The long-awaited snowfall in Algeria has transformed the Chrea Mountains in Blida into a winter paradise, bringing joy to visitors and a boost to local businesses.
Families and tourists from across Algeria flocked to the snow-covered peaks to enjoy sledding, cable car rides, and other winter activities. Vendors renting sledges and selling warm drinks and snacks were pleased with the surge in customers, as the snow revived their seasonal businesses.
“Without snow, we don’t work, and the snow came late this year,” said Sofiane Aloui, a stall owner renting sledges. “But even if it came late, we are working with families and people who come to rent sledges. We welcome everyone to visit Chrea; the nature and weather are beautiful.”
For many business owners, including tea and nuts sellers like Othmane Bouhaja and Fateh Yehyaoui, snow is more than just a seasonal delight—it’s a source of livelihood. “When it snows, it means we’ll have a cold summer with water, and the second benefit is that people come to the mountains, so we can work,” Bouhaja explained.
Visitors, too, expressed their excitement. Nabil Anouar, who traveled with his children, shared, “This is the first snow. My children were very excited about it. We chose a weekday to avoid crowds, and for now, everything is great. The kids are having fun, and that’s what matters most.”
As one of Algeria’s top winter destinations, the Chrea Mountains continue to draw large numbers of visitors every year, thanks to their stunning scenery and diverse activities. While the snow arrived later than expected this season, it has once again proven to be a vital element of both the region’s charm and economy.
