Escola d'Esquí Masella

The Escola d'Esquí i Snowboard de Masella is the resort's own school, run by the same company that operates the resort, and works at the foot of the slopes, in the Pla de Masella, at 1,600 m, in the Girona Cerdanya. From the 2026-27 season its lessons are bought online from the private area of the Masella website.

The resort where they teach

Masella runs from 1,600 m at the Pla up to 2,535 m at La Tosa, with 74 km of skiable terrain, of which 53 have artificial snow, spread over 65 slopes: 9 green, 27 blue, 23 red and 6 black. It has 17 lifts, including four conveyor belts for beginners, and a night skiing area of 10 illuminated km.

What they teach and to whom

They give private alpine ski and snowboard lessons by the hour, three-hour group ski lessons for adults and children with a minimum of five students of the same level, and courses for children at Christmas, New Year and in blocks of four, six or eight Saturdays or Sundays from January to March. The ski courses are for ages 4 to 12, in groups of ten students at most, from 10:00 to 13:00 or from 13:30 to 16:30. Snowboarding is taught from age 7.

For the youngest there are two services that only open at weekends and on season public holidays. The Jardí de Neu, for children aged 3 to 6, is the first step in the snow; you must prove with ID that the child is already 3. The Caseta dels Nens is a sheltered nursery for children from 18 months to 3 years. The school recommends arriving early on the first day so they can settle in, explaining to them that they will learn by playing and marking all their equipment with their full name.
