamp common of having to put every year at least 880,000 euros.

The new Grandvalira-Maià ski area will occupy 1,250 ha.
