Where to Rent Sleds in Sierra Nevada

Renting Sleds in Granada Cheaper

In Granada city, you can find rental shops offering sleds for 15 euros per day. It's cheaper than renting sleds in Sierra Nevada, which costs 8-10 euros per hour.

The La Esquia or Ski Snow Asc shops rent sleds for one person at 15 euros a day. These shops are located in Granada.

If you only want to rent a sled for an hour, it might be easier to do so at the sledging area. However, if you plan to stay longer, it's worth renting it in Granada.

Where to Find Sledging Areas in Sierra Nevada

Borreguiles Area

There is a dedicated area solely for sleds near the skiing slopes in Borreguiles. It spans 6500 meters and costs 10 euros for half an hour.

This track is situated at an altitude of 2,600 meters above sea level and can only be accessed via a ski lift.

The non-skier ticket costs 16.90 euros for adults and 9.20 euros for children (6-12 years old). This price might be considered too expensive for just a sled ride.

Yet, if you've already purchased the ski pass, enjoying some time in the sledging area can be a lot of fun.

On the other hand, sometimes there's a special offer: 1 ski lift return ticket + 1/2 hour at the sledging slope + lunch (a sandwich or burger + french fries + ice cream + a soft drink) for 24.70 euros. Please inquire for details.

Pradollano Area

The Pradollano village is situated right at the center of the ski resort. In this popular area, located at the foot of the skiing slopes, a new sledging area has recently opened.

It is located next to the fun area called Mirlo Blanco and costs the same as the sledging slope in Borreguiles: 10 euros for half an hour.

You don't need a ski lift to access this area.

Hoya de la Mora Area

You can go sledging for free in the area called Hoya de la Mora , located at 2500 meters above sea level.

Not surprisingly, this is the most popular area for local families to enjoy sledding. It's a large open area above the ski resort, usually accessible by car, although during busy times, restrictions might be imposed to prevent overcrowding.

For this reason, it's advisable to arrive early to secure proper parking. Alternatively, you can park at the public parking Los Peñones and walk from there, but it's a considerable distance (about 2 kilometers).

Hoya de la Mora is also the starting point for excellent hiking routes all year round, and its Albergue Universitario (hostel) is a perfect place to stay for nature lovers.
