Frequently Asked Questions


How do i book a lesson?

Just send us an enquiry or simply give us a call (+34 670 461330) and our office staff will advise you on availability, prices and the best options for you.

what is the best time to come up?

As one of Europe’s highest ski resorts, it is very snow sure and typically has a long ski season which usually starts around the end of November and runs through to the first week of May. The ski terrain in Sierra Nevada has options to suit skiers and snowboarders of all standards making it the perfect place for a ski holiday. Generally the weather from January onwards is great. Half term and major Holidays are quite busy. March and April on the other hand are perfect for fewer queues and great snow.

How do i get to the meeting point?

Meet us at our top office in Borreguiles! Take the Al-Andalus Gondola and exit the station to the left. Around the corner of the building you will find a number of ski school office and meeting points. Our office is the 6th one down the line with our “BSC” logo above the door.

Do I need a ski pass ?

Yes. For any level of skier/boarder, you will need a ski pass. There is just one main option for everyone. Ski pass prices are changeable and effectively cheaper the sooner you book them! Please contact Lynn: sierraessence@skisierranevada.co.uk to arrange these in advance.

If you are a “non-skier” you can buy a pedestrian pass which gives you access for one ride up (and down) either of the two main gondola’s.
