Context
Sierra Nevada, located in Andalusia, is home to Spain’s highest ski resort, featuring dedicated Nordic skiing circuits that range from 2,100 to 2,300 meters above sea level. Natural snow combined with snowmaking from artificial cannons ensures a well-groomed, packed surface perfect for gliding. The dry, cold mountain air enhances the sensory experience, offering a unique atmosphere for winter sports.
The Experience
You’ll take part in a private lesson guided by a certified instructor who adapts the session to your personal level and pace. Whether you're learning foundational techniques or refining advanced skills, you’ll practice on the Virgen de las Nieves trail—5 km long with easy to moderate difficulty. The quiet, rhythmic sound of skis gliding over packed snow accompanies every movement, while panoramic views of snow-capped peaks and alpine valleys frame the route.
For Whom
This activity suits adults and children from age 3 with moderate physical fitness. It’s ideal for complete beginners looking to start and intermediate skiers aiming to improve technique and endurance. Not recommended for individuals with respiratory issues or low tolerance to high altitude.
