The increase in bills is also felt on theeconomy of the mountains. Estimates from Anef, the National Association of Cable Car Operators, say the price of ski pass should increase till the 30%. This is the card that gives free access to the ski facilities. An increase that is intended to balance the higher costs on managers. Valeria Ghezzi, the president of the association, assured that the increases for skiers will remain between 5 and 12%.
We urge the government to formally recognize the cable car companies as energy intensive and help them deal with this difficult situation which unfortunately does not depend on entrepreneurial ability.

The union has already calculated that the energy component will affect 10 to 30% of the budgets of companies with ski lifts. Today, ANEF covers 90% of the turnover of Italian companies in the ski cable car sector. There are over 1,500 plants and a workforce estimated at 11 thousand people, between permanent and seasonal.
Let’s talk about the Domobianca ski area, in Verbano-Cusio-Ossola. The yearly costs for thecurrent electric it goes from 60 million euros in 2021 to an estimated 250 million for the next ski season. Ski passes have one price increase by about 10%.
We think it’s a fair increase. The major stations have dictated the law on this and have come up with increases ranging from 10 to 15%, with this increase we do not cover the extra costs in the least.
