SIERRA NEVADA, SPAIN "SUN AND SKI PARADISE" 18 | EUROPE If you’re looking for a guarantee of snow and sunshine then you should probably head to the place often referred to as the “Sunniest Ski Resort in Europe.” The resort sits almost entirely above the treeline, so it’s easy to get around on wide slopes that climb to 3300 metres and claim that you’ve skied the whole mountain. The Spanish tradition of siesta is still a large part of local life, so you and your students might just be the only ones on the slopes in the middle of the afternoon. Did YoU KNOW? As the highest southernmost ski resort in Spain and within view of the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa (on a clear day, of course), Sierra Nevada gets plenty of sun to go along with its healthy heaping of snow.
