Grundfos pump systems ensure that snow cannons produce artificial snow on demand at Switzerland's Engstligenalp ski resort.
The pumps not only take care of water supply to the entire resort – including to an artificial ice waterfall for climbers – but also in the making of snow igloo restaurants. The Grundfos system has allowed the resort to enlarge its popular igloo restaurant to accommodate about 170 guests at a time.
Grundfos supplied its heavy-duty, multi-stage, in-line CRNE pumps and “intelligent” controls for the snow cannons, as well as for the resort’s groundwater pump house.
