You do not need to put on skis or a snowboard to enjoy the magic of Sierra Nevada. Located just 32 kilometers from Granada, Europe’s southernmost ski resort offers a thrilling alpine wonderland for families, couples, and day-trippers who simply want to play in the snow, take in jaw-dropping 3,000-meter panoramas, ride mountain rollercoasters, and dine on sunny alpine terraces.

1. Mirlo Blanco Activity Park (Pradollano)

Located right in the resort village of Pradollano (2,100 m), El Mirlo Blanco is the ultimate winter playground for non-skiers of all ages:

• The Trineo Ruso (Russian Sledge / Alpine Coaster): A thrilling 250-meter rail bobsled rollercoaster that swoops down the mountainside at speeds up to 40 km/h with 360-degree curves.
• Tubing & Donut Runs: Slide down groomed snow slopes on giant inflatable rubber donuts.
• Snow Bikes & Mini Sledges.

2. Sledging Fun at Hoya de la Mora (2,500 m)

If you prefer spontaneous sledging in nature, drive past Pradollano to the end of the A-395 highway at Hoya de la Mora. Here you will find vast open snowfields where you can rent plastic sleds for €10/day, build snowmen, and enjoy hot chocolate at rustic wooden kiosks.

3. Pedestrian Cable Car to Borreguiles & Veleta Views

Even without ski equipment, you can buy a Pedestrian Gondola Ticket (Telecabina Borreguiles) from Pradollano up to 2,700 meters altitude:

• Take in sweeping views across the resort and the Granada valley below.
• Relax on the sun decks of mountain restaurants with a hot meal or cold beer.
• On clear winter days, look across the Mediterranean Sea to the Rif mountains of Morocco!

4. Mountain Gastronomy & Village Stroll

Pradollano village features lively plazas filled with ski shops, chocolaterías, and alpine fondue restaurants. Try local mountain dishes like patatas a lo pobre con huevos, grilled meats, and churros with thick hot chocolate before heading back down to Granada.
