Calling all ski newbies! If you’re heading to Sierra Nevada, Spain, but skiing isn’t really your thing, fear not! There’s still an entire world of après ski waiting for you. Who says you can’t enjoy the luxurious side of Sierra Nevada without hitting the slopes? Here’s the Swish guide to looking and acting the part on the slopes and rocking the “après ski” scene:
Dress to Impress, Even Without the Ski Gear:
Just because you’re not hitting the slopes doesn’t mean you can’t rock some fashionable winter attire. Leave the ski gear to the professionals and opt for stylish outfits that will make heads turn. Think cosy cashmere sweaters, fashionable coats, and chic accessories. And yes, feel free to wear those high heels if you dare (though we recommend bringing some comfy boots for walking too.)Find the Hottest Après Ski Spots:
Sierra Nevada boasts some fantastic après ski spots where you can indulge in the finer things in life. Explore mountain lodges with roaring fireplaces, elegant lounges with panoramic views, and lively bars with a buzzing atmosphere. Sip on mulled wine, hot cocoa topped with mountains of whipped cream, or enjoy a glass of bubbly while mingling with fellow non-skiers.Embrace the Art of Hygge:
Après ski is all about embracing the cosy side of life. Snuggle up in soft blankets by the fire, enjoy a soothing spa treatment, or take a leisurely stroll through picturesque snow-covered landscapes. Relaxation and comfort are the name of the game, so pamper yourself and let your worries melt away. For more tips on all things hygge, read our guide on the Swish Marbella website, here.Indulge in Gourmet Delights:
Sierra Nevada offers an array of gourmet dining options that will leave your taste buds singing. Treat yourself to hearty mountain cuisine, delectable tapas, or a decadent chocolate fondue. Don’t forget to sample the local wines and spirits for a truly immersive culinary experience.Mix and Mingle:
One of the best parts of après ski is meeting new people and sharing stories. Strike up conversations with fellow non-skiers, exchange tales of your adventures (or lack thereof), and revel in the vibrant atmosphere. Who knows, you might even make lifelong friends and create unforgettable memories.Enjoy the Non-Skiing Activities:
Sierra Nevada offers a multitude of non-skiing activities that cater to all interests. Explore the stunning natural beauty of the region and immerse yourself in the winter wonderland without ever strapping on a pair of skis just by being a part of it.
So, ski newbies, fear not! Sierra Nevada has plenty to offer beyond the slopes. Embrace the luxury and glamour of après ski, sip on hot cocoa in style and make the most of the non-skiing activities available.
Whether you’re cosying up by the fire, indulging in gourmet delights, or mingling with fellow non-skiers, the mountains of Sierra Nevada hold a world of après ski adventures just waiting for you. So, kick off those high heels (or keep them on if you dare!) and let the glamorous side of Sierra Nevada embrace you.
Cheers to a fabulous non-skiing adventure!
With love
