Sierra Nevada faces the last week of the winter season, which ends on Sunday, April 28, with 19 skiable kilometers concentrated in the areas of Veleta and Borreguiles with the usual winter schedule. The snow, with thicknesses in the open areas of 20 to 90 centimeters, is of spring quality.
Until Sunday, April 28, the last day of the 2023/24 hotel offer, five 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 skiing offer, the only one of its kind in Southern Europe.
Sierra Nevada will concentrate its ski area in Veleta and Borreguiles.
The ski resort will also keep facilities open for non-skiers in Pradollano (Mirlo sled) and Borreguiles (snow Water Water Slides). Also, Sierra Nevada will offer special prices on Ski Passes and access to the subway car park for this last week.
On the other hand, the ski resort closed this weekend the sports calendar of the season with the celebration of the Asogaf charity trophy (bumps) and the Memorial Fernando Rivera, ski mountaineering.
For his part, the president of the Association of Entrepreneurs of Sierra Nevada, Ordoño Vázquez, has indicated this Monday that "theseason ends on the 28th unfortunately", after many of the ski resorts have closed.s that have closed many of the businesses of the ski resort of Granada in a month of April "complicated" by, among other circumstances, the cuts in the access road to the winter enclosure by a landslide.
The businessmen had asked that the season could be extended until May 5, due to the good conditions of snow in spring that there is in the winter enclosure, and following the agreement that was reached at the time in the Parliament, although the beginning of the works in the A-395 in the second week of April changed the situation, and now they give the approval to maintain the date foreseen of closing this next Sunday.
"Things have not been done well by everyone to get to May 5. The promotional work for the spring activities that has been done from Cetursa are good, but for future seasons should be improved in terms of communication to send a clear message to the customer so you can know if in April skiing or not skiing.
There are times when, even if you want and believe that there is enough snow to hold on, you have to consider that there is not enough visitors to keep neither the resort open nor the businesses, a good part of which have already been closing in the last few weeks.
The collapse of the road has obviously done some damage. It is necessary to be meticulous with a matter like the closing of the season, in a year in which April has also been complicated because Easter fell in March".
