The cost of fun: Prices for skiing and snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada Mountains

What does a day of skiing in the Sierra Nevada cost?
A day in the snow, overlooking the sea. But what do you actually spend on such a day on the slopes?

Skiing in the Sierra Nevada is something special. Not only because when the weather is clear you can see Morocco, but also because you can be on skis in the morning and eat tapas in Granada in the evening. Anyway, before you hoist yourself in goggles and snowsuit: what does it really cost?

We list it for you.
