Kids lesson pricesLessons from €110.
The price is for the whole lesson, not per person: if there are several of you, you share it. Pick your options and we will tell you what yours costs.
How many of you?
The price covers the lesson with the instructor only: it does not include the lift pass or equipment hire, and we sort both out separately. Each extra person always adds the same. If there are more than 10 of you, message us and we will organise it with you.

Frequently asked questions
From what age can children take lessons?+
From 3 years old. At that age we work mainly on getting comfortable with the snow and the equipment, through games and sessions matched to how long they can concentrate.
Which other children will my child be with?+
None you don't already know: the lesson is private, so it's for your child alone or for the children you come with. If several families come together and the ages or levels are very different, we split them between instructors rather than putting them all in one lesson.
What if my child has never skied before?+
That's the most common case. The children's beginner lesson starts from zero and assumes no previous experience at all.
Are helmets compulsory for children?+
On the open slopes they aren't required by law, but in our children's lessons they are non-negotiable. If you need help choosing one, just ask us before the lesson.
Where do we drop off and pick up the children?+
At the meeting point in Borreguiles. When we confirm the booking we'll tell you the exact spot and the start and finish times.
Does the price include the lift pass and equipment rental?+
No. The price covers the lesson with your instructor only. The lift pass and equipment rental are separate, and we can arrange both for you if you need them.
Getting the children's kit right
The mistake we see most is buying a size up so it lasts: with room to spare the child can't control anything, tires sooner and gets blisters. These guides all have a section for children.
How to choose ski and snowboard gloves
Gloves or mittens, waterproofing, insulation and getting the size right. A clear guide to choosing well and not freezing on the mountain.
Ski and snowboard socks: how to choose them
Why warm feet need less sock rather than more, which areas should be padded, and the mistake of tucking your base layer inside them.
Base layers for skiing and snowboarding: how to choose
Merino or synthetic, which weight to pick, and why two pairs of socks leave your feet colder. The cheapest garment in your kit.
How to choose your ski boots
The shell fit test, why they should feel tight in the shop, what last width is, and why your boot sole is a safety question.
How to choose your snowboard boots
The heel test is what decides, not the toe test. Why they should feel tight in the shop, what overhang is, and how to lace them in two zones.
Hats, neck gaiters and balaclavas: what to wear under your helmet
What you can wear under a helmet without compromising its fit, and why pulling your neck gaiter over your nose is what fogs your goggles.
