Sierra Nevada Nature Park
Between the cities of Granada and Almeria, approximately 2 hours drive north-east
of Málaga, the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountain range seem to
hover over the cultivated valleys, 3, 481 meters below the highest point Mt.
Mulhacen. The area's vegetation varies with altitude, ranging from lavish meadows
and dense forests in the lower altitudes to barren desert landscapes, glacial
lakes and alpine regions higher up. During the winter months (November - May),
the UNESCO protected park offer exceptional skiing opportunities with a number
of great slopes for the beginner as well as for the advanced skier. The adventurer
will also find great opportunities for activities such as rock-climbing, para-gliding,
horseback riding and mountain biking.
