Sierra Nevada Activity Holidays

We provide activity holidays in the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada of Andalucia, southern Spain. The area provides great opportunities for all, from the high and wild mountains, in winter, to the more gentle hills of the Alpujarras. There is something to interest everybody.

We have been operating here, from our permanent base in Lanjaron, for over 8 years and offer a wide range of holidays. Our enthusiastic team of professional guides live and work here, and know the mountains and environment intimately. We are the first, most established and experienced UK guides operating year round in the Sierra Nevada. Access is easy from Granada, Malaga or Almeria airports.

We offer trips of any duration and any start date. Singles and groups are welcomed. Tailor made, family friendly activity courses available and also support for self guided climbers, walkers and trekkers.
