KIDS LESSONS
An experience (and probably an addiction) for a lifetime. Your children are not only learning a new sport, they will also learn how to discover the outdoors in a safe way with a professional next to them all the time.
They will get skills, both as skiers and in mountain behavior, that they will bring with them for the rest of their lives.
If you have kids and want to set them up for skiing, this is what you can expect if you let them go with the Swedish Ski School: fun, safety, mountain knowledge and progress.
Note: We don’t do any lessons with children if they don’t wear a helmet (we strongly recommend everyone to use a helmet). If you book a lesson for several kids, please make sure they have approximately the same level.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In the family lessons it’s very likely that the members of the group have different levels, while in the group lessons everybody has a similar level.
We do prefer that you have similar skills/levels if you book a private group lesson. If not, the learning process is going to take a bit longer time and you are better off with a family lesson, even if you just are going with a few friends.
For the group lesson we have set a minimum of 2h, while the minimum length of a family lesson is 3h.
Yes, you do. Begginer slopes and moving carpets are located in Borreguiles area. To access that area and use lifts and carpets, you need to buy a lift pass.
If the ski lifts are closed you’ll get a full refund for you lesson. You will also get a refund for your lift pass from Cetursa. For that you need to go to the ticket windows located at “Plaza de Andalucia”.
Yes, there are two storage areas: one is located in Pradollano (behind the “Al-Andalus” gondola) and the other one is in Borreguiles (inside “Borreguiles” gondola gallery). Check prices and exact location here.
There are several options for families who travel with children:
- Pradollano Children’s Play Center (“El Cole de la nieve”): from 4 months to 6 years old.
- “Family Kids Club”: from 3 to 12 years old.
- “Children’s Alpine Garden”: from 3 to 5 years old.

It means that price is the same whether you are 3, 4, 5 or 6. It only depends on the number of hours you book.
It’s better if you are on a similar level to get out as much as possible of your lesson. If you not are on a similar level and still want to have class together we recommend you to book a family lesson instead. Even if you not are family.
We value our instructors as qualified professionals and we believe they do a fantastic job. Our prices are fixed and set to be able to offer them the salary we think they deserve
Our school offers a lift ticket (forfait) collection service.
To avoid possible queues at the ticket offices, we can organize the lift passes on your behalf. The tickets will be ready for collection at your arrival at “Deportes Jose Luis Sáez” rental store (located 40m from the main Gondola lift Al-Andalus).
Contact us if you need lift passes together with your lessons.
Prices shown are not per person, but for the whole group. The price of a group lesson is the same whether you are 3, 4, 5 or 6. It only depends on the number of hours you book.
Yes you can, but we need to know it 7 days in advance. Any cancelation made within 7 days of the first class date will result in a total loss of the deposit paid (50% reservation).
If the ski lifts are closed you’ll get a full refund for you lesson.
Except for the ski gear, skis and boots you child must wear a helmet. We don’t accept lesson with children without a helmet. We do strongly recommend EVERYONE to wear a helmet. Apart from that sunblock and sunglasses are absolutely necessary for everyone. The sun is extremely strong at this altitude in the snow and so far south.
No, you don’t have to. We will send you all necessary information by e-mail (our meeting point, your schedule, a voucher to rent your equipment…) In case we need something else we will contact you. If you have some questions you are always welcome to contact us of course.
Please don’t print your booking confirmation (our instructors have the schedule in advance). You can bring the confirmation e-mail on your phone, just to make sure that we not are messing anything up.
We recommend “Alquiler Esquís Jose Luis Sáez” (check location and contact details here). It’s a family run rental shop conveniently located in front of Sierra Nevada offices (40m from both cable cars). No need to pre-book.
Show our booking confirmation to receive a 20% discount off the equipment/clothes rental price. Young children will receive a helmet to use free of charge.
Note: though poles are included in the price, we do not recommend using them if you are a beginner.
