The winter resort of Sierra Nevada will open this Friday the ski season 2024/25 with an inaugural ski offer that will be established in the snow report of tomorrow Thursday (16:00 hours approx).
The slopes and lifts that will be put into service on the opening day will depend on the progress in snow production and the eventual snowfall that some weather forecasts indicate.
Slopes and lifts in the Borreguiles Beginners area are considered guaranteed for this Friday, although this initial forecast may vary for the weekend.
Currently, the snowmaking system is concentrating production in the Principiantes and El Río areas. The snow groomers are already performing snow conditioning works, prior to the opening of the ski season.
The snow activities for pedestrians, which until now have been operating next to the Borreguiles carpet, will be moved to their usual location and to the Mirlo Blanco activity complex in Pradollano.
The subway parking lot in the Plaza de Andalucía, which has been free since November 30, will become pay parking this Friday.
The Parador chairlift, which runs through the urbanization of Pradollano, will open from Saturday.

Sierra Nevada maintains the tourist opening for the long weekend

Sierra Nevada will continue this bank holiday with snow activities for non-skiers in the Borreguiles area, which will be accessed by the Al Ándalus gondola lift and the Borreguiles carpet, which will be operational during the usual winter timetable, from 09:00 to 16:45.
In Borreguiles, users will find a snow area for sledges and donuts next to the Borreguiles carpet. The shop located at the top station of the Al Ándalus gondola lift will be open. &nbsp;The Central Grill restaurant in the Borreguiles building and ‘The puro Burger’ hamburger bar will also be open.
In Pradollano, the Mirlo Blanco activity complex will be up and running with the Mirlo sledge, slides with sliding carpet with donuts, as in summer, and the ice rink from 6 December.
The Al Ándalus and Borreguiles rentals will be open for use of the ski lockers and lockers.
The underground car park in the Plaza de Andalucía will be free of charge.
Sierra Nevada, which has produced occasional snow in recent days, is waiting for the abrupt drop in temperatures from Saturday to activate the snow system in optimal conditions, with the forecast that the ski season can be inaugurated in the second half of next week.
In the meantime, the offer of activities for non-skiers in Sierra Nevada will be maintained, until further evaluation of the weather situation and snow conditions in the first days of next week, when information on the opening for skiing will be given.

Sierra Nevada opens the summer season with a concert by rock band Apache

Fotos Verano Sierra Nevada

A concert by the band Apache, in collaboration with the Granada Music and Dance Festival, opens this Saturday (21.30h in the Plaza de Andalucía, free) the summer programme in the ski and mountain resort, which will continue with mountain activities, electric bikes, sports, music and astro-tourism activities until 25 August.
&nbsp;The recital by the legendary cover band is already a classic at the start of summer in Sierra Nevada. Hours before the Apache start with their repertoire of the best pop rock of all time, the summer facilities and activities on the great mountain of Granada will already be up and running.
&nbsp;Two ski lifts (the Al-Andalus gondola lift and the Veleta chairlift) will take users from the 2,100 metres of Pradollano to 3,000 metres above sea level, from where some of the most attractive mountain trails in the Sierra Nevada, such as the route to the Veleta, Tajos de la Virgen, Elorrieta or Mulhacén and the excursions to the lagoons around the resort (Yeguas, Lagunillos de la Virgen or La Caldera) will start.
&nbsp;At the same time, the Mirlo Blanco activity park will open with facilities for children and families, the swimming pool at the Montebajo sports club and the guided routes on electric bicycles.

El programa de astronomía volverá a girar sobre las observaciones del amanecer y atardecer desde el Veleta, visitas al observatorio astronómico, excursiones para la observación de la luna o el cielo nocturno y las jornadas de observación de las Perseidas (9 y 10 de agosto) como fechas más destacadas.

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). El viernes 23 tendrá como cabeza de cartel al grupo Mujeres y también actuaran Alerta Cross y Berrinches. El sábado es el turno de Hins, Jornada B y Red Soul Community.
&nbsp;La festividad de la Virgen de las Nieves de Pradollano, del 2 al 5 de agosto con la tradicional romería a los Tajos de la Virgen la madrugada del 4 de&nbsp;agosto.
&nbsp;La Cicloturista al Veleta (cicloturismo) y el Subida Internacional Pico Veleta (ultrafondo) componen el programa deportivo del verano&nbsp;2024.
&nbsp;Durante el verano, un buen número de restaurantes y establecimientos de alojamiento garantizarán el disfrute estival de Sierra Nevada, donde el paisaje de alta montaña y las suaves temperaturas volverán a ser sus grandes atractivos.

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.

The new Emile Allais and Alhambra chairlifts carried a total of 15,282 users per day in January 2023, 64% more than in the last two January reference months, those of 2022 and 2020 (in 2021 the use of all the lifts was residual due to the pandemic).
Thus, the Emile Allais, a six-seater detachable ski lift with the same route as the old chairlift of the same name, carried 269,814 users on 26 days of operation in January (it was closed for three days and partially closed for two). For its part, the Alhambra, also a detachable six-seater, but with a different - shorter - route than the Velela II which it replaced, registered a total of 135,500 skiers in 24 days of operation (it was closed for 7 days).
With these data, the new Emile Allais last month increased its daily transport capacity by 63 percent compared to January 2022 (182,806 users without closure days) and by 61 percent over the same month in 2020 (173,814 users with 5 closure days, two of them partial). The new Alhambra chairlift has similar percentages, increasing the number of passengers/day by 67% over January 2022 (105,099 without closure days) and 65% over 2020 (89,014 with six closure days, one partial).

The two new chairlifts have dramatically increased the frequency of descents in Borreguiles and the use of skiing time by skiers on their first days in the snow. The technical management of the resort, while valuing these data as very good, considers that they could be improved with a more efficient management of the accesses and a greater involvement of professionals and users. 
To this end, it has developed an information campaign to ensure that Emile Allais in particular is not chosen as a ski lift for beginner skiers' first contact with winter sports, in order to avoid falls when boarding or disembarking from the lift, as the Borreguiles beginners' mats are more appropriate for this purpose.
