Sierra Nevada Skiing

Plan a ski holiday in the Sierra Nevada from Gibraltar Airport

Ski the slopes of Spain's tallest mountains during your winter vacation in Gibraltar.  The Sierra Nevada mountains reach over 10,000 ft and are accessible by car rental from Gibraltar in around three hours!  You can also reach the Sierra Nevada Mountains from other nearby Andalucian airports such as Malaga Airport and Granada Airport.  

Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada

Head out in your Gibraltar car rental to the Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada to begin your winter holiday fun.  This is a great place for all your favorite winter sports and mountain sports such as paragliding, hiking, rock climbing, canyoning, horseback riding, and even dog sledding!  Of course, the most popular activity for winter visitors to the Sierra Nevada is skiing.  There are multiple tour providers in the area that are ready to set up fun activities and rent equipment for your skiing or other sporting adventure.

Skiing After Dark

Your ski holiday in the Sierra Nevada comes with a world of options for all different experience levels, from beginner slopes and classes for the kids, to "freeride" skiing with a guide along the mountain's virgin snow!  During the winter holiday you can even ski at night!  The beautiful Rio piste stays open late on Saturday nights to provide skiers a few extra hours as well as a stunning view of the floodlit mountain and shimmering snow.  Night skiing in the Sierra Nevada is every Saturday in January and February from 7pm to 9:30pm, weather permitting.

Book a rental car from Gibraltar to enjoy everything the Sierra Nevada mountains have to offer you this winter holiday.  There is an extensive range of intermediate slopes with plenty for advanced skiers spread over 100 km of piste.  Access is easy even in the peak season with 20 ski lifts.  The Sierra Nevada area is also a fun place to stay with a lively nightlife and a good selection of restaurants.
