Your Perfect Ski Holiday to Spain
Although Spain is normally thought of as a summer paradise, known for long, beautiful beaches and azure sea, as the second most mountainous country in Europe, Spain also offers an excellent winter season of skiing. Benefiting from long hours of sunshine in the winter months, the Spanish ski resorts offer spectacular mountain views and the perfect balance of snow and sunshine.
Sierra Nevada, one of Spain’s largest ski resorts, sits in Andalucía’s Sierra Nevada mountain range. As the southernmost ski resort in Europe, Sierra Nevada combines reliable snow conditions with exceptional sunshine, creating a ski experience unlike anywhere else in Europe. Reaching elevations of up to 3,282m, skiing in Spain rivals many better-known European destinations, with its high altitude providing snow-sure resorts, an abundance of sunshine and unique experiences for those looking to try something other than the usual European ski resorts.
Further north, Baqueira Beret lies in the Pyrenees on the French border and is Spain’s largest resort with extensive intermediate terrain and consistent snow cover thanks to its higher, more northerly location.
Many of the Spanish ski resorts are gentle and cruisy, and with their uncrowded nature and expertly maintained runs, they are the perfect choice for many beginners and intermediates looking to carve up some new terrain. These Spain ski holidays are also particularly suited to families thanks to their quiet slopes and confidence-building pistes.

Baqueira
- Best Suited To: mixed-ability groups after vast ski terrain and luxury – a high-end destination frequented by the Spanish Royal Family

About Our Spanish Ski Holidays
Skiing in Spain
The great thing about skiing in Spain is that Spanish ski resorts are hugely popular with local skiers but far less known internationally, meaning lighter lift queues and piste crowds.
- The skiing is split between the Granada area, Sierra Nevada, Spain’s highest resort (3,282m), and the Spanish Pyrenees, Baqueira, Spain’s largest ski resort (160km of slopes)
- Much of the terrain sits above the tree line on large, wide-open pistes with magnificent views
- Easily accessible off-piste is also on offer in many resorts.
Activities in Spain
Spanish ski resorts have a great variety of activities to experience. Whether you’re after high-energy activities such as snow tubing, tobogganing, or ice skating, Spain has it all.
- The Mirlo Blanco in Sierra Nevada is a particular highlight. Several activities for all the family are offered here, including ski-bike, chair-bike, mini-ski, mini-snowboard, and roller-sled
- In Baqueira, you can enjoy good-value heli-skiing alongside many non-skier activities such as snowshoeing, dog-sled rides or snowmobiling.
Top Tip: Fly into Malaga rather than Granada, as Granada flights are limited despite being the closer airport
Après Ski in Spain
In Spanish ski resorts, enjoy sunny patio drinks and numerous cosy bars to relax in until things start to kick off around 11pm.
- In Sierra Nevada, delight in a sun-terrace lunch at Badia in Pradollano before winding down over a glass of Rioja and tapas at La Bodeguita
- In Baqueira, head to Baqueira Bar 1500 at the base of the slopes for a live DJ and drinks or visit Vinoteca Eth Cerer in Unha for local wine and home cooking.
Top Tip: Ski in Sierra Nevada then head into Granada for a flamenco show with a glass of sangria or two!
Food in Spain
Spanish cuisine is one of the most prominent in Europe for its wide variety of flavours and delicious produce, and its moreish tapas dishes satisfy every taste.
- Find tapas culture on the mountain at Baqueira’s Refugi San Miguel and Restaurant Pla de Beret, or Sierra Nevada’s La Visera and Los Jamones for cured ham and seafood
- The nocturnal Spanish timetable carries onto the slopes with lunch running until 3pm and dinner from 9 or 10pm so meals should be taken seriously
- Seek out local specialities: Andalusian jamón and seafood dishes in Sierra Nevada or Catalan and Aranese stews and grilled meats in Baqueira.
Snow in Spain
Despite Spain being perceived as a summer holiday destination, its high altitude makes the resorts among the most snow-sure in Europe and the winter ski season often goes late into April. State-of-the-art snowmaking systems in many of the resorts mean that even in the low snow seasons the snow is always top-notch.
