The instructors

Mountain professionals. Some have already won it.

Xema Aurell, founder of the school, is a two-time Catalonia champion. Zapico wins on the Freeride World Tour and coaches students who compete at Junior level. The team is hand-picked, one by one, so that your lesson is given by someone who knows Baqueira like home.

We have instructors who specialise in skiing and instructors who specialise in snowboarding.
