With good snowsure conditions from December to May, the Sierra Nevada
is one of Europe's best areas to learn the basics of travelling
through the high mountains on skis. We run both beginners courses
and also trips for the more experienced.
(See also our "Night Skiing"
trips)We run holidays aimed at the complete beginner to the sport
and spend the initial day on the piste at the Sierra Nevada ski
centre becoming acquainted with the skis, skins and boots. Then
it's off on our first foray off piste, when a simple day tour up
and down Veleta (3,398m) will be made. From then on we either do
day or multi-day trips from access points to the north and south
of the range. We will stay in the high Poqueira Hut, which will
allow us many great days skiing, including an ascent of Mulhacen
(3,479m), the highest point in mainland Spain. The intention will
be to progressively increase the standard of each day's tour.
The course is
suitable for those with some previous on piste experience who are
also strong mountain walkers. We can provide skies, skins and poles
as part of the holiday cost.
We also run
trips for those who have tried ski mountaineering before but who
wish to expand their skills and experience.
