Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It's not a pretty place, but the experience of skiing on red snow (sand blown across from the sahara), the views of North Africa and the worst case of sunburn I have ever experienced mean I would go again for a couple of days if I were in the area....

barry, you can get a good piste map at www.sierranevadaski.com the official website. Click on the snowy picture on the right hand side to find the winter area! Windy road up from near Granada to parking area, then gondola up to main skiing area. Webcams are working right now again from the website - go to the winter bit then click on 'en pista' and you get the webcam option. The Pradollano one if I remember is the section from Pradollana village up to the main ski area at Borreguiles. My first day on real outdoor snow was a glorious April day 2006. Very Happy Tried New Year 2007 - not enough snow and very limited passes avail so didn't go- and Easter hols 2007 - too windy to be sure much would be open. My mother was living in Nerja on the coast so not worth setting off without knowing passes were avail/suitable lifts would be open. But hoping to go agian next winter/spring

It is good for a weekend.

High novelty value.

Modest ski area. Few tough pistes.

Holds the snow well. Often windy.

I spent 4 days there in the last week in January. The first day only the runs with snowmaking were open which wasn't great but OK. On the second day it snowed and was much better. It was very cold -20C at the top. Now queues at all but I was only there mid week. It's gets busy at the weekends.
I stayed in Granada which was a 30 minute drive away The village has quite the largest underground car park I've ever seen (remember where you've parked!).
Most facilities are at the village which was ski able to even on my first day.
There is a mid station with a few restaurants and shops if you don't want to ski back to the bottom for lunch.
I would go back as I did manage a couple of days on the beach that holiday as well Very Happy

It's not huge but if everything is open it should keep you entertained for week as long as you are not the I've skied that run once so its done type rolling eyes


looking down to the mid station
