Grandvalira as part of its consistent focus on innovation and offering the best of services, presents its new school concept, the Ski & Mountain Academy in the Encamp / Peretol / Grau Roig / Pas de la Casa sectors and the Ski & Snowboard School in the Canillo / El Tarter / Soldeu sectors. In the 6 centres they have + 700 instructors who share their expertise in the world of snow and mountains, as well as their skiing knowledge.


Grandvalira lesson meeting points are all at the bottom of the slopes, close to the main gondola and chairlifts.

Beginner tip: You'll meet your group at the bottom of the Els Pioners gondola, where the ski school will organise everyone into levels. Once you're assigned to a group, your instructor will take you up on the Els Pioners 10-seater gondola to the Abelletes beginner area. That's where most beginner lessons actually start, so don't worry if you're meeting at the bottom but learning happens further up.
