There is no train access around the national park, although Granada links to the major cities of Madrid, Sevilla and Málaga.

Summer ski lift

From late June until the end of August or beginning of September the ski area normally opens a gondola and a chairlift above the ski town of Pradollano. This allows you to travel from the town at 2000m to the cool air of nearly 3000m in 30min. The drop-off point is at the top of the Veleta chairlift, a 15min walk from Posiciones del Veleta. Access to the higher walking trails is very easy from here, but bear in mind that many others will be also treading the trail to Veleta and Mulhacén this way. An early start is recommended. Check www.sierranevada.es/en/ for up-to-date opening times and prices. (It’s worth noting that the price for a ticket includes the upward and return journey but only for the same day. There are differing price structures if you intend to camp out and come back the following day. Inquire at the ticket office in Pradollano.)
