Sierra Nevada School Ski Trips
Some of the Highest Snow Peaks in Europe

Sierra Nevada literally means “Snowy Mountain Range” and it includes some of the highest peaks in Europe, not to mention the highest concentration of peaks over 3,000m in the country – our ski lifts go to 3300m and offer 1200m of vertical drop.

Founded in 1964 the resort has a great snow resort – being one of Europe’s highest. With a ski season that runs from mid-November through to Early May.

As part of its ski heritage, the resort is still the only resort in Europe to have held World Cup Downhill skiing and  Freestyle ski / Snowboarding.

Officially the sunniest resort in Europe you can expect to see down to the city Granada and the Mediterranean Sea beyond…sometimes even as far as the Moroccan coast.
