Enjoying a break next to the slopes
The skiing resort in Sierra Nevada is one of the most popular and visited by many Spanish and foreign skiers who discover the pleasure of skiing in bright sunshine and blue sky. Last year, almost one million visitors enjoyed great facilities, its long hours of sunshine and its famous nightlife.
Because of this, during the season we have a very high percentage of sunny days allowing skiing in excellent conditions. Sierra Nevada has skiing slopes for all types of skiers; in addition there are various schools for learning this sport and plenty of activities for children and “non-skiers”.
Just 33 km from the resort is located the fascinating city of Granada with its ancient alleys, plazas, monuments and the famous Moorish Red Fort, the Alhambra, a declared World heritage site.
On clear days you can see the Mediterranean from the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and in fact are the warm waters of the Mediterranean and the Costa Tropical just an hour’s drive away from Granada.
If you’re on vacation in Malaga and you want to see and experience something radically different in the highest mountains of the peninsula, visit Sierra Nevada and Granada. See our special offers for Sierra Nevada.
Although a piece of advice: You should dress warmly; in Granada the weather is very cold compared to the moderate climate of the Costa del Sol.
