Sierra Nevada

School ski trip to the Sierra Nevada, Spain

A fabulous addition to our programme, Sierra Nevada is the southernmost of our school ski trip destinations. It is also one of the most attractive - the breathtaking scenery of Spain’s highest peaks provides an inspiring backdrop, with spectacular views over Granada and to the sea. By reputation, it’s Europe’s most sunny ski resort (with 80% sunny days) and also boasts one of the longest seasons, making it an excellent choice for a school ski trip to Spain even at Easter.

Après-Ski

There is an excellent selection of après-ski options in the region including the Mirlo Blanco fun park with Russian sleigh coaster-ride and tubing. There is also bowling, ice-skating and plenty of tapas bars to enjoy.

No trip to the Sierra Nevada is really complete without a visit to the Alhambra, the magnificent Moorish palace and fortress in Granada. Built mainly during the 13th and 14th centuries by the Nasrid dynasty, the last Muslim rulers of Al-Andalus, this UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s most visited landmarks.
