Ski School & Snowboard School

Both the El Tarter and Soldeu ski schools are renowned for the excellent level of tuition they provide, from absolute beginner right through to advanced level.  Both schools offer a variety of expert tuition including group lessons, private lessons, adaptive lessons and specialised workshops.

The Soldeu and El Tarter ski schools are run by Grandvalira, who operate all the ski and snowboard schools in the valley. In Soldeu and El Tarter they are very lucky to have not only English speaking instructors but lots of instructors originating from the UK, which makes communication during lessons much easier for British and Irish visitors. Andorra in general has quickly become renowned as a leading destination for ski and snowboard instruction and Soldeu is no exception; it has some fantastic instructors qualified to the highest level, with a huge amount of experience and knowledge to help you improve.

The Soldeu ski school office can be found at the top of the Soldeu gondola, just over to the right as you step onto the slopes, and the El Tarter ski school office is located at the top of the El Tarter gondola, again just on the right hand side.

Information About the Schools in Soldeu & El Tarter

There are four ability levels for skiers and snowboarders, and you should try to grade yourself before you go to your first lesson as when you check in at the ski school office you need to go to the appropriate window. Don't worry if you're not 100% sure as the instructors will make sure you get into a suitable group once the lessons start. Each of the four categories will be broken down into further levels at the beginning of the week so you will be in a group with people of a similar ability.

  • Beginners: Never skied/snowboarded before
  • Level 1 (Green/Blue): Able to turn right & left and use a drag lift
  • Level 2 (Blue/Red): Confident on all blue runs
  • Level 3 (Red/Black): Able to ski/board red runs with confidence and control

Separate classes are arranged for children. If you have children you should check in at the family window so that you are all assigned to the same lesson times.

When you join group ski school in Soldeu or El Tarter you get the opportunity to enter a race at the end of the week! For a small fee you get entry into a timed race and a fantastic souvenir photograph and lanyard, plus if you win your category you receive a winners medal to take home with you!

As with ski school groups, snowboard levels are split down further than these three groupings on the first day, so that all levels including more advanced snowboarders, are catered for.
