From Naut Aran, for the love of the mountains

Eth Sànglier was founded by Xema and his brother, both born in Naut Aran, with a simple wish: to share with others the mountain they grew up in. From that came this family of people passionate about nature, fun and sport, with one clear idea: that every lesson should be a unique, unforgettable experience.

“I founded Eth Sanglier Ski School with one clear idea: to teach real skiing, with technique, safety and knowing every corner of Baqueira the way only a local can.”

Eth sanglièr means “the wild boar” in Aranese — an animal of the valley's forests, stubborn and sure-footed on its own ground. We took its name because that's how we want you to feel in the snow: at home, confident, on familiar mountain.

A small school, on purpose

We are a small, hand-picked team. That's the difference and we look after it: you get to know your instructor, there's a close relationship with students and families, and we adapt to each person's age and needs. For the little ones, we want learning to ski to become a lovely memory; for adults, we want the progress to show every day.

Five languages on the same mountain

We teach in Spanish, Catalan, Aranese, English and French. In a border valley with so many international visitors, being able to teach in your language isn't an extra: it's part of making the lesson work from the very first minute.

From the first day in a snowplough to freeride

We teach skiing and snowboarding at every level, from people who have never had skis on to those looking to go off-piste. Freeride and off-piste are among our specialities: untouched snow with someone who knows the valley by heart, and with the necessary safety equipment.

One valley, one resort

Eth Sànglier was born in Naut Aran, the Val d'Aran municipality where Baqueira Beret is located, and teaches at the resort. To discover the valley, Visit Val d'Aran is the place to start; and if you love freeride, Baqueira Beret has hosted the Freeride World Tour, the circuit where Zapico competes. The resort and the valley's institutions deserve a mention: they are the ones who keep this mountain alive.
