Spain may not be most people's first choice when it comes to skiing, but with ski resorts in five distinct regions of the country, skiing in Spain is gaining in popularity. As the second most mountainous country in Europe (after Switzerland), Spain offers excellent skiing despite its relatively southern latitude.
Spanish winter sports resorts abound not only in the Pyrenees along the northern border, but as far south as the Sierra Nevada in the south of Spain. The temperatures might be a little bit higher, but nevertheless, snow still falls in Spain. Many resorts are easily accessible from major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona.The terrain and consistent snow cover make the country a reliable choice - with well groomed pistes, excellent facilities, high standard ski schools, a great choice of accommodation and buzzing nightlife.
