Traveller notes on Sierra Nevada in June
Other months in Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada's forum calls January a solid bet for skiing, with the resort's 2,100m elevation preserving snow well into spring in a good year. Regulars flag it as much colder here than the nearby Costa del Sol, and note snow chains can be required for driving when conditions turn — Andalucía has had lighter snow years recently, so it's worth checking current conditions before a trip.

- Hazard
Calima on the snow
15 Feb – 15 Jun · usuallyDust seasonSaharan dust blows north over Andalusia most often in spring, turning the sky orange and leaving the pistes pink. It ruins visibility for a day or two and shortens the snow's life. Source ↗
- Closure
Resort closed between seasons
5 May – 15 JunBetween the lifts shutting and the summer opening, Pradollano is a shuttered village of empty apartment blocks. The mountain is walkable; there is nothing at the bottom of it. Source ↗
- Season
High trail season
15 Jun – 5 Oct · usuallyOnce the snow clears, Mulhacen and Veleta are walkable and the refuges open. This is mainland Spain's highest ground, so it is cool when Granada below is unbearable.
- Opening
Summer lifts and bike park
20 Jun – 15 Sep · usuallySummer season opensA couple of gondolas run through the summer for downhill bikes and walkers, and the road up towards the Veleta becomes one of the highest climbs in Europe on a bicycle. Source ↗
