PALO ALTO, Calif., June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In its fifth year of partnership with Catalate, Val Cenis is the first resort in Europe to offer a Weather Guarantee for guests purchasing ski lift tickets.

Building upon five years of successful collaboration, Val Cenis recently renewed its partnership with Catalate for another three years. Val Cenis now offers an innovative new feature that allows guests to purchase a Weather Guarantee with their lift tickets. In partnership with Sensible Weather via Catalate's white-label e-commerce platform, Cloud Store, Val Cenis will offer guests the option to protect their ski experience from precipitation uncertainties. When the daily forecast shows rain or snow, guests automatically receive reimbursement without the need for cancellation.

Sensible's Weather Guarantee, implemented via API to Catalate's Cloud Store, offers dynamically displayed guarantees that provide peace of mind to visitors. Furthermore, this product has recently expanded globally, ensuring its availability to support multiple currencies and languages.

"We are thrilled to be Europe's first ski resort to introduce the Weather Guarantee," said Yves Dimier, Director at Val Cenis. "Our partnership with Catalate and Sensible Weather allows us to enhance our guests' experience, enabling them to focus on the joy of skiing while knowing it is protected against unpredictable weather conditions."

Val Cenis will join other esteemed Catalate Partners, including Gulf Islands Waterpark and Mt. Baldy Resort, in their commitment to improving guest experiences through the Weather Guarantee.
