A franchise and license opportunity for story-based snowparks

The park is based on newly developed IP,  representing great franchise and license opportunities. This IP features a marmot’s family and their other animal friends from the Alps experiencing all kinds of fun adventures in the snow park. The IP is developed and owned by the company initiating this snow park concept and includes already its own 4D movie, merchandise catalog, games and theme concepts.

By immersing the visitors into a storytelling Alpine winter landscape with mountain sceneries, chalet facades, snowy rockwork, terraces, and real snowfall, the visitor will create unforgettable memories. The company has developed different business models for the new snow parks, for different parts of the world, resulting in very interesting ROI opportunities with a payback time between 3 and 5 years.

There are 60+ possible snow attractions like ice games and attractions for all age groups tailored for any location depending on market size and target groups. Some 20 of these are featured in the first snow park opening soon, including:

• lots of snow play;
• bumper cars on ice;
• kids snowmobiling;
• snow tubing carousel;
• snow diggers;
• straight and curved slides;
• synthetic ice climbing;
• climbing and crawling for toddlers;
• high ropes course;
• ice-skating and curling rink;
• rotating sliding disc;
• an ice cave; a 3D theatre;
• storytelling corner;
• AR and VR games;
• an educational tour featuring the flora and fauna in the Alps.
