En la provincia de Granada funciona, desde los años sesenta,<br />

una de las estaciones de esquí y deportes de nieve más<br />

singulares del panorama europeo. Unas instalaciones que<br />

inauguran su temporada invernal a finales de noviembre y que<br />

permanecen activas hasta la primavera aproximadamente. Su<br />

esplendor blanco se mantiene gracias a sus tres mil metros de<br />

altitud y a su capacidad de generar nieve artificial también.<br />

Entre sus características destacan: facilidades de alojamiento y<br />

aparcamiento; paquetes individuales, para familias o grupos de<br />

amigos; multitud de modalidades de ocio en la nieve (incluidas<br />

para los que no saben manejarse con los esquís); profesorado<br />

experto; alquiler de equipos; competiciones internacionales… y<br />

un entorno, la ciudad de Granada y sus pueblos aledaños,<br />

merecedores de tiempo propio de visita.<br />

Además, al contrario de lo que se pudiera pensar, Sierra Nevada<br />

no cuelga el cartel de cerrado en verano; para entonces la<br />

estación se reinventa utilizando sus apabullantes características<br />

de montaña para generar propuestas de naturaleza, de ciclismo<br />

y carrera, campamentos infantiles, conciertos… y hasta visitas al<br />

observatorio del Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía.<br />

One of the most unique ski and snow sports stations in the<br />

European panorama has been operating in the province of<br />

Granada since the sixties. Its facilities open for the winter<br />

season at the end of November and stay open<br />

approximately until spring. Its white splendour is maintained<br />

thanks to its altitude of three thousand metres and also its<br />

ability to generate artificial snow. The following features are<br />

especially worthy of mention: accommodation and parking<br />

facilities; individual, family and group packages; multiple<br />

forms of fun in the snow (including for those who don't know<br />

how to ski); expert teachers; equipment hire; international<br />

competitions...and surroundings, the city of Granada and<br />

nearby villages, well worth a visit.<br />

Additionally, contrary to what one might think, the Sierra<br />

Nevada doesn't just hang up a closed sign during the<br />

summer; during the summer season the resort reinvents<br />

itself taking advantage of its overwhelming mountainous<br />

features to offer nature activities, cycling and racing, summer<br />

camps, concerts...and even visits to the observatory of the<br />

Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia.<br />
