The Puigmal 2900 company, which manages the highest ski resort in the Pyrénées-Orientales, was declared in liquidation on Wednesday by the commercial court of Perpignan, the company and the city’s mayor learned on Thursday.
The station, previously managed by the surrounding municipalities, with a maximum height of 2,700 meters, closed in 2013 due to a debt of 9.2 million euros, due in particular to the lack of snow for several seasons.
A diversification project
The six investors of Puigmal 2900 took over the station in 2021, in the form of a public service delegation, with a project to diversify activities to depend less on the weather. But they also suffered significant dangers, with a broken chairlift in 2021 and insufficient snow in 2022.
The municipality must now decide on the future of the station, whether or not to relaunch a new public service delegation. In the meantime, it should remain closed at least this winter.
