“Slow Ski” by Vincci Selección Rumaykiyya 5*: the luxury of experiencing the mountains

The Vincci Hoteles chain launches a new philosophy for enjoying Sierra Nevada at a slower pace, combining skiing, wellness, and haute cuisine at its five-star hotel in the mountains.

This winter, Vincci Selección Rumaykiyya 5* invites you to enjoy winter without haste. In an increasingly fast-paced world, the highest hotel in Europe introduces a new rhythm to experience the snow: Slow Ski — a philosophy that combines skiing, relaxation, and mindful pleasure for those seeking an authentic mountain getaway, whether they ski or not.

Inspired by the slow life movement, Slow Ski isn’t about doing less, but about living more intensely what you do: feeling the texture of freshly groomed snow, the magical light of dawn, or the silence after the last descent. It’s an invitation to reconnect with what matters — with nature, and with yourself.

A Natural Retreat with Direct Access to the Slopes

Located at over 2,400 meters above sea level with direct access to the slopes, Vincci Selección Rumaykiyya 5* naturally embodies the slow spirit. Its privileged location, slightly removed from the bustle, allows you to enjoy Sierra Nevada in peace, surrounded by spectacular views and a cozy, elegant atmosphere.



The hotel combines the warmth of wood, natural materials, and the serenity of high-mountain landscapes with five-star services: spacious rooms, a spa with panoramic views, and top-level gastronomy. Every detail is designed to help guests experience the mountain with all their senses — whether during a ski day or a stay devoted to rest, nature, and fine dining.

This slow philosophy can be felt from the moment of check-in, which begins with a glass of champagne, welcoming guests into a different rhythm. A welcome kit includes relaxing gourmet teas and infusions, a journaling notebook to capture the journey, a book about the region, and a slow routes map, along with activity suggestions at Sierra Nevada. Guests can also access a relaxation guide with exercises to practice in-room serenity or request a portable projector for a cozy private movie night.

Slow Gastronomy: La Alquería, the Taste of Winter

The Slow Ski experience continues at the table. At La Alquería Restaurant, guests can enjoy a gourmet menu based on local produce and seasonal dishes, where tradition meets innovation in a warm, elegant setting.

The hotel also offers regional cooking workshops on request, led by its culinary team, allowing guests to explore local flavors and learn to prepare them hands-on.



The culinary ritual continues with late breakfasts turned into à la carte brunches, exquisite bites at the Edelweiss Après Ski Bar, and long evenings by the fireplace at El Refugio, where conversations linger by the fire. At sunset, the 2300 Winter Lounge terrace offers the perfect spot to enjoy live music, cocktails, or appetizers as the sun sets over the peaks of Sierra Nevada.

For Skiers (and Non-Skiers)

Slow Ski appeals to those who want to enjoy the snow without the pressure of being first on the slopes — but also to those seeking a complete mountain stay, even without skiing.



The hotel offers personalized lessons focused on technique and enjoyment, guided snowshoe walks, panoramic trails, forest bathing, and snowmobile rides, along with its exclusive Ski Concierge service: a host who takes care of everything snow-related — lift passes, equipment rental, ski lessons, slope updates, or activities — so guests only need to focus on enjoying themselves.

Wellness and Relaxation with a View of the Snow

The nAmmu Áreas Spa expands its menu this season with post-ski massages using local essential oils, after-snow treatments, and yoga or meditation sessions facing the mountains.



For those seeking complete disconnection, the hotel offers a Digital Detox option, where devices are stored upon arrival and returned at the end of the stay, giving time and sensations back their rightful place.

More Than a Trend, an Attitude

Slow Ski is not just a way to ski — it’s a way to be. An invitation to savor time, to watch the snow fall, to extend a conversation after lunch, or to gaze at the mountains with no purpose other than being present.

“We want to reclaim the pleasure of slowing down — of enjoying the surroundings, the hotel, the gastronomy, and the journey itself. Rumaykiyya is the perfect setting to rediscover that true luxury, even in the snow, lies in taking the time to feel it,” explain the team at Vincci Hoteles.

Tailor-Made “Slow Ski” Experiences

Designed for both skiers and those looking for a different kind of mountain getaway, Vincci Selección Rumaykiyya 5* has curated three exclusive experiences that combine nature, gastronomy, and wellness:

Slow Ski Experience: breakfast with local produce, a private ski lesson or snowshoe walk, spa session with post-ski massage, and regional tasting dinner.
Slow Day Experience: timeless brunch, facial treatment at the spa, tasting menu at La Alquería, and reading time by the fireplace with a glass of champagne.

Slow Balance Experience: healthy breakfast, “forest bathing” in Sierra Nevada National Park, spa circuit, and tasting menu with an aperitif on the 2300 terrace.

Each of these experiences reflects the same philosophy: living the mountains at a different pace — enjoying both activity and rest in equal measure.
