Ski The Community of Madrid wants to keep the Navacerrada ski resort open
The Superior Court of Justice of Castilla y León (TSJCyL) this Thursday condemned the Board to declare the expiration of the concession of the Navacerrada ski resort and to resolve the liquidation,
the removal of the facilities and the restoration of the area
, as well as such as the settlement of compensation if applicable.
The ruling is the first step in the resolution of the conflict that was triggered on March 3, 2021, when the
Autonomous Organization of National Parks
communicated the non-renewal of the concession to occupy the slopes adjacent to the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park,
The
Duero Hydrographic Confederation
took the next step, declaring extinguished the right to take water from the Telégrafo stream, essential for the production of artificial snow canyons.
The ruling issued yesterday
forces the Executive of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco
to declare the expiration of the occupation and order the dismantling, since National Parks, the only competent body for this, terminated the concession.
In statements to GRAN MADRID, José Conesa, director of the Puerto de Navacerrada ski resort, was cautious in pointing out that he had not yet read the judicial resolution. However, he stated: "
We are calm
, because it is a resolution that does not affect us, it affects Castilla y León." "When your Government makes a decision, we will see what to do."
This season, the resort has continued
to operate in rebellion,
although skiing has only been possible for two days.
