But skiing is not the only thing you can do in the Sierra Nevada. There are many activities to enjoy during the season. By the way the lift ski passes are priced from 33 – 40 Euros with special rates for children, the retired and disabled.
Some of the activities are designed for the snow and some are not, and some of them are especially suitable for the kids and families.
