2100–3300 m
Sierra Nevada is a ski resort near Granada, Andalusia, operated by the public-private company Cetursa Sierra Nevada. Its base sits at roughly 2,100 m and its summit near the Veleta massif at about 3,300 m, making it both continental Europe's southernmost major ski resort and Spain's highest-altitude one. It hosted the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 1996 and has since hosted other international events, including the 2015 Winter Universiade.
The resort's two named lifts are “telecabinas” — continuously-circulating gondolas — not true reversible cable cars.

Verified locations only: the resort area and its named cable car stations. We don't have precise coordinates for individual accommodation listings, so those aren't plotted here — use the booking link in the sidebar instead.
What the sources say
Every note below is drawn from the resort's own or an independent official publication.
Piste-km totals are disputed between sources (official site "112+ km" vs. a more granular 107.8 km cited elsewhere) and left null rather than picking one.
No true reversible cable car exists — both named lifts are continuously-circulating gondolas ("telecabinas").
Named individual lifts, lift count, and equipment shop names could not be independently confirmed this session and are left blank rather than guessed — a real research gap, not an indication the resort lacks these things.
