Request my ski lessonWhat you'll get from your ski lessonsNot just getting down. Owning it.
Real confidence on the slope
You don't memorise movements, you understand why they work. That's what keeps you steady once the instructor isn't beside you.
Technique you can feel
We work on stance, edging and turn shape so every run is cleaner than the last, not just longer.
Enjoy it, don't survive it
The goal isn't to finish exhausted. It's to want to get straight back on the lift.
Ski lesson levelsYour starting point, your pace.
Beginner
For anyone stepping onto snow for the first time, or wanting to lose the fear of green and blue runs.
Intermediate and advanced
Carving technique, control and speed to take on red and black runs safely.
What our ski lessons are likeAlways private. Alone or with your group.
Always private
The instructor is for you, or for the people you bring. We never fill a lesson with strangers to make up numbers.
On your own or with your group
Come alone, as a couple or with your friends or family. We recommend a maximum of 8 per lesson: above that, the instructor's attention is spread too thin.
How to book your ski lessonBooking is this simple.
1. Message us
Tell us your level, how many of you there are and your dates.
2. We confirm
We reply within 24 hours with availability and pricing.
3. See you on the snow
We meet at Borreguiles, ready for your lesson.
Ski 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
Do I need any previous experience to book a ski lesson?+
No. Beginner lessons are designed for people who have never put skis on. We start with the basics: stance, sliding, stopping and your first turns.
How many of us can be in one lesson?+
As many as you bring. Every lesson is private, so you make up the group and we never add anyone else to it. We recommend a maximum of 8: we can take more if you ask, but the more of you there are, the more the instructor's attention is split.
Where do we meet for the lesson?+
At the meeting point in Borreguiles, Sierra Nevada. We'll send you the exact spot and time when we confirm your booking.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?+
Not necessarily. If you don't have gear, we can help you rent skis, boots, a helmet and protection before the lesson.
How do I know what level I am?+
You don't need to know exactly. Tell us what you've skied so far and we'll place you; on the first run your instructor checks your real level and adjusts the lesson.
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.
The kit for your ski lesson
If you're bringing your own gear or thinking about buying it, these are the guides that will help you most. And if you rent, they tell you what you're being given.
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 skis
Length, waist width, turn radius and flex explained so you can read any spec sheet, plus the part almost nobody covers: the bindings.
How to choose ski poles
The length is your height times 0.7. Aluminium unless you race. And why letting go of the pole when you fall matters more than whether you use a strap.
Ski and snowboard clothing: the three layers and their materials
The three-layer system explained, what each material does — Gore-Tex, merino, PrimaLoft, Cordura — and how to read the water column rating on a jacket.
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.
How to choose sun protection for skiing and snowboarding
Why snow multiplies UV radiation, which SPF to use and how much you actually need to apply so you don't burn on the mountain.
