"The proposed compensation plan offers two options: a cash refund worth roughly 20% of the original purchase or a larger, 30% credit toward future ski passes. However, the funds are split into fixed pools: €12 million for cash refunds and €18 million for vouchers, raising concerns about how widely the compensation will actually reach."
"The Italian consumer protection agency 'Assoutenti' criticized the plan as 'not enough,' arguing that the 'first come, first served' system means many eligible skiers could miss out entirely once funds are exhausted."
"Access to refunds would not be automatic; instead, skiers must apply through a dedicated portal launching later this year and provide proof of purchase, a process that could prove difficult for those without records or traceable transactions."
Dolomiti Superski has proposed a €30 million compensation plan for skiers due to an antitrust investigation into price fixing. The plan includes cash refunds or credits for future ski passes. However, consumer groups criticize the offer as insufficient and express concerns about the limited availability of funds and the application process. The investigation examines whether Dolomiti Superski coordinated pricing and sales policies that restricted competition, potentially violating Italian and EU laws. The compensation scheme's structure may disadvantage many skiers, particularly those without proof of purchase.
