Granada is a vibrant university city that is well know for it beauty, its history, and for its culture and nightlife. It has stunning surroundings including the Sierra Nevada, and Sierra de Huétor which sit over Granada like a movie set backdrop.

Many people only associate Spain with sand and sun and are surprised to find that Spain also offers great skiing. And you are right about the sun - the ski fields above Granada are known to have more sunny days and the less lose of ski days due to bad weather - in the whole of Europe!

Our school was one of the first in Granada and our staff are professionals who have all been teaching for a number of years. Some are younger, yet all are friendly and want to make your time with us special. We want you to progress as quickly as possible and our teaching of Spanish are based on experience and well proven techniques to allow this to happen.

Highlights

The Sierra Nevada is Spain's number one skiing location with reputably the best snow and the longest season in the country. One can look forward to five months of snow. Sierra Nevada has 61km of ski slopes with 45 pistes and 6 off-piste routes. There are 2 cable cars, 12 chair lifts and 5 ski lifts. The ski resort is open from 9am to 5pm although you can ski at night at weekends and bank holidays. Night skiing was introduced in 1994 with lighting along the El Rio slope (3km/545 vertical drop).

We like our students, to make the most of this spectacular scenery and one of the best ways to do this is high on the slopes enjoying yourself skiing.

Join us, our teachers, and ski the slopes only 30 minutes from the centre of Granada. Learn Spanish and have a unforgettable time skiing and snowboarding as you enjoy the wonderful city of Granada.
