Sierra Nevada Ski Resort
Estación de Esquí Sierra Nevada
The southernmost ski resort in Europe, only about 35 km from Granada. Ski in the morning in winter, then return to the city in the afternoon to visit the Alhambra.
The Sierra Nevada ski resort sits between 2,100 and 3,300 metres, with more than 100 km of pistes. The ski season usually runs from December to April. The ski village of Pradollano has chairlifts, equipment rental shops and restaurants. On clear days you can see the Mediterranean from the mountain, and even Africa. In summer, you can hike or climb Mulhacén (3,479 m), the highest peak on the Iberian Peninsula. The Alsa bus from Granada takes about 45 to 60 minutes. In winter, drivers need snow chains. Sierra Nevada National Park is also one of the most biodiverse mountain areas in Europe.
