Fantastic results learning from an excellent and highly experienced teacher
I spent three days snowboarding in La Tania with Mickael as my instructor, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This wasn’t my first time snowboarding, but I always considered myself a beginner and lacked confidence. Thanks to Mickael, I now feel like a true intermediate rider. Mickael is incredibly professional while also being so much fun to be around. His teaching style is clear, patient, and encouraging, and he made every lesson feel safe and enjoyable. His English is perfect, which meant we communicated effortlessly at all times, and he always made sure I understood exactly what I was doing and why. He is kind, sweet, social, and genuinely passionate about teaching. He adapted perfectly to my level, pushed me when I needed it, and reassured me when I felt unsure. By the end of our time together, my confidence on the board had grown so much — something I didn’t think was possible in just a few days. I felt safe, supported, and motivated throughout the entire experience. Mickael did his job absolutely perfectly, and I will 100% ask for him again as my instructor on my future trips to La Tania. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
Yes, private lessons are ideal for beginners. The one-on-one attention from the instructor helps you learn the basics in a safe environment and build confidence quickly.
Private lessons are fully customized to your needs and goals. The instructor provides personalized advice, allowing you to progress at your own pace and learn much faster than in a group setting.
Yes, up to 6 people with a similar skill level can participate in a private lesson. It is recommended not to mix adults and children under 10.
