 The Sierra Nevada lies only an hour and a half drive away , providing over 69 kilometres of fabulous piste skiing. The dream of skiing in the morning and sunbathing in the afternoon has now become a reality.
The ski resort of Sol y Nieve is located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is the most southerly ski resort in Europe and even hosted the 1996 world ski championships. The Sierra Nevada ski resort has numerous runs of varying difficulties to satisfy all skiing desires. Being so far south, many skiers are pleasantly surprised to find the air temperature is usually warmer than other resorts. The skiing season is December to April.
There is a surprisingly active nightlife in the Sierra Nevada resort. Spaniards have a reputation for being 'night owls' and this can be witnessed even in a skiing resort. Being only a 45 minutes drive from Granada city, visitors should also consider visiting the cultural attractions, such as The Alhambra, the well-known Moorish-Catholic settlement
