The ULTRA SIERRA NEVADA was created to enjoy the natural environment of the Sierra Nevada and all the beauties that exist in Granada and its province with the utmost respect for the natural environment.
Once again this year, we continue with the same enthusiasm, with a spectacular route starting in the city of Granada, passing through the towns of Beas, Quentar, Pinos Genil and arriving at the ski resort of Pradollano having reached the summit of the Veleta at an altitude of 3,100 metres. In total 100 kilometres of mountains and nature that will be tough but unforgettable.
As always, we will need all the help we can get to make Granada and the Sierra Nevada a reference point for tourism and sport, thus helping to create new economic expectations for the province.
