Era Escòla

School premises: Baqueira 1800, Beret 1850 and Bonaigua 2072

Ski LessonsSnowboard Lessons

Era Escòla offers group and private ski and snowboard lessons, alongside Nordic, telemark and adaptive instruction. It has school premises at Baqueira 1800, Beret 1850 and Bonaigua 2072; choose the sector that fits your day's access when booking.

Why we like it

A useful choice for families or mixed abilities who want to compare lesson formats through one school. For resort-booked group lessons, the published meeting points are outside the Era Escòla building at Baqueira 1800 or Beret 1850, according to the sector on your reservation. Confirm the meeting point for your own lesson.

TUC Mountain Guides

Carrer Major 34, Salardú, Val d'Aran (business contact address)

This Salardú-based mountain-guide business advertises freeride outings at Baqueira-Beret and ski touring in the Val d'Aran. Contact the team with your skiing experience and the kind of terrain you want to explore; confirm upcoming winter availability before planning around a trip.

Why we like it

A named local contact for exploring beyond the pistes. Agree the route, required equipment and meeting point directly with the guide; the Salardú address is the business contact location, not a promised mountain departure point.
