Questions about Ski and snowboard school
School for all
- Can adults and children have lessons with the same instructor?In order to ensure they learn correctly, we do not recommend that adults and children have the same instructor, as the teaching methods are different.
- What ski level should I choose when booking a lesson?You should choose your ski level in line with the colour of the slopes: beginner if you have never skied before, green/blue if you have skied before, blue/red if you are an accomplished skier, and red/black if you are an expert skier. However, the instructor for the group lessons will always carry out a short test before starting, in order to check participants’ levels. The instructors for private lessons can easily adapt to the level of their clients.
- Is it advisable to book skiing lessons in advance?We recommend booking in advance, especially for certain dates in high season such as Christmas, Epiphany, Carnival and Easter.
- Can I start group lessons any day of the week?
The group lessons that are for 3, 4 or 5 days start on Mondays, and the ones that are for 2 days start on Saturdays. It is not possible to start on another day of the week, except on 27 December, when there is a special start date for the classes that are for 3, 4 or 5 days.
