Above Puente Palo in the Alpujarras lies a winter wonderland of fun and beautiful scenery. Against a backdrop of adverse mountain snow conditions we had headed upwards to the Cebollar hut.

These photos were shot recently by client, Andy Ward during a ski touring day in the Loma del San Juan on the northern slopes of Veleta, Sierra Nevada. A super collection of atmospheric photos helped by a cold wind and some stunning winter landscapes. Ski Touring in the Sierra Nevada
