Ski Areas in Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada ski resort is split into four separate ski areas that are all well-linked and easily accessible. You'll catch one of two gondolas up to the mid-station at Borreguiles where you'll find the nursery slopes. Intermediates and experts should carry on up to 3,300m where the majority of the more challenging and freestyle terrain can be found. You'll be able to find slopes that catch the afternoon sun, of which there is plenty given the resorts southern location - especially towards the end of the season.
Sierra Nevada Ski Accommodation
Skiing in Sierra Nevada
You'll find an excellent array of runs in Sierra Nevada ski resort, ranging from a nursery slope area ideal for beginners to some challenging black runs and exciting off-piste. The green and blue runs are well-groomed, however, the resort is best suited to intermediate skiers who can take advantage of the long reds that Sierra Nevada is famous for. There's early morning skiing 7:30am - 9am on a Sunday, so if you're looking for empty slopes and fresh tracks then you'll want to set your alarm.
