You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Sierra Nevada Ski Station''' is a [[ski resort]] in the [[Sierra Nevada (Spain)|Sierra Nevada]] in the province of [[province of Granada|Granada]] in southeastern [[Spain]]. The ski area is on the northwestern slopes of [[Veleta (Sierra Nevada)|Veleta]], the third highest peak in [[Peninsular Spain]] and the most southerly ski resort in [[Europe]].

The resort hosted the [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships]] in [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1996|1996]] and occasionally hosts [[FIS Alpine Ski World Cup|World Cup]] races, the last being the women's technical races in [[2007 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2007]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/alpineskiing/fiscalendar.html?place_search=Nevada&seasoncode_search=all&sector_search=AL&date_search=&gender_search=&category_search=&codex_search=&nation_search=&disciplinecode_search=&search=Search&limit=20&date_from=today |title=FIS Calendar |publisher=FIS-Ski |access-date=2012-03-09))</ref> In recent years World Slope and Freestyle events took place at the site, which also hosted the [[2015 Winter Universiade]], the world university games. In March 2017, Sierra Nevada hosted the [[FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships 2017|FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships]].

==Description==
Sierra Nevada is Europe's southernmost [[ski resort]],<ref>((cite web|author=Article published: 09.06.09 |url=http://www.skiinfo.com/News/SierraNevada-EESSIERRANE-104-en.jhtml?a=138988 |title=Europe's Most Southerly Ski Area Open For Spanish Ski Team Training |publisher=Skiinfo.com |access-date=2012-03-09))</ref> and the highest in Spain.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.snowpipe.com/estaciones/sistemapenibetico/sierranevada.htm |title=Sierra Nevada. Estaciones de España. Snowboard y esqui |publisher=Snowpipe.com |access-date=2012-03-09))</ref> Due to its high [[elevation]], the skiing season can last from late November until early May. Particularly towards the end of the season it experiences sunny days of skiing, although wind can be problematic for skiiers due to Veleta's [[Topographic prominence|prominence]] and few trees. The resort is situated ((convert|27|km|abbr=on)) from the city of [[Granada]], and is accessed by the A-395. The nearest larger city is [[Málaga]].

At the foot of the slopes there is a resort village, Pradollano, which stretches up a hill to the north of the pistes. The bottom of the village is about ((convert|2100|m|-1|abbr=on)) above [[sea level]], while the summit is just below ((convert|3400|m|-1|abbr=on)). Pradollano is home to a large number of shops, including many that sell or rent ski equipment, souvenir shops and a small supermarket. There is also a variety of ski schools, restaurants, cafés, bars and nightclubs.

The mid-station Borreguiles, which is served by two cable cars that run from the bottom of Pradollano, is at ((convert|2675|m|-1|abbr=on)). There are a few cafés and restaurants, a [[ski school]], a few hire shops and lockers.

The resort is run by a private-public enterprise called ''Cetursa Sierra Nevada, S.A.''.

==Activities==
The main attraction for visitors to the resort is the ((convert|105|km|-1|abbr=on)) of alpine skiing runs. The resort is located wholly above the tree line. The resort does not carry out avalanche blasting, and skiers are generally advised against leaving the pistes due to avalanche risk. The World Cup Giant Slalom run known as “Fuente del Tesoro” is a challenging track<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.skiweekends.com/ski-weekends/resorts-and-hotels/spain/sierra-nevada|title=Sierra Nevada Ski Areas|website=Ski Weekends|access-date=2017-12-06))</ref> As the resort mainly caters to locals, and less to people visiting for a whole week, it is much busier at weekends. There are rarely any queues mid-week outside the main Spanish holidays (first week of December, Christmas through to 6 January and Easter). Even at weekends, queues are generally fairly short by comparison to other European areas especially if the whole resort is open, allowing skiers to spread out across the mountain.

In recent years the resort has made an effort to increase the number of services it offers, including expanding the Mirlo Blanco recreation zone, which now has an ice rink, toboggans, ski-bikes, mini-skis and a track for wheeled toboggans. Some of the heaviest investments have been put into developing what is currently the longest Slope style line in Europe with over 71 modules and a possibility of linking 46 of them in one continuous line. In addition to this, the largest Half Pipe in the country has also been developed.

Summer activities include walking, cycling, horse-riding, and mountain climbing in the area. One of the cable cars and one chairlift are kept open in July and August, making it relatively easy for hikers to reach the summit of Veleta. The African coast can sometimes be glimpsed on clear days.

Also during the summer months, the National Parks office runs a minibus service from Hoya de la Mora, just above the resort village, to Posiciones del Veleta, at ((convert|3100|m|-1|abbr=on)). The service includes a guided commentary about the geology and ecology of the Sierra Nevada.<ref>[http://www.treksierranevada.com/getting-around#special-buses Microbus services in the Sierra Nevada]</ref>

))
==Transport==
A bus service connects the resort to the main bus station in the city of Granada, with the journey taking approximately 45 minutes. The bus station is on Avenida de Juan Pablo II. During the skiing season, weekday buses run from the bus station to the resort at 08:00, 10:00 and 17:00, returning at 09:00, 16:00 and 18:30. At weekends and on public holidays they leave Granada at 08:00, 10:00, 15:00 and 17:00, and return at 09:00, 13:00, 16:00 and 18:30. Outside the skiing season, there is a daily bus to the resort at 09:00, while the bus back down leaves at 17:00.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lovegranada.com/buses/sierra-nevada/ |title=Sierra Nevada Bus - Timetables, Companies and Ticket Prices |publisher=Lovegranada.com |access-date=2012-03-09))</ref>

There is also a minibus service that shuttles between the bottom and top of Pradollano, as well as a chair-lift suitable for non-skiers that connects the bottom, middle and top of the village.

==Further information==
[[File:Sierra Nevada Borreguiles 7.jpg|thumb|Borreguiles ski station.]]
The resort is located ((convert|32|km|0|abbr=on)) from the centre of Granada and is a 50-minute drive.

The ski season normally lasts from the beginning of December until the end of April or beginning of May. The existence of artificial snow machines mean that the resort can open for skiing even when there is no natural snow. Andalusia has a very high proportion of sunny days even in the winter and usually it is possible to ski with beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures.

The highest summit of the Sierra Nevada range is Mulhacén at ((convert|3481|m|abbr=on)), the highest ski lift and piste goes to just below Veleta, which is at ((convert|3398|m||abbr=on)).
