Its own ski and snowboard school, with private lessons for up to five students every day, 2×1 lessons first and last thing and freestyle lessons. Hire in the Cerradillas building, at the base: skis, snowboards, ski touring equipment and snowshoes. On days with more than 11 skiable km it sells, online only, a bus package from Madrid with a day lift pass.
