1 Intense sports and music agenda
2 AGENDA 5-7 APRIL 2024

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 meters), up to two and a half meters thick, and an extensive sports and music program in what is one of the busiest and liveliest moments of the winter season 2023/24.

 

After the snowfalls and strong winds of last weekend, the technical services of the resort have recovered the offer prior to the passage of the Nelson squall, which, in addition to bringing between 50 and 80 centimeters of new snow, hit hard and with a strong wind. meters of new snow, hit hard some of the ski lifts of the ski resort, generating blocks of ice on pulleys and rockers, and unhooking the cable of chairlifts such as Stadium, Monachil or Virgen de las Nieves.

 

The slopes staff has had to work hard to put some lifts back into operation.

 

All in all, the resort faces the spring ski season with great snow conditions. The areas of Laguna and Borreguiles accumulate up to two and a half meters of powder snow, the same quality as in the Veleta area with almost two meters of snow on some slopes. The other three ski areas of the resort, Loma Dílar, Río and Cauchiles-Parador accumulated between 75 and 130 centimeters of spring snow.

 

The station offers these days all its skiable slope, the 1,200 meters that separate the vicinity of the Veleta peak of the urbanization of Pradollano. There is a risk of avalanche 4 over 5, so the slopes service of Sierra Nevada asks that users respect the signs that they will find on the slopes.

 

Sierra Nevada reaches 90 kilometres and up to two and a half meters of snow.

 

Intense sports and music agenda


Otherwise, the sports and music agenda is, this weekend, 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 largest participation 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-kilometre Ultra, starts this Friday (22.00h) in Granada; the first runners will arrive at Pradollano, after previously reaching an altitude of 3,000 meters, at midday on Saturday.

 

Another major event will be the National Veterans Trophy , which will attract to the Sierra Nevada ski resort the best Spanish skiers in the Masters range, and which this year will be held in the Sierra Nevada ski resort.This edition will be dedicated to the late former president of the FADI, Juan Luis Hernandez, who was one of the great promoters of this competition.

 

On the other hand, one of the best Spanish skiers of all time, Carolina Ruiz, will be in charge this Saturday of the Carolina Ruiz Challenge, considered one of the most important ski competitions for children on the national scene.

 

The Andalusian University Alpine Skiing Championship and the Trofeo Ruralito - Copa Andalucía de Esquí Alpino complete the sports agenda for the first weekend of April.

 

The competition is the protagonist these days in Sierra Nevada.
