To go from Granada to Sierra Nevada by bus, prepare your way there and back before booking activities. Tocina publishes different schedules during the ski season and outside of it. The ticket must correspond to your date and stop; Don’t assume that a winter outing works all year round.

Departures from Granada and arrival in Sierra Nevada

The Tocina page indicates departure from the Bus Station and mentions platform 3. It publishes the Palacio de Congresos stop only for the ski season. Check the ticket and station for the point and platform of your expedition.

Movelia, a sales channel linked by Tocina, locates the Granada station at Avenida Juan Pablo II, 33, and the arrival at the Sierra Nevada bus parking lot, in Pradollano. A specific floor or a two-minute walk to ticket offices or gondolas is not guaranteed.

If you leave from another area, also prepare the transfer to the stop. Consult our Bus Station guide and leave room to locate the platform and board. For accommodation or an activity in the mountains, ask for its exact address and organize the route from arrival.

Schedules published by Tocina

The table reproduces the operator information consulted on October 4, 2026. The page does not identify the year or the start and end dates of each calendar: it does not by itself credit all the 2026–27 expeditions.

Published calendar Granada → Sierra Nevada Sierra Nevada → Granada
Ski season: Monday to Friday 08:00, 10:15, 17:15 09:15, 16:00, 18:30
Ski season: Saturdays, Sundays and holidays 08:00, 10:15, 15:00, 17:15 09:15, 13:00, 16:00, 18:30
Out of ski season: every day 09:15 17:00

Compare the date and departure at the operator and when purchasing. Tocina publishes the telephone number 958 465 022 for assistance. Do not automatically transfer these times to an intermediate pick-up or another bus in the mountains.

Discrepancy with the seller’s general page

The Movelia information page shows a service at 09:00, compared to 09:15 out of season in Tocina. That token is not equivalent to a search result for your day. If there is a contradiction, confirm with the operator and review the departure of the shipment you are going to buy; Don’t choose a time just for a general result.

Ticket price and purchase

Tocina links the purchase on Movelia and announces sales at the box office. The general Movelia file shows “from €5”, but that figure is not taken as a confirmed rate for your date, mode or return journey. Check the total before paying.

  1. Enter origin, destination, date and travelers in the purchasing channel linked by the operator.
  2. Check station or stop, departure time and direction of travel.
  3. If you return on the same day, check and organize your return as well before closing the plan.
  4. Read the baggage, changes, cancellation and presentation conditions of the ticket; save the confirmation.

The Movelia page indicates receipt of the ticket by mail and presentation from the phone. Follow the instructions for your purchase and keep an accessible copy. On-board sales at the Palacio de Congresos or a specific ticket office within the Pradollano car park are not considered accredited here: confirm these channels before traveling without a ticket.

Travel time and activity reservations

Movelia announces a duration of 45 minutes. It is a commercial reference, not a guarantee of arrival. Adds room for traffic, material pick-up and travel to the activity. Do not link the end of a class with the return departure without leaving time to return equipment and get to the stop.

Arrival at Pradollano is not equivalent to access to the lifts nor does it automatically include a class, ski pass or rental. Consult Sierra Nevada ski pass, ski lessons and equipment rental; confirm what each reservation covers.

Luggage, material and accessibility

Before buying, ask Tocina about skis, snowboards, large packages, packaging and any additional costs. If you have a wheelchair, need assistance or are traveling with a stroller, confirm the vehicle and the expedition stop. Availability of space or specific equipment is not presumed in all services.

Also check the conditions applicable to minors and animals if you bring them. Describe what you need to transport to receive a response about your case and keep that confirmation with your ticket.

Interurban bus and urban bus of the mountains

Tocina presents on its page an urban service within the Sierra Nevada, separate from the route from Granada. Do not confuse its schedule or its reference to the Hoya de la Mora with a direct interurban expedition from Granada. To get to a hotel, Los Peñones or a hiking point, confirm the route, calendar and connection you need.

Returning from a route on foot must allow you to reach the return stop with margin. If you can’t find a compatible connection, adjust the activity before booking; do not base the plan on the fact that there will be another bus without confirmation.
