The Sierra Nevada can be translated to mean Snowy Mountain Range; the perfect name for what it offers. It has some of the highest peaks in Europe, so it sees plenty of snow and enjoys a long season, often extending from November to May.

Thanks to the high altitude of the peaks, the majority of the skiing takes place in ski fields, rather than narrow tracks and they are above the tree line. So if you’re feeling nervous, or if you’re a beginner this is a more reassuring option.
