| Sumario: | Snow avalanches, represent a significant risk in mountainous environments with high
tourist influx, such as Sierra Nevada (Spain). This study develops a methodology based on Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and multi-criteria analysis to identify areas susceptible to avalanche oc-
currence. Key variables such as altitude, slope, land cover, morphology, and accumulation zones
were analysed to generate susceptibility maps classified into four levels. The results reveal that areas
with the highest susceptibility are concentrated on the slopes of major peaks and regions with
intense recreational activity associated with winter sports. This work provides a novel contribution
to avalanche knowledge in Sierra Nevada and constitutes a key tool for land management and natu -
ral hazard risk reduction |
