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.
