The five stations of the FGC Group have renovated and unified their mobile applications with the aim of making them easier to use, improving the visitor experience and offering updated information at all times.
The FGC Group's tourist destination applications for smartphones and tablets incorporate new functionalities and services thanks to the group's commitment to new technologies. This update allows users to have all the necessary information for each station from a single environment, with a common design that reinforces the FGC Group's brand image.
Despite sharing the same structure and operation, each application adapts to the particularities of each station, offering specific content and services according to the needs of visitors.
Real-time information to enjoy the station
Through a simple registration, the applications allow the user to personalize the experience and save information related to their activity at any of the five stations.
The main screen offers a summary of the activity carried out, as well as updated information on the status of the resort, the weather and snow conditions. Through the main menu, users can access different sections with real-time information.
Among the available functionalities is the consultation of the status of the slopes, open and closed slopes, the snow level, available lifts and snow thicknesses.
You can also check the resort webcams to see the status of the slopes live, discover the activities available, locate routes on the map and get directions to reach the different points of interest.
In addition, the applications allow you to record routes using GPS, consult services in the area and, in some cases, make reservations at hotels and restaurants. The La Molina application also includes the possibility of purchasing ski passes directly from your mobile device.
A social and security component
The FGC Group applications also incorporate social functionalities that allow you to share activities, interact with other users and connect with people who are at the same station or in other destinations.
Visitors can record their activities, locate them on the resort map, share them on social networks and check the location of friends or family, thus facilitating the organization of the day in the mountains.
Safety is another of the highlights of the applications. In case of emergency, they allow a call for help to be made while simultaneously sending the user's exact location using GPS coordinates. They also offer direct access to the stations' emergency services.
Summer activities and year-round services
The FGC Group's applications are not just designed for the winter season. They also allow you to discover the summer activities available at each station, such as hiking routes, cycling routes, family activities, pony circuits, tubbys or the use of chairlifts during the good weather months.
In addition, users can check the weather, view live webcams, access the stations' social networks and manage different services and reservations.
With these applications, the FGC Group brings the mountains closer to visitors and facilitates a more complete, safe and connected experience during any time of the year.
