Sierra Nevada – the ski season has started in Granada!

The ski season was officially inaugurated in Sierra Nevada on the 28th of November. Unfortunately, there is currently not much snow and only 10 km ski slope is ready for skiing. Therefore during this first week only a daily maximum of 500 skiers will be allowed.  The ski station has over 105 km of slopes available when weather conditions are optimum.

Sierra Nevada is about 2 1/2 hours’ drive from Malaga, and can easily be visited during a day trip.  Head for Granada and then take A-395 towards Sierra Nevada.

The ski resort is ideal for all ages. There is a separate section for children and families with play area and ski school which you can read more about here.

Or perhaps you are into snowboarding? Then you should try the snowboard park Super Park Sulayr which offers different zones according to the difficulty level. Click here for more information.

You also have the opportunity to try the slopes in the evening with artificial lighting.  Every Thursday and Saturday evening from 19.00h to 22.00h 6 km ski slope is lighted up.

Check out here the snow situation and how many km slopes are ready for skiing before you head off.

Have a fun time!
