HAS Sierra Nevada He skis, but not only that. Although it is true that the majority of users go until the winter season Grenade For this – and to a lesser extent also for snowboarding – there are also users who … They combine one of these two activities with skating. Or they opt directly for the latter. Because there’s everything up there.
One of the fundamental characteristics of the Sierra Nevada is its family character. Many couples go there with their children, it is quite common to find children on the slopes… and elsewhere too, because the resort’s activities are designed for them (in fact for everyone, because it is impossible not to enjoy them) White Merle. Their motto is: “Enjoy the snow without putting on skis”.
Although Mirlo Blanco’s star attraction is probably the roller coaster, a sleigh where two people can ride and whose main attraction is that travelers decide the speed, in the area, at 2,100 meters above sea level, there is also slides, trampolines and an ice rink that delights everyone who tries it.
It is valid for all ages and even for those who have never worn skates in their life. There is always an instructor in sight ready to give a helping hand to beginners, who are however advised not to stray too far from the guardrails to avoid falls. Which are part of the game anyway. Old people fall too and nothing happens.
It’s not a dangerous place and you don’t even need a helmet. Thermal clothing, especially in winter, is more than recommended because in Pradollano, where the track is located, it is rare for the thermometer to exceed zero degrees during the months of December and January. It is obligatory to enter the field with glovesalthough if the user does not carry them they can purchase them on site. They are made of wool and this ensures that you won’t end up with frozen little fingers.

The track, one of the largest in Spain, opens between eleven in the morning and five in the afternoon and the last daily passage takes place at four in the afternoon. Enjoying it for as long as you deem convenient costs ten euros. The squares, logically, are limited because, despite their size, they can collapse and this must be avoided at all costs: dancing on the snow while constantly avoiding others is a chore.
Sierra Nevada recommends the ice rink as an extraordinary complement to the slopes. In this case, it is advisable to know which ones are best for two specific groups: the smallest and those with less experience. They don’t always have to be the same, because there are older people who, for one reason or another, have never worn skis. If you want to learn, by the way, there are dozens of schools in the resort with wonderful instructors. Knowing the basics doesn’t take many hours of effort.
Let’s go with the clues: for children, one of the most recommended is Shark Fun Trailwhich is, as they explain from the mountains, “strewn with maritime motifs where children can play, interact and have fun with their parents without stopping skiing: marine animals, a whale, a shark and numerous shells guide their descents”.
Children’s playpen It is also aimed at the little ones, accompanied by their parents, and is described as ideal for learning freestyle – tricks, jumps, pirouettes and others – without risks and with professional advice. And the Alpine Garden is an initiation program for children aged 3 to 12, which also has a cabin with games.
Beginners can also enjoy the aforementioned Shark Fun Trail and Kidspark, as well as the Kid Fun Trail. In any case, they have guaranteed advice and the height differences are so rare that even if there are falls, which is almost inevitable, it is more than there are unlikely to be serious consequences. Ending up with a broken leg isn’t the best way to spend a vacation.
