Context
Cable ski at the Casillas de Ranera reservoir offers a motor-free water skiing experience in the heart of the Serranía de Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha. This artificial reservoir, surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation, features a clearly marked 1,000 m² zone dedicated to safe water sports. The ideal season runs from June to September, when warm weather invites guests to enjoy the cool, refreshing waters.
The experience
During a half-day session, you’ll be harnessed to a cable that propels you across the reservoir’s surface, gliding with balance and control. The rhythmic hum of the cable and the splash of water accompany your movement, while the breeze carries the scent of native Serranía flora. All equipment—skis, life jacket, and helmet—is provided, and certified instructors guide you throughout, helping you refine your technique whether you’re a beginner or experienced rider.
For whom
This activity suits individuals aged 6 and older with moderate fitness and good balance. It’s ideal for those seeking a physical challenge in a peaceful natural environment, and for water skiing enthusiasts looking for a motorless alternative. Not recommended for people with limited mobility or no prior experience balancing on a board.
