Spanish Government Rejects Super-Tram Plan

By Patrick Thorne on October 26, 2007

Plans to build a giant tram to Sierra Nevada have been blocked.

The Spanish Ministry for the Environment has come out against a plan to build the longest cable car in the world to the Sierra Nevada ski area. The resort had proposed the idea of constructing a 12 mile long tram line from the nearby coastal city of Granada up to the ski slopes, cutting the need for tens of thousands of car journeys daily.

A final environmental report is yet to be published and the debate may yet continue although the Spanish Government has initially opposed the plan, due to its perceived impact on National Park land in the area.

new access routes to sierra nevada

Any improvement to the access availability to the Sierra Nevada ski resort would be so welcomed. I work in the travel and tourism industry in uk and have difficulty in promoting this resort purely due to the difficult access into the village by a long winding and dangerous road which is often blocked especially at the weekends with long queues of cars. Surely a cable car from either granada or the lecrin valley area would improve the problems and increase the visitors both through winter and the summer months. I know it would be a lot easier for me to sell holidays to the area with improved access.
