Skiing
The Sierra Nevada Ski Resort " Solynieve" can boast superb skiing at an altitude of over 10,000 feet with brilliant sunshine and breathtaking views. Known as the friendly mountain, the skiing range is wide open with long and gentle runs, although the resort does boast an above tree line vertical of 3,757 feet.
The mountain can be a delight for strong skiers with some challenging runs, whilst intermediates will be in heaven with long mellow cruising and big giant slalom turns. Beginners are also well catered for with plenty of space and experienced tuition available.
Snow boarding is allowed on the entire mountain, though is limited around the beginners ski practice area for obvious safety reasons.
There is a snow board school and plenty of snow board rentals.
Other activities, such as snow tubing is a must, whilst snowmobiling and dog sledding can also be enjoyed.
The Sierra Nevada Ski resort of Solynieve is a little over 1 - 1/2 hours drive from Cortijo Las Chumbas.
If you prefer to take things a little quieter and enjoy cross country skiing or just good old fashioned sledging fun for all the family, then we recommend Puerto de le Ragua, which is just over an hour's drive from Cortijo Las Chumbas, a small quiet resort with spectacular views in every direction where you can hire a ski guide for cross country skiing and sledges.
