A Qualified Team With More Than 24 Years in Baqueira

We choose our instructors not only for their official qualification (TD1, TD2 and TD3) but for their enthusiasm, dedication and commitment to teaching that is personal and safe. Their deep knowledge of the resort — its runs, aspects and snow conditions — makes lessons effective, enjoyable and free of surprises.

Visible Improvement From the First Lesson

Our method is built so you notice a real improvement and gain confidence from the first day. Whether you are starting from scratch or refining your technique on black runs, every session is designed so you leave the slope better than you arrived — guaranteed.

Completely Personal Attention: Private Lessons Built Around Your Level

Every skier is different. We adapt both private children's lessons and small adult groups to your goals, your pace and your style. Never slower than you can go, never faster than is safe.

Instructors Who Specialise in Children and Beginners

Young children and first-timers need a particular kind of teaching. Our instructors who specialise in children understand their rhythms, turn learning into play, and build the confidence that makes a child want to come back to the snow. The result: families who return to us year after year.

Lessons for Every Age and Level: From Age 3 to Expert

From the youngest taking their first steps at 3, to advanced skiers after freeride technique or refined carving. We have the lesson you need, shaped around you.

Advanced Analysis: Video and the Carv App

We use video analysis for precise corrections in real time, and we were the first in Baqueira to use the Carv app for biomechanical ski analysis. Metrics for weight distribution, edge angle, progression — the most complete feedback available.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Ski Lessons in Baqueira

Not sure of your level? How do I choose the right lesson?

Don't worry — our team will help. Message us on WhatsApp (+34 669 911 342), tell us your previous experience or send a video of your last time on the slopes. With that we will recommend the right lesson so every minute counts from the start.

How much do ski lessons in Baqueira cost?

Our rates come from an annual market review that keeps us competitive at a premium standard. Afternoon lessons are €7.50/hour less, and full-day packages work out better per hour. See the full rates here.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel at no cost if you tell us at least 24 hours in advance. If lessons cannot go ahead because the resort closes completely or for weather safety reasons, we refund you or find an alternative. Read the full policy here.

Are helmets compulsory for skiing in Baqueira, or in your lessons?

Although not required by law for adults, we strongly recommend one for everybody. For children we require it, and recommend a back protector as well. In freestyle and freeride lessons a helmet is compulsory. Safety on the snow is our first priority.

How far in advance should I book in high season?

At Christmas, Easter and on long weekends, places fill one to two weeks ahead. Book as early as you can to secure your instructor, time and lesson type. The easiest way is by WhatsApp or through the booking form.
