Why Take Ski Or Snowboard LessonsIf you take lessons on your next winter holiday to Soldeu or El Tarter, or anywhere else for that matter, it will hopefully help you enjoy your winter holiday even more. These are just a few of the benefits . . .
Remember that lessons aren't just for first-timers! The most advanced snowboarders & skiers still have tuition and can always improve. Soldeu has some fantastic instructors who are qualified to the highest level, with a huge amount of experience and knowledge to help you improve. In addition there is a more advanced course available, known as a workshop, which is a smaller group and benefits from having video analysis of the lessons. Private Lessons vs Group Lessons
You have got two main choices for lessons in Soldeu & El Tarter having pros and cons for each. Private lessons are more expensive, but you get the full attention of your instructor.
The cheaper option is group lessons if you want a full week, but then you share your instructor with the rest of the group!!
If you're holidaying as a group, it might be an idea to combine the two by booking an instructor to look after just your party for the duration which means you get to snowboard or ski with all your friends, plus have an instructor dedicated to the needs of your group! So when you visit Soldeu, the decision of choosing to have group or private tuition is up to you. You can pre-book at our online shop saving you time, or if you wait until you arrive you can talk it over with your holiday rep or directly with the school, who will be able to discuss what the best option is for your group.

Information About The School In Soldeu & El TarterThere are four levels for skiers, and you should try to grade yourself before you go to your first lessons, 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.
Separate classes are arranged for children. If you have children you should check in at the families window so that you are all assigned to the same lesson times.
