Non-Ski Fun

1. Mirlo Blanco (Pradollano)

An amusement park in the snow located at the end of the Rio slope. Ideal for children who don't ski.

  • Russian Sled (Roller coaster)
  • Tubing and Snow-bike
  • Designated sledding zone

2. Sleds (Hoya de la Mora)

Insider Tip: Using sleds on ski slopes is prohibited for safety. You can only use them in designated areas.

If you are looking for a more 'wild' and free experience, go up to Hoya de la Mora (highest part of the road). There you can rent sleds at the kiosks or bring your own. It is an uncontrolled area, so be careful!

My First Steps

Nursery (Pradollano)

For the little ones (babies up to 6 years old) who are not going to ski. They play warmly in indoor facilities while you ski.

No skis

Alpine Garden (Borreguiles)

The intermediate step. An enclosed area in the snow with magic carpets for them to have their first contact with skis while playing.

Parking with kids

Recommended: Plaza de Andalucía Parking (Underground). It's expensive, but the elevator takes you directly to the gondolas.

Avoid Los Peñones if you have a stroller (requires chairlift).
