At Ordino Arcalís we are aware of the importance of learning to ski from an early age and doing so in the best possible way, surrounded by a spectacular and safe environment.
Our children's circuits are designed with the youngest skiers in mind, offering slopes adapted to their level and age. From gentle slopes to fun obstacles, always designed to encourage learning and fun.
The Kids Forest children's circuit is much more than a play area: it's a key tool to introduce young children to skiing in a safe, progressive and fun way. Through play and movement, they develop essential motor skills like balance, coordination and agility. In the different sections of the circuit, they perform turns, stops and small jumps that help them gain control of their skis and build confidence on the snow.
Kids Forest is also designed to promote staged learning, with adapted levels to each phase of the process. This allows young skiers to face increasing challenges, while learning basic safety rules and how to interpret slope signage. Altogether, it encourages respectful coexistence with other skiers and a better understanding of the mountain environment.
Ordino Arcalís has transformed the famous Megaverda - the longest green slope in the Pyrenees - into a new Kids Forest circuit, with an 8.5 km themed route designed for children and families. This immersive experience blends fun and learning, with sections adapted to children's skill levels and guided by the characters Nae, Vulpi, Bo and Mona.
In addition to the new Megaverda circuit, the resort also maintains the Kids Forest area at Planells, with modules designed to support beginners and make their first days on the snow safe and fun.
Both the Planells circuit and the rest of the kids' areas have been upgraded this season to offer an even more complete experience.
Each character represents a different learning stage and guides children throughout the circuit, which includes specific signage, interactive challenges and a stamp collection system that ends with a surprise. The result is a fun, educational and progressive snow experience.
Meet the Kids Forest characters: Mona, a 4-year-old marmot who’s just starting to ski; Bo, a 6-year-old capercaillie who’s gaining confidence; Vulpi, a 9-year-old fox with an intermediate level; and Nae, an 11-year-old chamois who masters skiing or snowboarding.
Come and meet them — and enjoy the Kids Forest adventure with the whole family!
