What Does This Consist Of?
Sierra Nevada consistently reputes to having one of the longest winter seasons in Europe due to its high altitude and self-generating micro climate that keeps the peaks from 2000m upwards generally white for nearly half the year!
Little wonder is it then that ski mountaineering is highly feasible and quite popular. Stone huts, shelters and refuges are dotted all over the range allowing for overnight stops along the highest points in the country.
