The Sierra Nevada resort offers a great location and ski conditions and, although it may not be the most picturesque by alpine standards, it has got everything you need. Access and parking for coach or car is easy. In the main square you will find all the the hire shops, accommodation, restaurants, bars, lift pass office and the two main gondola lifts serving the skiing areas. With its high elevation, the skiing season can last from late November until early May. Particularly towards the end of the season it experiences sunny days of skiing, although wind can be a problem due to Veleta's prominence and few trees.
Piste and off piste: This is a friendly, well equipped resort offering something for everyone including cross-country and downhill skiing, as well as snowboarding, sled-riding, and snowshoe-hiking. You can expect some varied skiing for all abilities over nearly 100 km of piste in two large open sunny bowls. This is a great resort for beginners or intermediate skiers but there are also some challenging red and black runs as well as a number of off piste tracks for the more experienced.
The new Sulayr Freestyle Snowpark, now relocated from the Borreguiles area to the Loma de Dilar area, is for more experienced snowboarders and freestylers. Attracting some of the big names of the international snowboarding scene, the Sulayr Snowpark offers a great variety of freestyle obstacles including the largest half-pipe in Spain, ramps, jumps and more. Freestylers can also enjoy music, free Wifi and the bar.
