Sierra Nevada: maximum lift rates authorized for the 2026/2027 season

The Regional Government of Andalusia (Junta de Andalucía) has authorized and made public the update of the maximum rates for the cable transport facilities of the Sierra Nevada Ski Resort for the 2026/2027 season, accompanied by the corresponding application rules. The decision corresponds to the Territorial Delegation of Housing, Youth, Territorial Planning, Public Works, and Mobility in Granada and is formalized in an Announcement dated October 19, 2026. The text appears published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia (BOJA) no. 206, of October 23, 2026, with the reference text no. 13915.

The announcement is inserted in section 5.2 of the gazette, reserved for “Other official announcements,” and spans two pages. The Territorial Delegation that signs it depends on the Ministry of Public Works and Mobility, the department to which the BOJA expressly assigns this communication in its summary. It is, therefore, an administrative act of provincial scope issued within the framework of regional competencies regarding transport and mountain infrastructure.

The publication is not a minor formality: the administrative authorization is what allows the resort manager to apply the lift prices throughout the snow campaign. The announcement speaks of an “update” of the maximum rates, meaning the revision of the price ceiling that the Administration authorizes for the entirety of the cable transport facilities of the Granada resort.

The scope of the authorization

The purpose of the announcement is twofold. On one hand, it authorizes the rate update; on the other, it orders its publicity, so that the applicable prices are known by the users before they become enforceable. The authorization covers the cable transport facilities as a whole, not an isolated lift, and is limited to the 2026/2027 season.

The essential data of the published act are as follows:

• Issuing body: Territorial Delegation of Housing, Youth, Territorial Planning, Public Works, and Mobility in Granada.
• Date of announcement: October 19, 2026.
• Purpose: update of the maximum rates for the cable transport facilities.
• Scope: Sierra Nevada Ski Resort, province of Granada.
• Application period: 2026/2027 season.
• Publication: BOJA no. 206, of October 23, 2026, section 5.2, text no. 13915, two pages.

Application rules for the user

Along with the price list, the announcement incorporates the “corresponding application rules.” This is the block of conditions that the Administration authorizes at the same time as the rates and which determines how these are applied to those using the lifts: what is charged, in which cases, and with what usage rules associated with each rate.

The chosen formula—authorizing and publishing in a single act—places the station’s economic conditions in the official bulletin, providing the season’s prices with public documentary backing that can be consulted by any interested party, not just the station operator.

Who it affects

The announcement has a direct impact on several groups:

• Skiers and users of the Sierra Nevada lifts, who face the season with a new schedule of maximum prices.
• Tourism and service companies in Granada and its surroundings, whose winter activity is organized around the station and its rates.
• The station manager, who remains subject to the authorized limit and the published application rules.

Sierra Nevada is the benchmark ski resort of the southern peninsula and an economic engine for the province of Granada during the snowy months. The update arrives with the new season in sight and sets the price framework with which the campaign will open.

The purpose of the publication is twofold: legal, because it turns the administrative authorization into a public and enforceable act; and practical, because it allows skiers, agencies, and service companies to know the price ceiling for the lifts in advance. Any claim regarding the prices applied during the 2026/2027 season will thus have a specific official reference in the BOJA.
