The ski resort of Sol y Nieve is located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Andalucia. It is the most sout herly ski resort in Europe and is small in comparison to other European resorts, even so, the resort hosted the 1996 world ski championships.
The Sierra Nevada ski resort has numerous runs of varying difficulties to satisfy all skiing desires. Natural snow is supplemented by snow cannons on some runs. Being so far south, many skiers are pleasantly surprised to find the air temperature is usually warmer than other resorts.
There is an 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. Most of the visitors come from Madrid and the cities of Andalucia, weekends and banks holidays are particularly busy.
The skiing sea son is December to April.
The Sierra Nevada resort is only 45 minutes drive from Granada city, one hour from Granada airport and 2 hour drive from Málaga airport. Visitors should also consider visiting the attractions in Granada city.
