Sierra Nevada in springtime

At the station

Tips

Those who know the Sierra Nevada well know that spring is one of the best times of the season to enjoy skiing, especially if the resort keeps all the areas open, with good snow thicknesses. The clear skies, the perfectly groomed pistes with a special spring treatment and the pleasant temperatures make this snow, which changes throughout the day, one of the best in the country for skiing at this time of year.
For all these reasons, here are five reasons not to miss skiing in spring:
1.- The snow
In spring, the snow conditions in Sierra Nevada are very special. Due to its altitude, the slopes are kept in very good condition throughout the day. Early in the morning the snow is hard, so it is advisable to start skiing in the lower areas of the resort: Rio, Loma Dilar, Cauchiles..., as the morning progresses the snow begins to melt, to have a layer of 2 or 3 cm of soft snow, so you can go up to the area of Borreguiles, to finish the day in the area of La Laguna or in the Veleta.
Itineraries:
1.- Skiers or snowboarders of medium or high level can choose to start the day by going up to the Loma de Dilar area, it is advisable to start the day's skiing via the Loma Dilar piste until returning to Pradollano; or in the case of experts, opt for the descent of a 'black' piste such as Fuente del Tesoro.
2.- Back in the cable car, skiers and snowboarders can opt for a few descents down Borreguiles - Perdiz, Rebeco, Zorro, Morillas, Granados, etc.-,
3.- After going back up the Stadium chairlift we can do the long run of the El Águila de Cauchiles piste or other red pistes in that area.
4.- Towards midday you can go up to the highest peaks by the Zayas chairlift to ski the slopes closest to the Veleta or to go into the Laguna, where the snow remains in better condition until early afternoon.
5.- Of course, beginner skiers have the green slopes of Borreguiles and the Family Zone of the Mar piste in perfect condition throughout the day and if they reach a certain level, our advice is to try the blue slopes of the Loma de Dilar or Borreguiles.

2.- The weather
According to the resort's weather data, recorded over the years, in April, Sierra Nevada enjoys a high percentage of sunny days. The temperatures in this month are milder, which makes skiing easier for the youngest skiers and also makes it easier for beginners to take to skiing, as they do not have to suffer the rigours of winter.
3.- The prices
Sierra Nevada has launched a special offer for spring. Two days skiing, for only 66€. On sale exclusively <a href="https://centrocomercio.sierranevada.es/primavera-2022">ONLINE</a>
you don't have a ski pass yet, you can withdraw it at the station's cash machines. The purchase of the 2-day SPRING ski pass -for the same person- is limited to one order per person. These passes can be used on any day of the 2021-2022 season, on alternate or consecutive days.

5.- The attractions of the province
Where else in the world can you ski in the morning and swim in the sea in the afternoon? We can assure you that nowhere else. In the Sierra Nevada you can enjoy the slopes in the morning and, within an hour, take a dip in the sea on the Costa Tropical during the long spring afternoons.
A good sun cream, sunglasses and light clothing are all you need to enjoy the Sierra Nevada snow until the end of the season.
Don't miss out!

SIERRA NEVADA ALREADY ADMITS BIZUM AS A FORM OF PAYMENT FOR ONLINE RESERVATIONS

On July 30, the Sierra Nevada ski resort launched Bizum as a new payment alternative for our customers. The purpose is to offer Sierra Nevada customers the possibility of paying for their purchases of ski passes or services with a fast, simple and versatile system such as BIZUM. For those younger customers who still do not have a credit or debit card, this option is the best.
Sierra Nevada has many clients with this profile and the implementation of this payment system makes us at the forefront. Bizum is a payment method that, due to its simplicity and speed, has had enormous growth and depth since its launch among the population.
One of the keys to its success is that it allows you to pay without having to provide any bank details, just your phone number. Previously, the client has to activate Bizum in their bank to be able to use it, but it is a very simple operation and almost all banks allow it to be activated with a “click” from the client's electronic banking system. The process in our online store is very simple: The customer accesses, at the end of their cart, the different payment options and chooses Bizum.

The INTERALPIN trade fair is a unique meeting place for alpine technologies. This year Doppelmayr and Sierra Nevada took the opportunity to present a new book: Sierra Nevada – The history of ropeways written by Juan José Lapuerta Rodríguez – a ropeway and winter sports enthusiast with a passion for history. The book presents the author’s research and unique historic discoveries. It is available in Spanish and English. When in the nineties of the last century Sierra Nevada was a candidate for the organization of the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, Doppelmayr understood the importance of the project and offered the necessary funding to carry it out being one of the elements of the success of this event in 1996. That is why the history of Sierra Nevada has been linked to Doppelmayr for decades.
But an unexpected derivative of this long relationship is that Juan José Lapuerta Rodríguez, who learned to ski in Sierra Nevada and studied civil engineering at the University of Granada, has ended up working for Doppelmayr in Wolfurt. Juan José is a restless man who is involved in various social initiatives, both in Austria and in Spain. For example, activities for the children of the village where he lives in the Bregenzerwald or the recovery of an old tramway that used to get the first skiers into what is now the Sierra Nevada National Park. Juan José Lapuerta Rodríguez began to study the lifts of the Sierra Nevada and, what at first was only a stimulus for his intellectual curiosity, became the project for a book that has recently been presented in Spain and is now being presented in its English version at the trade fair INTERALPIN 2023. Doppelmayr and Sierra Nevada have again collaborated to support this project.
Michael Doppelmayr, Chairman of the Board of the Doppelmayr Group, and the CEO of Sierra Nevada, Jesús Ibáñez, have highlighted the important research work done by Juan José Lapuerta Rodríguez with unpublished data on the history of ski lifts in general and in particular on those of Sierra Nevada. During his research Juan José Lapuerta Rodríguez’s curiosity led him to discovered a photograph of the ski resort Bödele from 1907 that shows what is supposed to be the very first ski lift – a unique piece of history which is presented in the book.
The book “Sierra Nevada – The History of Ropeways” highlights the importance and efforts of the snow industry to provide safe and future-proof entertainment for new generations. Snow is a great place to be and ski lifts bring the world of snow to everyone. It is not only a history of the machines, it is also the history of the men who built and used them. This approach also makes the book even more human and personal.
