About
Puerto de Navacerrada sits in the Sierra de Guadarrama an hour from Madrid, among Spain's oldest ski areas, with winter sports there since 1907 and the country's first chairlift installed in 1955. The station ran from about 1,703 to 2,174 meters, a 471 meter drop, on a handful of lifts serving around 5 kilometers of marked pistes. Spain's Supreme Court upheld dismantling the Castilla y Leon side in March 2026, ending decades of skiing there; the Madrid side runs under a separate concession.
