Absolutely stunning area with breath taking views of snow on mountains set against blue sky and sunshine (on most days.). Stayed in ski resort to enjoy the area and take in some skiing. Only a couple of hours from the coast too.

Nice change of scenery from the Costa del Sol where we were staying for 6 weeks. We stayed overnight in Granada to give us time to explore Granada (wonderful city). We caught the bus from there to Pradollano to the ski resort. The bus journey took around an hour and the scenery was fabulous. We are non-skiers who went to enjoy the views. Easy to take the gondola up to the ski station (choice of 2 gondolas) where you can sit on the roof terrace and enjoy a meal and something to drink whilst watching the world ski and snowboard past. Loads of good restaurants and bars to visit in Pradollano before getting the bus back to Granada, and from there for us the train to Malaga and back to our apartment.

We visited Sierra Nevada for a family skiing trip, and while it had its moments, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The resort is undeniably scenic, with stunning mountain views and relaxed vibe. The beginner slopes were great for our kids, and the ski school instructors were friendly and helpful, which made the experience enjoyable for them. However wee found the resort to be quite crowded, even during what we thought would be a quieter time. The lift lines were longer than expected, and some of the slopes felt overcrowded, which took away from the overall experience. The facilities were decent, but the food options were overpriced and underwhelming. While the resort has potential, it felt bit disorganized, and the lack of variety in slopes made it less exciting for more experienced skiers in our group. It’s a decent spot for families with young kids or beginners, but it might not fully satisfy those looking for a more dynamic skiing experience.
