The BMW Polo Masters last week in Val d’Isère was an incredible edition despite the difficulties encountered setting up the event due to the exceptional meteorological conditions. Its success is down to the ski resort’s technical services, the hoteliers, socio-professionals and our providers who rose to the challenge of this magnificent event.
4 teams in the radiant sunshine and freezing cold were rapidly supported by the active participation of the hoteliers and restaurants in the resort, who pulled out all the stops to keep the public warm.
The BMW Polo Masters in Val d’Isère, Barmes Trophy Pro Am has become, without doubt, the resort’s indispensable event.
