Sierra Nevada

This is an artificial snow place for skiing in spain. Very cold, so go prepared. You can try skating here and star learning. You can rent skating gear for around 30-40€ for the entire day.There is also tube skating here. You should visit this place if you are in and around in Grenada. Public transport is limited, but still there are direct buses from Grenada to this place for 5€

Had fun hiking here in the mountains with other colleagues. It is a beautiful mountain. There is not very much to do here besides touring and looking at historic places... there are few places to eat, but there doesn't seem to be a real presences of nightlife in these mountains. I would also recommend taking lots of water with you if you decide to visit there between the months of Jun and August... I can't be very hot. Also, wear lots of sunscreen, shades/hats, and light clothing. Store a jacket if you decide to stay for a long period, as it might get a little chilly during the late evenings.

Great ski area with all the terrain of a large alpine resort but none of the crowds. Well catered for all age groups and abilities and offers tremendous value for money. Easy drive from Malaga or Alicante for those popping out for a weekend ski

One of the few places you can snowboard in the morning and surf in the evening. Beautiful views, on a clear day you can sometimes see across the straight to Africa. It is by no means world class skiing/snowboarding, but the novelty of skiing in southern Spain with a view of another continent makes this something worth experiencing. Also, if you live in southern Spain your options for wintersports are limited. I have been to slopes around the world, from Italy to France to Austria to Colorado to Utah to Alaska and more. The trails here are limited and the snow is not great, but I still greatly enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend. If you're looking for world class skiing, look elsewhere. If you're looking to get your snow fix and can appreciate something different, this is definitely worth visiting.

If you are in Granda and enjoy a hike and nature then I encourage you to go. Find some sort of tour and go for it. We used "Granada: 4WD Safari of the Sierra Nevada" and they were totally amazing, catering and knowledgable. Please please go!!!

Very good winter sport place of spain, beautiful views. Worth visiting

The resort is amazing but the booking experience is the most horrendous thing I have done is a while, this are the problems I experienced when trying to buy 4 tickets for me and my family: - You have to choose between phone ticket or card, card costs 10 euros so I try phone. - My phone is not supported (1plus) - I cannot buy tickets to my family without having them download the app, creating 2 separate accounts, one for the app and one for the shop, setting up their phones to work with the app, enabling Bluetooth, disabling battery optimization, etc. And even then the option to buy on the phone might not show up. Additionally to this we need to link the accounts to each other. - When I bought the tickets it was not allowed to buy the parking, showing an X instead WITHOUT any explanation of why; I called and I was told to buy it on the spot but to be early (9 at max because they might run out) - Today my mom called me and it turns out you can buy tickets for the parking (thanks Sierra Nevada...). When I try to buy it tells me that I have to buy a forfait... but I already have one. I called support and they asked me to refund and buy another forfait with the parking. - Now, I go to buy the ticket and it asks me to put a picture on my profile, for whatever reason. I'm tired of this and, to my surprise there is no way to add the photo on the profile, it turns out that there is an transparent button if there is no image where you have to click (see attached image). Now, I work as a software engineer and I'm good with this and I have spent hours trying to get tickets to ski, I absolutely have no idea how a regular person will do it. The system is badly design, please send this feedback to your development team and ask them to design a better experience.

Words cannot define the beauty of the place. You have to be there to experience it

Sierra Nevada is one of the most southerly ski resorts in Europe - the Mediterranean coast is very close (1:30 drive South). You can ski and then enjoy warm sunny weather and sightseeing in Granada. Hotels are busy during the season better book one in advance! Road conditions can be tough, you should buy tire chains in advance. I had to walk to the nearest gas station to buy them after several unsuccessful attempts to drive uphill from the hotel. Enjoy awesome mountain views, the highest point of continental Spain (Mulhacén) is part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Sierra Nevada is a surprisingly superb skiing destination for a 2-3 day skiing trip in Southern Europe. The atmosphere and food is a bit different than the Alps (it's more relaxed and playful rather than posh) and despite how close you are to the beach (2 hours) the snow conditions can be great and the season is long. A few things to remember: - book hotel in advance - buy ski passes the evening before or very early in the morning (anyone over 59 gets a discount and are you 70 or over, your ski pass is for free :) but please note these passes needs to be bought in the ticket booth, not in the ticket / ATM machines) - skis are cheap to rent (and you can rent them at the top of the cabin lift of you don't like to carry) - weekends can get very busy
