Escola d'Esquí La Molina

The Escola d'Esquí La Molina has given lessons at the resort since 1961 and presents itself as the school with the longest tradition at La Molina. It teaches alpine skiing, snowboarding, telemark and freestyle, and has its own snow area for beginners and a children's park for the youngest.

Who they are

Its base is at the foot of the resort's main beginners' slope. The school speaks of a team of about fifty qualified instructors and is registered with the Consell Català de l'Esport and approved by the La Molina resort. It belongs to the Association of Schools, Teachers and Coaches of Winter Sports (AEPEDI), the ISIA, the international association of ski instructors, and the Associació d'Escoles d'Esquí Catalanes. In its job adverts it asks for sports technicians TD1, TD2 or TD3, or in training. The website does not give the names of the management.

What it offers

Private lessons by the hour or by season, group courses of three to five days, a morning base school for children who ski all season, sessions for schools and groups and group lessons in the snowpark. For the youngest there are two spaces. The snow park is a fenced area only for the school's pupils, from age 4, at the foot of the Pista Llarga, with a conveyor belt, toilets, a picnic area and a refuge. The children's park is a covered, supervised space that looks after children from 6 months; it is not booked beforehand: you ask at the same hut, depending on the places the carers have, and there is a dining area if you bring food from home.

Prices for the 2026-27 season

Group ski courses cost €124 for three days, €162 for four and €195 for five. A one-hour private lesson for one person ranges from €54 to €62, depending on season and time slot: the hours from 10:00 to 14:00 are the most expensive. The children's park charges €19 for the first hour and €16 for the following ones, or €99 for the day. The school also hires equipment: the adult ski pack, with skis, boots and helmet, costs €17 during the lesson, and the snowboard one, €19. The lift pass is separate.
