What is the Sea & Sierra Experience?
Where better to enjoy a ski holiday than in the second highest mountain range in Western Europe? At an altitude of 3,483 metres, Sierra Nevada is nestled amongst the foothills of the Spanish mountains in the province of Granada. Declared a National Park in 1999, you will appreciate spectacular views in the region which is renowned for its biodiversity and natural beauty.
The resort’s enviable climate allows for skiing into early May making this a fantastic option for an end-of-season ski trip. It also provides a unique opportunity to combine your ski holiday with a luxurious beach holiday in Marbella which is just a couple of hours drive away.
