Sierra Nevada ski resort

Sierra Nevada Ski Resort

Sierra Nevada is a unique place where a fabulous winter atmosphere meets the vibrant southern flavour of Spain. Located in the Andalusian Mountains, this resort offers its guests an unforgettable skiing experience amidst picturesque landscapes that contrast with evergreen olive groves and orange orchards. When we moved to Spain we never thought we would miss the snow and how happy we would be to see it, and surrounded by such beauty! It really is very beautiful here!  

Unforgettable ski season in the Sierra Nevada

The Sierra Nevada resort offers more than 100 kilometres of first-class ski slopes. There are slopes of different levels of difficulty: from green ones for beginners to black ones for extreme skiers, of which there are many. Thanks to favourable climatic conditions, the ski season theoretically lasts from November to May, allowing thousands of winter sports enthusiasts to enjoy the magnificent snow cover. And even if there is no snow or it has melted, artificial snow is always scattered, so as not to lose visitors. But still, the best time for skiing is December, January and February.

Benefits of the Sierra Nevada Resort

One of the main advantages of the Sierra Nevada resort is its proximity to the cities. It is only 30 kilometres from the picturesque city of Granada and less than two hours from the sunny Mediterranean coast. This makes it possible to combine a skiing holiday with a cultural programme or a beach holiday.

The Sierra Nevada also boasts one of the highest skiing points in Europe, Mulasen Peak, which is 3,478 metres above sea level. Thanks to this, the snow conditions here are almost always excellent and the panoramic views are stunning.

Variety of entertainment and comfortable accommodation

In the Sierra Nevada resort, we tourists can enjoy not only skiing but also other outdoor activities. For those who love extreme sports, there are snow parks where you can hone your snowboarding tricks. If you prefer a more relaxed leisure time, there are various hiking trails and snowshoeing.

After a busy day on the slopes, holidaymakers can relax in the resort's many restaurants and bars, which offer both local Andalusian and international cuisine. The resort also has many spa centres where you can indulge in body treatments.

Useful tips for tourists

If you're planning to visit the Sierra Nevada, it's worth booking accommodation in advance, especially in high season. Look out for hotels and apartments located at the foot of the slopes to maximise your skiing time.

Don't forget to check the weather forecast and conditions on the slopes. The resort offers the possibility of renting equipment on site, which is convenient for those who do not want to bring their own equipment.

Thus, the Sierra Nevada ski resort is a unique opportunity for all winter sports enthusiasts to combine active holidays with discovering the wonderful culture and traditions of Spain. It is a place where you can not only see snow, a somewhat unexpected phenomenon for southern latitudes, but also spend an unforgettable time surrounded by magnificent mountains and sincere Spanish hospitality.
