Hi there, in the processing of having a place built in Vera playa and want to visit in March. We are very keen on skiing and snowboarding and wonder if it might be possible to drive up to the Sierra Nevadaa for the day or overnight to have a play in the snow. however we have no idea which resort to head for, how long it will take, whether we can drive or not Looking at 3/4/5 March.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received
Thanks
Sue

The only place we went skiing in the Sierra Nevada was at a resort called Pradallano. Absolutely brilliant but it was while we staying on the Costa del Sol and it took about 2 hours to drive there from Fuengirola. Can highly recommend the place for the skiing and the brilliant restaurants/apres ski. Would definitely recommend overnight stay.

Hi Sue & Paul,
Sierra Nevada Ski Resort Can be reached from Vera in around 21/2 hours. You follows signs for Granada. Before you hit the main city you stay on the ring road around Granada taking the exit Sierra Nevada/Monchil and its all sign posted from there. I've copied a route map from Vera below, just copy it all into your web browser and it should open up with a full route map? Its actually worth staying over either in the resort or close by and you can find a place in a double room between 60 and 120 euros. The Ski-ing and Snow boarding there is excellent and there are plenty of restaurants and bars with a Bavarian feel to the resort. I would however always check the weather the night before as it can sometimes be foggy and too windy for the lifts some days! Also it can get very busy at weekends with long queues for lift passes! There are plenty of places to hire equipment and lift passes cost around 20 euros daily for adults and 13 for children.
Have fun, you won't be disappointed..............
