Overview

• Sierra Nevada officially closed its 2024/25 ski season on May 4, achieving a record 1.25 million visitors, including 861,400 skiers, a 10% increase from the previous year.
• The season began late on December 13 due to insufficient snow and warm temperatures, missing the key holiday period of early December.
• Operational challenges included 12 weather-related shutdowns, primarily due to wind, and a planned lift-operator strike in March that was largely averted after government intervention.
• Significant investments of over €100 million supported infrastructure upgrades, including new telecabina cabins, expanded snowmaking capacity, and enhanced facilities for adaptive skiing.
• The resort extended its season into May with the 'Esquía la primavera' campaign, capitalizing on March snowfall and ending as the last ski station in southern Europe to close.
