Pradollano

Pradollano has served as a ski-resort base in Andalusia’s Sierra Nevada since the 1960s. At roughly 2,100 metres above sea level, this purpose-built settlement is the main hub of the Sierra Nevada ski area, set beneath the high slopes of Veleta, one of mainland Spain’s tallest peaks. Its location gives the resort a distinctly alpine character despite southern Spain’s Mediterranean setting. Sierra Nevada staged the 1996 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, placing this mountain area firmly on the international winter-sports map. In summer, Pradollano is also a base for exploring the high country of Sierra Nevada National Park. See how Pradollano fits into the wider Andalusian mountains by browsing webcams nearby.
