Great to snowboard down from 3400m ,no trees so no shadows, well maintained and safety conscious resort with helpful friendly staff. Look before you book ,can be shut down due to high wind and low cloud .

Sierra Nevada is really nice. The ski area is great, if they have good snow. People are friendly, the shops give good service. There is hiking nearby and Granada is just an hour away if the weather is bad or if the snow is too thin.

Our first visit to Sierra Nevada but certainly won't be our last. Took us a comfortable 2hr drive from the coast of Almeria to the resort. The journey up the mountain was slow at times as there had been snow and the ploughs were keeping the road surfaces clear. We were lucky as if there had been heavy snowfall, we didn't have snow socks/chains for the car and I believe the Guardia Civil will turn you back if the roads are bad and you aren't equipped with these (phew!) Our hotel had underground parking, which was a godsend as the cars that were parked on the verges (parking meter areas) were totally snowed in. People were trying their best to dig their cars out, so underground parking is highly recommended and cost us a mere €15. Our hotel was within a minutes walk to the ski lift which took you directly down the top of the resort where our hotel was, to the main square. Around our hotel were many bars/restaurants and a mini supermarket too. In the main square there are loads of bars/restaurants and places to hire equipment. The scenery is breathtaking and the slopes are well maintained. It's the first time I've skied and found the resort perfect for beginners and experts alike. Very friendly resort. Weekends are very busy, so if you can go during the week I would highly recommend this. The footpaths and steps leading up/down the resort are well maintained and generally free of snow. The ski lifts usually close around 17.00-18.00hrs si if you're down at the square, be prepared for the walk back up to the top of the resort (if that's where your hotel is situated). Due to the altitude, you do get breathless very easily so take it steady!

the lift pass area was not busy but you still had to queue and wait. No signs and not very helpful. Very good mexican and burger bar just up from the slopes. Only bar we found with happy hour and good music.

You could have a great time skiing if you only go for a few days as opposed to a whole week. Definitely avoid the weekend and do not be too fussy if you choose the Kenia Nevada 4-star hotel. Sierra Nevada, Spain is a place that it's on your list to visit, but after that, you have the never want to go again feeling. Don't get me wrong, is not that bad, but I had much better experiences.

Great skiing in the sun, particularly good for intermediates, loads of runs. Village right at the bottom of the slopes with lots of restaurants. This maybe explains the lack of dinning options up the slopes which is a shame. Overall a well planned resort, very few queues, a great destination for hassle free skiing.
