Ski and snowboard school at Baqueira Beret with meeting points at Baqueira 1800, Beret and Bonaigua; also cross-country, telemark, adapted lessons and snowshoeing.

Era Escòla is one of the schools working at Baqueira Beret. It gives lessons in alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country and telemark, adapted lessons and snowshoe excursions, and organises the Ski Camp for children and young people from age 4, from €365. It has meeting points in the three areas of the resort: Baqueira 1800, Beret and Bonaigua.

## Who they are

The school was born in the 1964-65 season, when a group of Aranese people created the association that is now Era Escòla. The first team was made up of five instructors from the valley, some former Olympians, under the direction of Luis Arias, who also ran the resort. Since then it has grown with the resort: snowboarding arrived in the early nineties, with its own school since 1994, and then telemark; in 1999-2000 it opened its Baqueira 1800 building, in 2003-04 it launched the Ski Camp and in 2005-06 it opened the centre at the Bonaigua pass, by agreement with the residents of Les Valls d'Àneu. It remains an association, the Associació Esportiva Escola Esquí Era Val d'Aran 1981, based in the Ruda arcade, which brings together more than two hundred self-employed qualified instructors; the snowboard school has twenty-five. Its current president is Jordi Arribas.

## Lessons and meeting points

Group ski courses are given by level, from A to D. The weekend one is six hours over two days, for €150: in Baqueira, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00, in front of the Era Escòla 1800 building; in Beret, Saturday from 12:00 to 15:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00, in front of the Beret 1850 building. Weekly courses are four or five days, Monday to Friday, three hours a day, from €245 depending on the week, and finish with a race among the students. At least four students per group are needed; if it is not reached in Beret, the course moves to Baqueira. Cross-country skiing is taught on the Beret circuit, in classic and skating technique, and there are excursions to Montgarri. Private and adapted lessons are booked to suit.

## How to book and cancel

Lessons are booked on their website, online; the price of private ones appears when you choose day, hours and number of students. Hire is handled by its Ski Service shop, in the Ruda arcades in Baqueira 1500. Changes or cancellations are only accepted with 72 hours' notice before the first lesson, and refunds are limited to justified force majeure, with charges. Bad weather alone does not cancel a lesson; the school does suspend it if there is danger. If the resort closes, unused tickets are taken to the office and the date is changed. The school has civil liability insurance. The website is in Spanish, Catalan, French and English, but does not detail in which languages the lessons are given.
