Information For Families & Children
If you're going to Arinsal with children then this essential information will help you to make the most of your holiday. There are lots of different options to choose from, with Arinsal catering for all ages encouraging people to get onto the snow from an early age!
For both Baby Club and Snow Park, hours are flexible, and can be matched up to ski and snowboard group lessons. Some tour operators allow you to pre-book spaces when you reserve your holiday, otherwise head there first thing when you arrive in
order to book in as places are first-come first-served. The building is located at the bottom of the nursery slopes. When you get off either the top of the gondola or chair lift from the Crest Hotel, turn right and head along the flat area to
the building with the spotted roof! Their telephone number is 00 376 737032.
Baby Club (Ages 1-4 years)
This in an indoor facility for young children with experienced staff to look after them. Activites include playing with toys, painting, story telling and videos.
Snow Garden (Ages 4-8 years)
With the emphasis on fun, the Snow Garden in Arinsal is just outside the Baby Club. Children need to have skis and boots to join in at the Snow Park where special instructors will help them to learn the basics in a purpose built environment for kids. Children can build snowmen and enjoy their time outside but also go inside if they decide they have had enough or get cold.
Ski School (Ages 6-12 years)
When children are old enough they can join group ski lessons and will be put into groups with children of a similar age. The experienced instructors help children to develop their skills and techniques whilst having as much fun as possible!
Snowboard School (Ages 10-12 years)
Group snowboard lessons are available once children get a bit bigger and are able to use their weight and balance to control a snowboard. If younger children want to snowboard, a special enquiry must be made to the school however it is most
probable that they would recommend private lessons if you were to insist on a younger child learning to snowboard.
