SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING IN THE SIERRA NEVADA
SIERRA NEVADA
Initially, Spain may not conjure up an image of impressive snow covered mountain peaks catering for one of the world's most exclusive winter sports.
However, as Europe’s second most mountainous country (after Switzerland), it is perhaps less surprising that Spain is host to numerous ski resorts dotted throughout the country.
Enjoy the sun and the snow in Andalucia's best kept secret: the modern ski resort of Sierra Nevada. With 100 kms of slopes for all levels Sierra Nevada enjoys one of the longest ski seasons in Europe.
Sierra Nevada is only 1 1/2 hour drive away from Iznájar. There are plenty of ski & snowboard hire shops available in the ski village of Pradollano with no pre-booking required: just bring your thermals and ski coats and away you go.
During the summer months the slopes are open for horse riding and mountain biking with bike hire shops available.
SKI CONDITIONS
Sierra Nevada defies many concepts associated with skiing. Located barely a stone's throw from the Mediterranean coast, it has practically guaranteed sunshine, the best Spring snow conditions in Europe, and is still reasonably priced compared to many of its European counterparts.
SKI RENTAL
Sierra Nevada has a wide range of places to rent equipment for skiing or snowboarding, the most modern and complete ranges, to pick it up at the slopes and forget the hassle of transporting it from home.
