About
Mérida is a historic, non-operational ski area in Venezuela. Ski operations are not active. Mérida, in the Sierra Nevada of the Venezuelan Andes near Pico Espejo, was the site of Venezuela's only high-altitude alpine skiing, including an international competition first held in 1956. Reliable snow has long since vanished and downhill skiing is no longer possible; the famous Mérida cable car (teleférico) still operates to the summit purely as a sightseeing attraction.
