Sierra Nevada is located 3.000 meters above sea level

Sierra Nevada ski area
If you belong to the more daring or experienced skiing category of skiers, we recommend the slopes of La Laguna and El Veleta. From here, on the open days, there is a fantastic view of the sea and the coast on both sides of the Mediterranean. An unparalleled view compared to any ski resort, which certainly is worth experiencing. You will be pleasantly surprised by the magnificent nature. It is very different from the Alps. The ski resort is located in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, which is listed on the UNESCO list of biosphere reserves and national hunting reserves.
