In Grandvalira you will find different options for skiing with children. From snow gardens to nurseries or specific programmes, so that the little ones learn to ski while they have a great time. Once they get to know them, they’ll be asking you to ski more than ever.
Ski lessons for kids
Ski lessons and programmes are divided by age. In Grandvalira your children can learn to ski from 3 years old. The groups are made up of children from 3 to 6 years old and from 6 to 11 years old. The youngest children can combine the snow garden with the Kids Program. Older children can also combine the Kids Programme with group lessons where they go skiing on the slopes. Each programme is adapted to the age of the children.
Snow garden
Grandvalira has 6 ski schools for children from 3 to 6 years old where they can learn to ski or snowboard. They are located in the sectors of El Tarter, Soldeu, Grau Roig, Pas de la Casa, Canillo and Encamp.
The snow garden is designed to have a first contact with the snow or to receive basic ski lessons in closed circuits. In recent years, the resort has also integrated snowboarding into these courses. Depending on the snow garden, you can choose whether to ski for half a day or the whole day, an option that is available in El Tarter, Canillo and Soldeu.
Kids Program
This programme for children from 3 to 11 years old offers the opportunity to learn skiing techniques while having fun. The programmes can be from 1 to 5 days in which the ski course is combined with games and activities in the snow. In addition, the plan also includes lunch on the slopes. All the sectors of the resort (with the exception of El Peretol) have their Kids Program, and those of Encamp, Grau Roig and Pas de la Casa include snowboarding classes instead of skiing.
Group classes
Finally, there are ski or snowboard courses for youngsters aged 6 to 11. The classes are adapted to different levels and skiing is done on open slopes. They are more similar to the junior and adult classes, but adapted to children. In these classes they learn technique and improve coordination and balance. It is the first step before they can accompany you on your descents.
Nursery and kindergarten
And if you come with younger children, you can leave them in spaces adapted to their age accompanied by monitors. In the kindergartens in Canillo, Soldeu and El Tarter, children from 1 to 3 years of age will have fun with educational board games, ball pools or painting. Or you can also make use of the Grau Roig nursery specialising in children from 1 to 2 years old.
Meanwhile you can continue to enjoy your favourite winter sport.
