Child groups aged 5 to 10 years

Five-day ski course in Astún for children aged five to ten

This PirineoSur programme provides five days and ten hours of practical ski lessons for children aged five to ten. It takes place in Astún in groups of four to eight children. The advertised level is beginner skiing on piste, so previous skiing experience is not required.

Learning through practice and games

Lessons help children become familiar with skiing through exercises, games and group activities. Technical teaching is accompanied by attention to instructions and awareness of mountain safety. When enquiring, give each child’s age and explain whether they have already tried skiing so that the team understands their starting point.

Several teaching days offer opportunities to return to previous exercises and become used to the lesson routine. The programme focuses on ski teaching; the rest of your family stay needs to be organised separately.

The published programme schedules lessons from 10:00 to 12:00. The PirineoSur Ski and Mountain School meeting point is in Astún ski resort, Casa Astún 1, Unit 13. Confirm the teaching days, season and meeting location before attending. Specific dates are agreed when booking.
