Skiing
The ski resort of Sol y Nieve is located in
the Sierra Nevada mountains. It is the most southerly ski resort in
Europe and is small in comparison with other
European
resorts. It has numerous runs, of varying difficulties, to satisfy
all skiing desires. Natural snow is supplemented by snow cannons on
some runs. Being so far south, many skiers are pleasantly surprised
to find the air temperature is usually warmer than other resorts.
There is a surprisingly active nightlife in the Sierra Nevada resort. Spaniards have a reputation for being 'night owls' and this can be witnessed even in a skiing resort. Most of the visitors come from Madrid and the cities of Andalucia, weekends and banks holidays are particularly busy.
The season is December to April. The resort hosted the 1996 world ski championships.
The Sierra Nevada resort is only 45 minutes drive from Granada city, so about 1½ hours from Iznajar.
