One of Europe’s hidden gems for schools.

When it comes to Spain, most people immediately think of the food, weather and beaches. Few think of the skiing, yet Spain is one of Europe’s most mountainous countries.

From the Pyrenees that line the French-Spanish border to the Sierra Nevada mountains of Andalusia, Spain has several high-altitude ranges. And with that comes a reliable level of snowfall each winter season, providing excellent conditions for skiers.

We think it’s a hidden gem for school groups – it’s quiet, affordable, and the slopes suit beginners and intermediates. Take a look at the resorts you can visit below, and then get in touch to start planning your next school ski trip to Spain.

Why Choose Spain For Skiing?

Snowsure Resorts

We know what you’re thinking. How much snow can Spain, a country known for its hot weather, really get?

The answer is “plenty”. Resorts like Sierra Nevada and Alp2500 sit high in the sky, with most slopes well above 2,000m. This means reliable snowfall throughout the season, which lasts from December to April.

Plus, Spanish ski resorts have invested in advanced snow-making systems to provide top-ups when required.

Sunshine Skiing

There’s nothing quite like skiing down a mountain when the skies are blue, the sun is shining, and the air is crisp.

As you might expect, Spain offers sunshine skiing in abundance. And the views on a clear day are something to behold. 

From the top of Sierra Nevada, you can look out to the sea and make out Morocco’s Atlas Mountains in the distance. In Alp2500, the snow-capped Pyrenean peaks stretch across the horizon.

Fewer Crowds

Spain is not a major tourist destination for skiers, who tend to head to the more popular French and Austrian resorts. Meanwhile, Spanish locals mainly ski at the weekend.

That means the slopes are relatively quiet from Monday to Friday, which is ideal for school groups. You won’t be waiting around for lifts and it’s easy to get served at lunchtime. That means more time spent learning new skills and having fun on the slopes.
