Federcosorzio, together with the twelve participating Consortia, is believed to have engaged in an anti-competitive agreement aimed at fixing local skipass prices and the relevant sales policy

The Italian Competition Authority has launched an investigation into Federconsorzio Dolomiti SuperSki (full name: Federazione dei Consorzi di zona degli imprenditori esercenti il trasporto di persone Dolomiti SuperSki) and the twelve local participating Consortia over a suspected violation of section 2 of Law 287/1990 and article 101 of the TFEU. The twelve Consortia are: Consorzio esercenti impianti a fune Cortina d’Ampezzo, S. Vito di Cadore, Auronzo/Misurina; Consorzio esercenti impianti a fune Skirama Plan de Corones - Kronplatz; Consorzio impianti a fune Alta Badia; Consorzio esercenti impianti a fune Val Gardena - Alpe di Siusi; Consorzio impianti a fune Val di Fassa e Carezza; Consorzio esercenti il trasporto di persone a mezzo impianti a fune Alpe Lusia - San Pellegrino; Consorzio impianti a fune Civetta; Consorzio impianti a fune Arabba - Marmolada; Consorzio 3 Zinnen Dolomites; Consorzio impianti a fune Val di Fiemme - Obereggen; Consorzio impianti a fune San Martino di Castrozza e Passo Rolle; Consorzio Rio Pusteria - Bressanone.

Specifically, several clauses contained in Federcosorzio’s By-Laws point to two substantial anti-competitive practices: the first consists in fixing the price of the local Consortia’s skipasses within Federconsorzio Dolomiti SuperSki; the second practice places limitations on the local Consortia’s ability to sell their skipasses through third parties.

An inspection at the premises of Federconsorzio Dolomiti SuperSki and the twelve local Consortia was carried out yesterday by the Authority’s officials, assisted by the Special Antitrust Unit of the Italian Financial Police (Guardia di Finanza).
