Visiting Sierra Nevada during the ski season is a fabulous experience, but the problem is that many others have the same idea as you and there are specific days when the queues to buy the ski pass at the ticket office can break your patience. Here comes a hint about how to skip the queues.

Many hotel establishments in the province of Granada are now allowed to sell ski passes of Sierra Nevada to their guests, through a software program and tickets for the lifts. This new system is already operational in twenty establishments, mostly in Sierra Nevada (Ski hotels and schools), and in tourist information centres like the Tourism Board of Granada.
