Link it to their device (they'll need an internet connection).
On the day they ski, activate it (they'll need Bluetooth). - Can I uninstall the App once I've linked the Mobile Pass to my device?

No. It's not necessary. The Mobile Pass works with Bluetooth Low Energy technology, so there's no need to take it out of your pocket. That said, remember to keep it in a pocket on the left side of your jacket and avoid having other devices or cards on the same side, to prevent possible interference.

To use the Mobile Pass, you need an iOS or Android phone with Bluetooth enabled, the Grandvalira Resorts app installed, and to log in with the same email address used for the purchase.
- How can I buy the Mobile Pass?During the purchase process, we'll ask you how you'd like your pass: Mobile Pass or pass with physical card. The main difference is that the physical card must be collected at the resort's ticket offices or at Grandvalira Resorts' authorized printing points. On the other hand, if you select the Mobile Pass, we'll take care of sending it to you by email or directly to your Grandvalira Resorts App, along with all the necessary instructions to set it up.
- Does the Mobile Pass use a lot of phone battery?
It uses very little battery. With BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology, you'll barely notice any impact on your phone's battery. That said, just in case, come with your phone charged to 100%, and if not, we have chargers available at the resort.
