Arinsal Ski School

Group Lessons vs Private Lessons

In Arinsal, you have two choices for lessons with pros and cons to both. Private lessons are more expensive, however you get all the attention of the instructor. Group lessons are cheaper for the package, but you share the instructor with the group.  If you take group lessons, at the beginning of the week you will be split into groups according to your ability.

You can also combine the two if you are coming as a group. You can book an instructor just to look after your group for the whole week which means you get to ski or snowboard with all your friends, as well as have an instructor dedicated to your needs!

So when you come to Arinsal, the decision of whether to take private or group lessons is down to you and your personal circumstances.

N.B Over Christmas and New Year, group lessons have varied start days.  Please check our online shop for availability.

Group Lessons (11 or 15 Hours)

If you're only skiing for a few days, or if you would prefer flexibility to explore Vallnord away from lessons you can choose to join the group lessons but drop out after three or four days.  You'll still start on Monday, but these shorter durations are only for afternoon groups.

If you decide to extend and add one or two days extra once you're in Arinsal, the you can pay a supplement directly at the ski school, however please note that the total price will be more expensive than booking the full five-day course in advance.

Alternatively you can book through our enquiry form below.  To make your reservation you need to send a message, at least 10 days before you want lessons, using the contact form stating how many people will be with each instructor and how many hours you want on which dates. When you send your enquiry ski school ask for your preferred start time however please note that you are not guaranteed to get your preferred time.

So that you get the most benefit from having a private instructor it is not recommended that adults and children share the same lesson. This is because adults and children have different learning styles and progress at different speeds. We therefore suggest you take separate instructors, however if you insist then it is possible, however please make this clear when you send your enquiry.
