Javalambre shares its ownership and much of its clientele with nearby Valdelinares, and it plays the same role: the closest snow to Valencia, on gentle open slopes in the dry inland mountains of southern Aragón.

The skiing is unpretentious and the season depends on cold nights, but for a region several hours from the Pyrenees it is the difference between skiing and not skiing.

Where lessons start

Wide, open and undemanding, which is exactly what a first lesson wants. Weekends are busy with day visitors from the coast; midweek is another place entirely.

Getting there

Valencia is around an hour and a half, the closest resort to the city by some margin.

Javalambre: common questions

Javalambre or Valdelinares?

They share ownership and the same role, so pick by convenience. Javalambre is the closer of the two to Valencia — around an hour and a half — with wide, open, undemanding slopes; Valdelinares is a little further and sits above the highest village in Spain, with a similarly family-shaped mountain. Both depend on cold nights and both fill at weekends with day visitors from the coast; midweek is another place entirely.
