Hotels in Sierra Nevada Ski Resort

The Sierra Nevada mountain range is just 32 km from Granada city, and it takes about 50 minutes to drive from the city to the ski resort. The ski season is from late November to late April, as the resort uses machines to supplement the natural snowfall with artificially-made snow. It’s the highest-altitude and most southerly ski resort in the whole of Spain and has more than 75 pistes over 2,500 metres. The highest summit in the Sierra Nevada is Mulhacén, at 3,482 metres.

As Andalucia has a high percentage of sunshine hours, you can get a tan while you ski, or even soak up the sun on a restaurant or hotel terrace. The whole of the Sierra Nevada National Park is an area of outstanding beauty, of which parts have also been declared a biosphere reserve. Within the mountain range, the Sierra Nevada villages cling to the slopes, with whitewashed walls and narrow streets.

When staying in the area for skiing or hiking, there is an excellent choice of Sierra Nevada Hotels. Accommodation comes in all types, from five-star to one-star, aparthotels to spa hotels and long or short-term ski apartment rentals in the resort or in Sierra Nevada villages. There are also luxurious ski-in, ski-out spa hotels within the ski village itself, as well as family-friendly hotels which are not too close to the buzzing bars. In addition, you have the budget option of hostels in the Sierra Nevada resort.

In the Sierra Nevada ski resort: Borreguiles (2650m) is the principal ski station at the upper cable car station. It has ski schools, equipment hire, restaurants and the main chair lifts. Pradollano (2.000m) is the ski village, with hotels, restaurants, shops and holiday apartments, which is divided into three areas Alta, Media and Baja. Check where your accommodation is located before you arrive, so you can follow the appropriate signs. Parking is at a premium, with the large multi-storey car parks in the main Baja area; check availability when you rent your apartment. There is some metered parking in Alta area - look out for the red road  markings.  As for après-ski, from small intimate tapas bars to larger, international restaurants, the Sierra Nevada caters for all budgets and culinary tastes.

At the higher end of the accommodation offering, El Lodge is a stylish spa hotel with a hip terrace restaurant-bar-cafe located in the higher part of Pradollano, at 2,300m. It is managed by the same team as Marbella Club and Puente Romano, in Marbella.   Its sister hotel, Maribel, located opposite and re-opened in December 2022, has an intimate chalet feel. This smaller hotel is on-trend in terms of interior design and styling, and is for adults only.

Both are ski-in, ski-out hotels being next to the 'Aguila' ski run. They also have on-site ski hire, their own ski school and even an official ski-pass dispenser on site. In addition, El Lodge has a superb heated outdoor pool, and a popular lunch and après-ski terrace overlooking the slopes with views to the peaks of La Valeta. The terrace is buzzing at weekends when a DJ spins tunes. A terrace literally fit for a King (HRH Felipe 21-01-2023). Maribel has a small indoor pool and an outdoor hot tub, and an equally impressive restaurant and terrace.
