Skiing is not the most thought of reason for going to Andalucia. Beach, culture, food yes but the ski slopes of Sierra Nevada in Granada province aren´t so well known. The ski slopes are now open for the 2021/2021 season and with more than thirty peaks the mountains of Sierra Nevada some at over 3,000 metres above sea level can be seen from far and wide.
The snowy peaks can be seen from the beaches of Granada coast, one of the very few places where you can sunbathe in the morning and ski in the afternoon. The ski resort is home to some of the best skiing in Spain.
The ski slopes have been open since the beginning of December and everything is in place to for a great 2021/2022 season. There are 77 new cannons to produce more snow, four new machines to care for the ski runs and a full-service catering for skiers with ski passes, accommodation, restaurants and specialised shops. There´s also an option of night skiing to guarantee a great time and a memorable visit to Sierra Nevada.
