What visitors say about the resort

Sierra Nevada is praised for its distinctive setting: Europe's southernmost ski resort, where you can see the Mediterranean Sea on a clear day and reach the Costa del Sol beaches in under two hours. Visitors highlight its altitude, with the top at around 3,300 m, and its long season, with skiing continuing until the end of April.

The main criticism is the wind: the exposed terrain often means that the upper lifts are closed. Snow is another concern: the southern sun makes the pistes wet by lunchtime, while they freeze again towards evening. Visitors also complain about the development in Pradollano and queues on Spanish weekends.
