Fuente del Mirlo Blanco is the snow play area of the Sierra Nevada resort, at the end of the Río slope and beside the Antonio Jara chairlift, at about 2,100 metres, above Pradollano. It is the place for anyone who goes up to the sierra and does not ski, or for children who are not yet putting on skis: slides, rings, sledges, trampolines and the Mirlo Sled, a roller coaster on rails.
The Mirlo Sled and the rest of the park
The Mirlo Sled is the main attraction: a sled that goes down a rail with banked curves and bumps, and which the park itself presents as the star attraction for anyone seeking speed. Around it there is a tubing area with rings, snow bikes, sledges, slides, children's attractions, trampolines and an ice rink. There is also a catering cabin in the area.
Hours and prices
In the winter season, the activity area, with rings, snow bikes, the children's area, tubing and sledges, opens from 10:00 to 16:30, and the Mirlo Sled every day from 10:00 to 17:15. According to the rates published by the resort, one ride on the Mirlo Sled costs from €7, 45 minutes of activities from €14 and the combined 45 minutes with a sled ride, from €21. Tickets are bought at the entrance or online. No lift pass is needed: the activities are paid for individually.

How to get up there
The park is at the end of the Río slope, above Pradollano; ask at the resort how to walk up from Plaza de Andalucía, next to the gondola. If you come by car, leave the car in the Pradollano car parks; if you come from Granada without a car, the bus from Granada to Sierra Nevada drops you in the village. Snow footwear, gloves and waterproof clothing, even if you are not going to ski.
Who it is for
For families with small children and for those accompanying skiers. If the children want to learn to ski, the resort has a nursery and school at the Cole de la Nieve. On the same Río slope there is night skiing on the dates the resort announces. For eating on the slopes, the Central Grill at Borreguiles has a set menu.
