What's it like at Sierra Nevada resort?
There are few places in the world where you can ski in the morning then head to the coast for a swim in the afternoon, but the proximity of Sierra Nevada to the Med allows this. Don't be fooled into thinking that the skiing will be second rate either. 21 lifts serve 110 km of piste at the Sierra Nevada but it can get busy at the weekends with bottlenecks at the lifts. The pistes lend themselves to the intermediate but there is ample off-piste skiing for the advanced riders. Off the pistes, there are some good restaurants and lively bars. If you get bored or the snow is not as good in the Sierra Nevada, just head for a beach! A halfpipe was added to the snowpark Sulayr in 2011 (165m long and 6m high). It is the biggest in Spain. The snow junior world championship was celebrated in this park. It is the longest Slopestyle line in Europe with over 77 different obstacles and up 46 possible in any one run!
The Snowboard & Freestyle World Championships 2017 were held here.

Visitor Reviews of Sierra Nevada
Rossana from Spain writes:
Pésima experiencia 30 diciembre un trayecto de 21 minutos se convirtió en una pesadilla de 5 horas y media para que al llegar a la estación nos hicieran dar la vuelta por no tener aparcamiento de pago aun teniendo forfait y material de ski, ninguna señalización en la carretera para informar que si no había aparcamiento mejor te dieras la vuelta, gente peleándose por conseguir aparcar en sitios donde no estaba permitido seguramente con su respectiva multa, al volver nos encontramos con un par de guardiaciviles y le hemos comentado el tema de la pésima organización, nos dicen que esto es cosa de la estación, ya que en su página no advierten de que no compres el Forfait ni alquilas el material si no tienes aparcamiento, ya que al llegar a la estación, no vas a poder acceder al pueblo a menos que tengas alquiler de habitación en alguno de los hoteles, a pie de pista para hacer una de las mejores estaciones de esquí de España, la organización del servicio y la desinformación dejen mucho desinformación, brillan por su ausencia, podrás tener la mejor nieve, pero si no puedes acceder a ella, no vale la pena ni siquiera acercarse
