Club de Esquí Caja Rural

The Caja Rural Ski Club is a non-profit association that aims to promote sports in the region through the promotion of skiing and snowboarding along with other sports and outdoor activities. All activities take place around Sierra Nevada and the city of Granada. In winter, alpine skiing, snowboarding and artistic skiing clubs become relevant. In these clubs, children and young people from the juvenile, infant and youth categories are prepared so that they can participate in regional and national competitions. They are trained by former members of the club, and there are groups for all levels.

Outside the winter season the club organizes other outdoor activities, among which the following stand out:

- Hiking routes guided by a professional instructor. They are an excellent opportunity to get to know the region better while making new friends and exercising outdoors.

- Canoe Tours: you can participate with your own material or, if you don't have it, rent it from the club. There are also introductory canoeing courses. Likewise, the nautical activities section organizes many other activities such as sailing courses for all levels, classes to prepare for the boat skipper's license exam, etc.

Caja Rural Ski Club is the alpine ski section of the Caja Rural Ski Club of Granada. It is a non-profit association that seeks to promote and encourage skiing among young people in order to compete at the team level. The club has sections for the three major snow sports practiced in our country: alpine skiing, snowboarding and artistic skiing.

There are competition groups of fry, children and youth, and also some smaller ones. All of them are trained by skiers who once also belonged to the club, which serves to maintain cohesion and the feeling of belonging. The Caja Rural Ski Club is more than a club, it is almost a small family.

The training sessions are very technical and complete, always oriented towards competition with the ultimate goal of achieving the greatest success in both regional and national races. A program specially prepared to improve performance in competition is followed that includes all types of activities such as indoor skiing, physical preparation sessions, training with skates and poles to simulate the sensation of skiing on the asphalt, etc.

If your children are fond of skiing and want to dedicate themselves to this sport with a little more commitment to be able to improve and advance, the Caja Rural Ski Club is a great option.

Caja Rural Snowboard Ski Club is the snowboard section of the Caja Rural Ski Club. It has been in operation since 1999, almost 15 years. The objective is that in the not too near future it will be equal to the alpine ski section.

To do this, they have monitors/collaborators who are often former members of the club. They teach groups of children of all levels between the juvenile and youth categories. The ultimate goal is for these children to end up competing in both regional and national championships. It is ultimately an option so that children who love snowboarding can dedicate themselves to this sport with a little more commitment than simply going snowboarding once a year.

Another of the club's important sections is artistic skiing, based on a much less known aspect of skiing such as jumps and pirouettes. However, the section is very successful among the students, and some of them have ended up being Spanish champions in this modality.

If you are looking for a different sport for your children, snowboarding may be your solution.

The Caja Rural Hiking Ski Club is a section created to organize hiking routes and excursions in the season when there is no snow and therefore you cannot practice skiing or snowboarding. The routes are always guided by a qualified and highly experienced instructor who knows every corner of the Sierra Nevada and knows how to choose the best paths.

Departures take placeevery Saturday and Sunday. Different routes are chosen and alternated each weekend, but in general they are all very accessible so that practically all members can participate.

Hiking is an ideal activity to disconnect from your routine while walking through nature and breathing fresh air. If you also go in the company of other club members, the tour will be much more enjoyable, and before you realize it, you will have spent the day exercising and in good company.

Dare to do something different with your weekends and enjoy the countryside meeting people with your same hobbies and tastes. The Caja Rural Ski Club makes it very easy for you.
