These days there’s no denying that Sierra Nevada is one of Spain’s top ski resorts and one of Europe’s too in certain respects. Its high altitude above sea level (2,100m to 3,300m) means snow is almost guaranteed during winter time. What attracts people to Sierra Nevada is unquestionably its superb weather, with sunny days over 70% of the time during the ski season, which guarantees an unbeatable setting for skiing, while the high altitude ensures the snow is kept in tip-top condition.
The resort has 84 km of slopes. Of these, 10 are green, 35 are blue, 36 are red and 5 are black.
