Further south, above Granada in Andalucia is the Sierra Nevada which in spite of its sunny climate has hosted the World Alpine Ski Championships. Skiiing also can now be found in Spain in the height of summer. The Xanadu shopping mall southwest of Madrid offers an indoor slope -- basically a beginner ski slope, although with a jump or two built in -- throughout the year.

Top Tips for Skiing in Formigal

1. Stay Warm. Other than buying good quality ski clothing, you should always dress in layers as they trap warm air in the spaces between.
2. Stay hydrated. You must replenish your liquids from all that exercise.
3. Take a lesson. No matter how good your skiing, it can be invaluable to get expert advice both on your style and the local conditions and ski slopes.
4. If you don’t fall, you’re not skiing hard enough. Many ski instructors say that you cannot get better without pushing yourself.
5. Look out for beginners. We all started as beginners and their occasional lack of control is to be expected, not a cause for your annoyance.
