If you want to start skiing and you don't know how to do it, the best way to get started is this: a group class with an instructor where you will learn the basic techniques of skiing as well as meeting new people with the same aspirations as you. Have fun and learn!

Itinerary

In this class you will learn all about the world of skiing and start to master the equipment. During the session, our instructors will explain all the parts of the ski and its properties, the correct way to put on your boots and how to keep your balance with your boots and skis on. As the lesson progresses, posture and speed control will begin to gain importance as the instructor teaches you the basic moves for beginners, such as the wedge. Once you have mastered this technical movement, the guide will introduce you to the wedge turn, giving you the sensation of gliding down a ski slope with safety and good body habits.
