Meeting Point 

The meeting point is always on the slopes (unless required differently), in Borreguiles, immediately to the right of the exit of the Al Andaluz gondola (telecabina). 

In case you take the telecabina Borreguiles from Pradollano to Borreguiles, you need to go up both flight escalators as you leave the gondola; then leave the building out to the Borreguiles terrace, cross it and head for the building in front (30 meters away), where the telecabina Al Andaluz arrives. 

Ski pass (forfait) purchase & Accommodation

To order your ski pass (forfait) in advance is highly recommendable since the number of passes available each day is limited and varies according to the date and demand. The prices are 'dynamic' (since 2022) depending on the demand and may increase with the proximity of the date. Avoid arriving at Sierra Nevada and finding the passes sold out! 

We are not mediators but mere 'facilitators'. We work exclusively with the agency BED & SNOW of Sierra Nevada (their store is located at the plaza Pradollano; working hours 09:00-20:00). Tell us how many adults and kids (ageing 15 or less) need the ski-pass, and the exact consecutive days you want to use them (to get the 'Family deal', you need a minimum of 3 nuclear family members, for a minimum of 3 days pass, and will have to present/send a copy of the family book or passports). Make us a bank transfer of a little more of the estimated value (since prices are dynamic), the agency will buy them for you, and we will make them available to you at the rental store (Pradollano plaza) on the day you rent your ski/snowboard equipment, with no extra cost.

We will not purchase any ski passes/forfait with less than 5 days in advance; for a single day use or weekends only, or if they are not yet fully payed. Remember the Cetursa conditions will also apply, specially regarding devolutions (20 euros will be retained), etc. (any eventual problems with the functioning of the ski passes will have to be handled with the 'Atención al cliente' office, in front of the Al Andaluz gondola). 

The BED & SNOW agency deals with apartments located at the central and intermediate zone of the Sierra Nevada resort and will find the best options for the most comfortable stay of your group. We will get you in touch! 

Ski & snowboard rentals

Snow Life has an agreement with Lawine rental store that grants you an immediate discount of 10% on any ski/snowboard rentals in case you are having classes with us. They are very professional and will grant you the best assistance and updated equipment. The store is located at Plaza Andaluzia, store nº 11 of edifício Montebajo building (the closest, 15 meters away, to the Al Andaluz gondola), opens 08:30 to 18:30 (till 19:30 fridays and saturdays) with prices from 25€/day (ski)/ 27€ snowboard; 15€ (snowboard or ski for children under 12) - see all at 'About ski'.
