Skiing
High in the Sierra Nevada, less than 35 km from Granada and only just
over two hours drive from the apartment, lies the winter sport's resort
of Solynieve. This is Europe's most southerly ski venue and site of
the 1996 World Ski Championships.The season usually starts in November/December
and lasts until April or May, depending on the snow. Visitors may be
surprised by the benign weather throughout most of the season and the
relatively high air temperatures when compared to the more northern
European resorts.
Lifts and cable cars connect the resort, at 2,100 m, to the second highest
peak in Spain, Veleta, standing at 3,398 m.
Activities, both on and off the slopes, are plentiful. Skating and cross-country
skiing can be practised during the day and when the night falls, the
aprés-ski celebrations keep visitors on their feet until late.
Weekends and bank holidays are especially busy.
