Located in the mountainous region of south-eastern Spain, Sierra Nevada is renowned as Europe’s southernmost ski station. The powdery slopes and groomed trails of this ski resort town attract visitors of all ages to its picturesque environs.
Sierra Nevada has hosted several skiing and snowboarding championships in the past and continues to welcome novice and seasoned enthusiasts every year. Its elevated location – along one of the highest peaks in Spain – makes it conducive to engaging in winter sports. You can experience skiing on its alpine slopes, take in magnificent views above the treeline or savour panoramic vistas from cable cars and chairlifts. Cross-country skiing and mountain skiing are also quite popular in the area. There are plenty of family-friendly ski areas too, in the form of Sea Track, Forest Track and Kidspark. Come summer and you can even go mountain climbing, hiking and cycling here.
Reaching Sierra Nevada from anywhere in Spain is quite easy. The town is accessible through a variety of transport options, including car, bus, train, taxi and plane. You can drive down the A-395 from the centre of Granada to reach Sierra Nevada within an hour. The nearest railway station is Granada Station and the closest airport is Granada Airport. You can even travel by bus, which connects Granada’s main bus station to the resort. Taxis and buses are available too, for transportation from Pradollano – located at the foot of the mountain – to the resort.

Its good resort to visit if you are living in the south of Spain as its just a drive away however its not recommended to fly into it from overseas as its pricy most apartment based accommodation are run down and also pricy and resort facilities in terms of getting passes etc is badly organized and not foreign speaking friendly at all! There is also not much to do there for small kids as they restricting accesses with sledges etc to majority of the areas and only allocating small 'Play park' zone for families
Scenery good.

When we visted during Christmas week, it had not snowed yet other than ONE time this season... so we didn´t have many slopes open. But, the 10 or 15 that were open, were enough -- mostly green, blue and a red or two. I think there are some 50, most of them were closed because there wasn´t enough snow. Christmas week was perfect as far as crowds go. We left the 28th, and the New Year people were arriving. If we go again, I would NEVER, EVER go New Years weekend. It was MOBBED! WAY too many people. Felt like I was part of a seal colony - could not ski without hitting someone, lines were too crowded --- just packed. Eating out in Sierra Nevada is just too expensive for the quality. We at out a few times, but ended up cooking in most of the time. (family of 5 adults)
Quite well facilitated for all levels of skiers.

Quite well facilitated for all levels of skiers. Friendly, convenient, our ski school was just great. Granada trips only 45 minutes away. Good roads to get to. Different types of cafes right by the slopes.

I love Sierra Navada, there is so much to do there apart from just skiing, the restaurant's, there are so many good ones to choose from. So many beautiful places to stay. So many ski hire shops, everything you need in one small village and the views are to die for.
