Introductie
Sun, Snow and Skis: Winter Sports in the Sierra Nevada
A skiing holiday in Spain? Absolutely. Anyone who thinks you have to choose between beaches and mountains clearly hasn’t heard of the Sierra Nevada. This sun-drenched ski resort lies just a two-hour drive from the Costa del Sol and combines winter fun with a Mediterranean vibe.
Skiing at 2,100 Metres Altitude
The Sierra Nevada is located in Andalusia and is the southernmost ski resort in Europe. With a base elevation of 2,100 metres and peaks rising above 3,400 metres, you're literally and figuratively on top of the world. You’ll ski with views of rugged mountain landscapes and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. The 120 kilometres of slopes are both varied and easy to navigate—perfect for families, beginners and seasoned skiers looking for diversity.
More Than Just Skiing
Not a fan of skis? No worries. The Sierra Nevada also offers snow fun without the downhill rush. Think cross-country skiing, sledding or a peaceful winter walk among snow-covered peaks. In the village of Pradollano, you’ll find cosy cafés, shops and everything you need to enjoy the winter sports vibe—minus the bone-chilling cold of the Alps.
From Beach Chair to Ski Poles
What makes this region truly special? You can enjoy breakfast on your seaside terrace at Casa VIVAndalusia in the morning, and be carving turns in the snow by the afternoon. Thanks to the mild climate and excellent accessibility, a day trip to the slopes is perfectly doable. Afterwards, simply drive back to your coastal retreat and end the day with tapas and a glass of wine on the balcony.
Casa VIVAndalusia as Your Home Base
Casa VIVAndalusia is strategically located between the coast and the mountains, giving you the luxury of combining the best of both worlds. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both—it’s all within reach. And that’s exactly why a ski holiday in Spain works surprisingly well.
