Pradollano Snow Information
Sol y Nieve - the skiing resort in the Sierra Nevada
Solynieve or Sol y Nieve - Pradollano is the name of this amazing ski resort in the Sierra Nevada.
The name "sun and snow" is self explaining
It is almost guaranteed that you will enjoy sunny days in your holidays in Pradollano. Statistics proof that Sol y Nieve (Sun and Snow) is the ski resort with the most hours of sunshine.
The sun is shining at 70% of the days in one year!
Solynieve is situated in a hight of 2.100m til 3.300m above sea level. Therefore the snow quality is good even in the late spring time.
The Snow Season in Pradollano
The snow season usually starts (of course depending on weather conditions) in late november and lasts until may.
The andalusian sun has an important influence on the snow conditions as they will change during the day. The best time to enjoy fast but grippy slopes is between 9am and 13pm when the sun is slowly melting the frozen snow top layer. Advanced skiiers and snowboarders will like this time most and enjoy the snow.
From 13pm until 17pm the snow will be quite a bit softer and slower which might be even better for those who are about to learn skiing or snowboarding. Falling on hard pack hurts more than falling on soft snow! ;-)
Artificial snow in Pradollano
Even if nature wouldn't support your snow holidays (by keeping away the clouds to bring the fresh snow) there are 428 snow canons to provide 31,8km of slopes with artificial snow.
Off piste terrain offers some rides in powder snow in the Sierra Nevada. But remeber: it is not allowed to leave the officially marked slopes unless you join a ski touring trip with a qualified guide who knows the terrain and its dangerous aspects. Of course there are such tours offered in Pradollano.
Maybe Pradollano is not the biggest ski resort, but in matters of infrastructure Sol y Nieve / Pradollano is hard to top.
Every type of accommodation is available - a large variety of transportation possibilities (lifts) to reach the slopes or the different levels of the village are provided - and gastronomic service as well as shopping facilities are being offered to the sporty clients.
