Ski resorts in Spain

This page compares 24 ski resorts in Spain, grouped into 13 areas, with top elevations from 1,778 to 3,300 m. For each one: base elevation, top elevation, vertical drop, kilometres of slopes, lifts and the breakdown of runs by level, with a link to its page and to its rental.

Compare the ski resorts in Spain

Every cell shows only what the resort publishes: where we have no figure there is a dash, never an estimate. The vertical drop is the top elevation minus the base elevation, and the level breakdown is a percentage of the ski area, worked out from the figures each resort publishes.
