The Puerto de Navacerrada resort is the closest to Madrid and one of the oldest in Spain. Today it is mainly its lower area, on the Madrid side, that operates: a few short, cheap runs, ideal for a first day in the snow.
The resort has two sectors. The lower area, in Cercedilla, brings together the El Bosque run, 800 metres long and of high difficulty, the Escaparate and the Telégrafo, which are easy, and two beginners' runs, with three chairlifts and two conveyor belts between 1,760 and 1,931 metres. The upper area, with Guarramillas, Pala de Montañeros and Pluviómetro, is on the Segovia side and appears on the resort's website as "in recovery".
In March 2026 the Supreme Court made final the ruling that obliges the Junta de Castilla y León to dismantle the resort's installations in Segovia, whose concession expired in 2021. The Madrid part continues to open: the 2025-2026 season closed on 25 March and in November 2026 the resort announced the sale of passes for the new one. Before going, check on its website which runs and lifts are operating.
The rates published on the website, for the last season, are €28 for the adult day pass and €22 for the child's (up to age 13) from Tuesday to Friday on working days, and €32 and €28 at weekends, public holidays and holidays. The half day, sold from 13:00, costs €19 or €24 for adults. The pass includes rescue insurance on the slopes. The resort's hire shop, at the base of the Telégrafo, opens at weekends and on public holidays: a full ski set costs €17.
At the pass, the Navacerrada Spanish Ski School works, with a building 150 metres from the runs for more than sixty years, and Daktak, a snowboard school that has taught here since 2012.
Along the A-6 and the M-601 from Collado Villalba, about 60 km from Madrid. Without a car, the 691 bus from Moncloa goes through the pass and the bus that replaces the Cercedilla C-9 also stops here. On snow days, the DGT may require chains or close the M-601.
