The Organization of Autonomous National Parks has decided not to renew the land concession for three slopes in the Valsaín area (Segovia), thus resulting in the closure of the Puerto de Navacerrada ski resort.
With a statement, the station managers explained that it was a difficult season due to the health context and the restrictions generated by Covid-19, but that the decision of the OAPN, which depends on the Ministry for Ecological Transition, not to renew the granting three runs, it was the hardest blow. These are the El Bosque, El Escaparate and El Telégrafo slopes, with 100% snow for all seasons, suitable for beginners and where ski schools go to teach.
The ski resort on its website thanked its friends and users for the unconditional support received during the season and above all, in the last months after the decision not to renew the land concession. Thanks also to colleagues for the work done in recent months, to ski instructors, hoteliers, rentals and to all those who have given their best every year to offer the best service to skiers.
To try to save the ski resort, a petition was created on the website www.salvemosesquinavacerrada.org where you can also read an open letter addressed to the members of the Organization of Autonomous National Parks.

Dolomiti UNESCO, il bilancio di Banca d'Italia: +9% di pernottamenti senza consumare più territorio
Il paper di Banca d'Italia analizza gli effetti sui flussi turistici e sull'ambiente nei 4 anni successivi all'iscrizione delle Dolomiti nella lista dei Patrimoni Mondiali dell'Umanità, avvenuta nel 2009. A fronte di un incremento delle presenze, il numero di strutture turistiche non è cresciuto e quello di posti letto si è ridotto. Ai maggiori flussi turistici non si è associato né un aumento del consumo di suolo né una maggiore produzione di rifiuti, dimostrando il potenziale del riconoscimento UNESCO nel generare benefici economici locali senza compromettere la qualità ambientale, a condizione che siano in atto un efficace coordinamento istituzionale e solide garanzie normative.
