7 Days ‘SKI’ ITINERARY

About the resort:

The Sierra Nevada ski resort is located at Pradollano in the Sierra Nevada mountains. This is the most southerly ski resort in Europe and it is quite small in comparison to other European resorts. However, the facilities are considered top rate and it has, therefore, hosted numerous national and international ski events.

The Sierra Nevada ski resort has numerous runs of varying difficulties to satisfy all levels of skiers. The resort is particularly apt for complete beginners and intermediates. The runs are admired by all for both their width and length giving ample space for all to manoeuvre. Natural snow is supplemented by snow cannons on some runs, and many skiers are pleasantly surprised to find that, because of its southerly position, the air temperature is usually warmer than other resorts.

Sierra Nevada literally means "Snowy Mountain Range" and includes some of the highest peaks in Europe not to mention the highest concentration of peaks over 3,000m in the country. The ski terrain is majestically overlooked by the glacier formed jagged Veleta Peak at 3,398m, Spain's third highest after Aneto (3,404m) in the Pyrenees. This stunning area offers spectacular views over the vale of Granada and hosts a superb array of long, wide blue runs providing ample entertainment among its rolling hillocks and soft ridges.

Latest News: 2nd November 2008 Heavy snowfall hits Sierra Nevada making an ever whiter mountain. More snow is forecast for the next 2-3 days.

Itinerary: The itinerary is flexible in terms of how manys you want to spend skiing versus exploring the rest of Andalusia.
