As the southernmost ski resort in Europe and the highest mountain range in mainland Spain, Sierra Nevada offers over 110 kilometers of groomed skiable terrain across 131 pistes, basking in over 80% sunny days per season. Planning your ski trip to Pradollano requires understanding the ski pass (forfait) pricing structure, seasonal date calendars, and online booking discounts.
In this official 2025/2026 ski season guide, we detail daily rates for adults, children, and seniors, beginner passes, seasonal date bands, and insider tips to save up to 10-20% on your lift tickets.
1. Official Ski Pass Rates (Temporada 2025 / 2026)
Sierra Nevada (managed by Cetursa Sierra Nevada) structures its ski passes across three main seasons: Promotion / Low Season (early December and late April), Medium Season (midweek during January and March), and High Season (Christmas, New Year, Epiphany, all weekends, and February):

2. How to Save Money on Your Ski Pass
- Purchase Online with the Sierra Nevada Club Card: Buying online in advance through Cetursa’s official website gives you discounts between 5% and 15% compared to purchasing at the Pradollano ticket window on the day.
- Rechargeable RFID Card: Order your Sierra Nevada Club card to your home before traveling. You can recharge days from your smartphone and bypass all ticket queues, heading directly to the Al-Ándalus or Borreguiles gondolas.
- Consecutive Day Discounts: Booking 3 or more consecutive days progressively lowers the average daily rate.
3. Night Skiing Passes
On select Thursday and Saturday evenings (weather permitting), Sierra Nevada illuminates the classic El Río piste (3.2 km, descending from Borreguiles down to Pradollano) with high-intensity halogen floodlights. Night skiing passes are sold separately for approximately 24.00 € to 27.00 € (19:00 h to 22:00 h).
