On Snow Experience
Sierra Nevada provides everything you could want from a long weekend ski trip, with a splash of Mediterranean magic and hopefully some of the sunshine the nearby Costa del Sol is famed for! Using Malaga airport as our arrival hub gave us numerous options from regional UK airports and the 2 hour group transfer completed the easy trip to Pradollano at 2100m. The trip’s Spanish flavour was a very welcome change from the more usual alpine atmosphere with the chance to try some tapas and local wine or beer a real treat after a day’s skiing.

It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday. We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain.
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Passport – Check your passport is in date and valid for travel by checking the entry requirements for your destination country – you can see these here: Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
For most European destinations your passport should:
- have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
- have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave the Schengen area
Check your passport meets these requirements before you travel.
NB: Beginning in October 2025, how you pass through EU border controls will change. Find out more information about EES and ETIAS here.
When venturing off piste, it is compulsory to wear an avalanche transceiver. These can be provided by the Ski Club and should be worn by every person on every all mountain, off piste and touring holiday. Anyone joining these holidays will also be required to bring their own backpack, shovel and probe.

It may be initially unusual to fly into southern Spain for your ski holiday, but after landing in Malaga, the snow capped peaks are pretty clear.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the quantity, quality and variation provided by the 110km of mainly blue and red pistes of Sierra Nevada which were more than ample for a few days cruising in the sunshine. The more challenging red runs of the Laguna sector, spotting the coast of North Africa from the top of Veleta and 15cm of fresh snow mid stay were real highlights. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the town which can be lively with locals and fun at weekends, but don’t impact a good night’s sleep!

Pros and cons
- Fantastic views across to the Mediterranean
- Over 100km of well prepared and snowsure pistes, despite the southerly location
- Unique ability to tie in a visit to Granada and the Andalucían beaches to your ski holiday
- All above the treeline so can suffer in bad weather
- Away from the terrain parks little for experts
- Weekend queues can form for the key lifts
