Learn to Ski in Soldeu
Across Grandvalira there are now 450 instructors working in its six centres – Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig, Soldeu, El Tarter, Canillo and Encamp – so you’ll have no problem finding ski instructors or ski guides who speak the three official languages of Andorra (French, Spanish and Catalan) plus English of course.
Ski Schools in Soldeu & Grandvalira
Ski Schools in Grandvalira are known as “Escola D’Esqui i Snowboard” and the ski schools in Soldeu and across Grandvalira operate from Monday to Friday.
The meeting place for the Soldeu ski school is at the top of the two Soldeu lifts (TSD6 and TC8) in the area known as Pla Espiolets.
There’s a non-ski kindergarten and crèche available for younger children and good ski tuition for 6-10-year-olds. Group lessons and private lessons are reasonably priced and are discounted by around 15% in the low season.
There are 5-day “Junior Ski” courses for small groups of 8-10 aimed at children and teenagers who have already attained a good ski standard but want to progress further including initiation in freestyle, slalom, bumps and off-piste skiing and boarding; and which includes the one-day Explore Grandvalira tour.
Expert skiers and snowboarders can sign up for a variety of themed courses: alpine skiing, telemark skiing lessons, elite ski, Nordic skiing and ski mountaineering with the opportunity to be tested to find out your ski level and video filming of some classes.
If you want an instructor to act as a guide to the slopes ask him or her directly or you can join the guided “Explore Grandvalira” tour on a Saturday from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm for groups of 6-9 people.
