Frequently asked questions
What is the best age to start skiing?
At Pal Arinsal, we recommend starting to ski from the age of 3, which is the minimum age to access the Snow Garden and beginner lessons. At this age, children start to get familiar with snow, ski gear, and basic movements in a safe and adapted environment.
When can young children start learning to ski?
Children can start skiing from 3 years old, with programs that combine play and learning. In the Snow Garden, kids aged 3 to 5 enjoy a progressive introduction to skiing, guided by certified instructors in specially designed spaces.
How long does it take for a child to learn to ski?
Every child learns at their own pace, but with group lessons lasting 2 to 5 days and the support of our instructors, many children can already ski with basic control after just a few days. The key is having fun and gaining confidence step by step.
What does a child need to go skiing?
To take part in ski lessons, children need:
- A valid ski pass for the booked days
- Ski equipment: skis, boots, and helmet (not included)
