Sierra Nevada closes the season with 1,250,000 users, 12% more than in the previous year

Nota Informativa

Imágenes de la temporada

- &nbsp;The Granada resort, the busiest with 143 days of operation, closes this Sunday the winter campaign as the only skiable offer in southern Europe.
- With 861,400 skiers, the number of skiers grew by 10% compared to the previous season, while snow activities for non-skiers again beat its record with 233,000 users.&nbsp;
- The season, with a complicated start due to lack of snow, was one of the busiest Februaries in history and made a great qualitative leap with the March snowfalls that provided thicknesses of more than 3 meters and a great spring.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Sierra Nevada has closed this Sunday, May 4, the winter season 2024/25 and, as usual, has done so as the only skiable offer in Southern Europe thanks to the extension by one week of the planned calendar, and as the winter center with greater activity of the Peninsula with 143 days of skiing, plus another 13 days of exclusively tourist use coinciding in the start of the campaign.
Thus, the winter resort of Granada has concluded the season with a total of 1,250,000 users, 12.5 percent more than the previous season, thanks to the improvement of all the indicators; of the total number of users 861,400 were skiers (+10%), 156,000, visitors of cable car (+22%) and 233,000, of activities (+15%). This last figure represents an all-time record of visitors to snow activities for non-skiers in Pradollano (Mirlo Blanco complex) and Borreguiles.
Of the total number of skiers, more than 96% were of Spanish nationality, and among them, the majority came from Andalusia (73%) and Madrid (11%). The occupancy rate, from December to May, was 62 percent of the hotel plant in Pradollano.
As in the rest of the Peninsula, the season started with many complications due to lack of rainfall, which forced to open the resort facilities since November 30 in tourist use, that is, with an open gondola lift and snow activities in Borreguiles, until December 13, when the ski season was launched.&nbsp;
Thanks to the snowmaking system, especially relevant at the beginning of the season, Sierra Nevada gradually increased its skiable offer, although it was not until the “traditional” snowfall of Epiphany when the first slopes of the Veleta area could be opened.
From then on, the resort improved its performance, reached in February the third best number of skiers since there are records (273,400) and in March a succession of snow precipitation led to the opening of all areas and lifts of Sierra Nevada with the best ski conditions of the season.
From November 30, 2024 to May 4, 2025, Sierra Nevada recorded 364.8 liters per square meter, of which 245.4 were in the form of snow in the lower part of the ski area and 329.3 in the upper area (from Borreguiles to Veleta). The average thickness on the slopes ranged from 45 centimeters (minimum) to 90 centimeters (maximum).&nbsp;
Throughout the season, wind storms caused the closure of the facilities on 12 occasions, ten of them total and two partial.&nbsp;

Sierra Nevada will inaugurate night skiing on the illuminated slope of El Río this Saturday, 1 February, and it will continue every Saturday until 5 March. Thus, El Río, if the weather conditions do not prevent it, will open to the public, with freshly trodden snow, its 3.2 kilometres between the Borreguiles area (2,700m) and the Pradollano development (2,100m). This slope is illuminated with 30 floodlights to make it completely safe for night skiing.
Sierra Nevada, a pioneering resort in the practice of this activity, opens the Al-Andalus cable car from 19.00 to 21.30h, to give access to the illuminated El Río slope.&nbsp;
This activity has a special ski pass that can be purchased either online or at ticket offices and cashiers, which will remain open until 21:45. Likewise, those who want to ski during the day and at night can purchase a day + night ski pass pack.&nbsp;
The gondola lift will be open for skiers and for those who want to go up to watch the race, without interfering with the normal operation of night skiing. The start of the XIV Snow Running Sierra Nevada championship will be at 18:30.
On Saturday 22 February, night skiing will coincide with the astronomical activity dedicated to Orion and the winter constellations. The activity will begin with a talk in Sala Sulayr using the most advanced astronomical software available, to situate our planet and the Solar System as a whole in relation to our galaxy and the rest of the Universe (approximately 50 minutes). Then, under the extraordinary starry sky of Sierra Nevada, there will be an interpretation of the night sky with the naked eye from the Chill Out terrace, in which, using laser pointers, the astronomers of Azimuth will give the basis for understanding what can be seen in the starry sky.

The good conditions of the El Río slope after the last snowfalls allow the opening of the night skiing activity in El Río The Snow Running race will coincide with this first night of night skiing.

La oferta cultural se completará con el festival de rock Sierra Nevada por Todo lo Alto, que volverá a ser el plato fuerte del programa musical (23 y 24 de agosto).

Hinds and Mujeres, headliners of the Sierra Nevada Por Todo lo Alto Festival

The SIERRA NEVADA POR TODO LO ALTO Festival, the highest altitude musical event of the summer in Spain, has a full line-up for its 14th edition which, as always free of charge, will be held on 23rd and 24th August in the Plaza de Andalucía in Pradollano.
Three bands per night and a morning children's programme dedicated to the little ones make up the combination of rock, mountains and family for one of the most unique events on the national festival scene. 
The first of the most important names to come up to the mountain this year is one of the female rock bands that the organisers have had their eye on for years and that had been impossible to book due to scheduling: THE HINDS. In this 14th edition of the SIERRA NEVADA POR TODO LO ALTO Festival, the guitar rock of one of our most international bands will be playing at the top.
The other leading group is MUJERES. MUJERES is part of the emotional memory of several generations: of those who, like them, went back to striped T-shirts and old instruments. Once again they are back with new songs.
The Granadian festival, which is characterised as a family festival to be enjoyed in the middle of nature, cannot forget its musical workshops for children given by the music school Gabba Hey, which are held every year in morning sessions and divided by age. These workshops are usually sold out in minutes. Very soon we will be announcing the dates and instruments chosen for this year's workshops, remembering that places are limited. With the sponsorship of San Miguel beers, the SIERRA NEVADA POR TODO LO ALTO will once again be one of the most awaited festivals to say goodbye to the summer.

Sierra Nevada faces the last week of the season with 19 kilometres of skiable slopes

Fotos Sierra Nevada 21-04-2024

Sierra Nevada faces the last week of the winter season with 19 skiable kilometres concentrated in the Veleta and Borreguiles areas with the usual winter timetable (8.30am to 4.45pm). The snow, with thicknesses in the open areas ranging from 20 to 90 centimetres, is of spring quality. Until Sunday 28 April, the last day of the 2023/24 season, five ski lifts will be open (Al Ándalus gondola lift, Emile Allais and Veleta chairlifts, Dauro II carpet and Zayas chairlift) which will provide access to this ski offer, the only one of its kind in Southern Europe. The resort will also keep facilities open for non-skiers in Pradollano (Mirlo sledge) and Borreguiles (snow slides). Likewise, Sierra Nevada will offer very special prices on ski passes and access to the underground car park for this last week. On the other hand, the resort closed the season's sports calendar this weekend with the celebration of the Asogaf charity trophy (moguls) and the Fernando Rivera Memorial, in ski mountaineering. In addition, the riders of the national team continue in this last week with their post-season concentration with morning training sessions on the Cordón slope, in the Veleta area.

La estación, única que permanece abierta en el Sur de Europa, mantendrá 5 remontes operativos hasta el domingo 28 de abril

 

Sierra Nevada faces the first weekend of April with all the areas open

Sierra Nevada faces the first weekend of April with more than 90 skiable kilometres, with slopes in all areas of the resort, the entire operating vertical drop (1,200 metres), up to two and a half metres thick, and an extensive sports and music programme in what is one of the busiest and liveliest moments of the 2023/24 winter season.  After last weekend's snowfalls and strong winds, the resort's technical services have recovered the offer prior to the passage of the Nelson squall, which, in addition to bringing between 50 and 80 centimetres of new snow, hit some of the resort's ski lifts hard, generating blocks of ice on pulleys and rockers, and unhooking the cable of chairlifts such as Stadium, Monachil or Virgen de las Nieves.  All in all, the resort faces the spring season with great snow conditions. The Laguna and Borreguiles areas accumulate up to two and a half metres of powder snow, the same quality as in the Veleta area with almost two metres of snow on some pistes. The other three sectors of the resort, Loma Dílar, Río and Cauchiles-Parador accumulated between 75 and 130 centimetres of spring snow.

Intense sporting and musical agenda
As for the rest, the sporting and musical agenda this weekend is one of the most intense of the winter season.
The Sun and Snow festival kicks off this Friday with its fifth edition, the most ambitious electronic music event held at the highest altitude in southern Europe, with four stages distributed from Pradollano to Borreguiles, where - until Sunday - 36 musical sessions will take place.
The sports agenda includes five major events. The most popular will be the Ultra Sierra Nevada with more than 1,500 mountain runners registered in its four distances: Ultra, Trail, Marathon and Half Marathon. The main event, the 100 km Ultra, starts this Friday (22.00h) in Granada; the first runners will arrive at Pradollano, after reaching an altitude of 3,000 metres, at midday on Saturday.
Another of the big events will be the National Veterans Trophy, which will attract the best Spanish skiers in the Masters category to Sierra Nevada. This edition will be dedicated to the late former president of the FADI, Juan Luis Hernández, who was one of the driving forces behind this competition.
On the other hand, one of the best Spanish skiers of all time, Carolina Ruiz, will be at the head of theAudio Quattro Cup-Carolina Ruiz Challenge, considered one of the most important ski competitions for children on the national scene. 
The Andalusian University Alpine Skiing Championship and theTrofeo Ruralito - Copa Andalucía de Esquí Alpino complete the sports agenda for the first weekend of April.

Sierra Nevada expands new snowpark for spring

The new snow situation in Sierra Nevada has allowed since this weekend the extension of the snowpark to four lines of modules and jumps (and a fifth under construction) on both sides of the Loma de Dílar chairlift, with which the freestyle offer experiences a significant growth for the spring season in the winter resort of Granada.
This is the implementation of the new snowpark project designed at the beginning of the season in collaboration with the Andalusian Winter Sports Federation and which has finally been carried out now thanks to the snowfall recorded in Sierra Nevada just over a week ago.
The construction of the snowpark, which will be finished in the first days of this week with new modules, has followed criteria of evolution by levels, from beginners to experts. Its location on the side of the Loma de Dílar chairlift allows for a high frequency of descents on the different lines.

Sierra Nevada opens new themed slopes for children

Fotos fun trail

- The ski resort opens this weekend 4 runs with decorations and interactive elements for families to have fun.
Sierra Nevada opens this weekend its four fully themed slopes, one of the new features of the ski resort for the 2023/24 season, which aim to make the ski day more fun for children and their parents. 
Thus, new figures and ski circuits have been added to the El Mar slope, which had allegorical elements of the seabed, before reaching the mouth of the shark, which is one of the icons of the slope.
Further down, in the beginners' area, is the Kids Fun Trail, where young skiers can interact with forest and mountain animals and descend a skills circuit.    
 In the Loma de Dilar area, the Family Fun Trail has been installed, a route where children and families can go down the slopes by negotiating interactive elements, including punching bags, spinning hands, a coin to crash, a xylophone and a tunnel to make the descent more fun.
In the Cauchiles ski area, a circuit has been set up with totems indicating the entrance and exit of the Iberian fauna: the Cauchiles Fun Trail, where users will also find different elements to interact with, such as rotating hands, punching bags, bumping hands and a xylophone.

Sierra Nevada goes (almost) to 100

Fotos de pistas

The ski and mountain resort of Sierra Nevada has reached today, with 97 kilometres (118 slopes), the largest skiable surface since the 2019/20 season thanks to the accumulations of snow registered during the past weekend, with up to 2 metres in areas such as Borreguiles.
The opening of almost all the slopes in the Laguna area and a good part of the runs in the Parador-Cauchiles area has allowed Sierra Nevada to reach the last third of the season in the best moment of the 23/24 winter season.
The resort is also recovering some of the facilities affected by the storm, such as the snowpark, which from this weekend will have around 30 modules on both sides of the Loma de Dílar chairlift, as well as a platform in the big jumps sector, which will be used for the Spanish Slopestyle Championships on the weekend of 23 and 24 March.
Meanwhile, this weekend the resort will host four official sporting competitions: the Reyes Santa Olalla and Nazarí bumps trophies, as well as the White Camp and Club Monachil alpine skiing trophies, both of which count towards the Jesús Serra inclusive trophy.
Sierra Nevada also brings back the music sessions in Borreguiles with the performance of the DJs Julián Movilla and Rober Peinado this Friday 15th March on the Chill Out terrace.
Also, the activities for non-skiers in the Borreguiles area are back and the Mirlo blanco activities are still open in Pradollano with its toboggans, sledges, ice rink and Mirlo sledge.
The weather forecast for the next few days predicts predominantly clear skies, no significant winds and slightly rising temperatures.
