Escola d'Esquí Vall de Boí

Who they are

The Escola d'Esquí Vall de Boí is the school based in the Boí Taüll resort itself, in the Pla de Vaques, high up in the Vall de Boí, in the Lleida Pyrenees. It presents itself as the resort's reference school and says it carries "high mountain in its DNA". Its website does not publish the year of foundation, the name of its director or the number of instructors; it speaks of a team of qualified instructors who teach thousands of pupils each season, and to work with them it requires the ski instructor qualification. The Vall de Boí tourist office includes it among its member businesses and marks it with the Family Tourism seal.

What they offer

Everything revolves around the snow and the winter season at Boí Taüll, a resort that runs from 2,020 to 2,751 m in altitude, with about 45 km of slopes. The school offers:

• Private lessons in skiing and snowboarding, with an instructor just for you or your family.
• Group lessons and courses for children and adults, organised by level.
• Telemark and adaptive skiing for people with disabilities, according to the valley tourist office's listing.
• School groups: snow weeks and snow trips for primary and secondary schools, which they manage with the agency Alpino Club.
• Lift pass and equipment hire for the day at the resort, bought by phone.
• Jardí de Neu, a play area where the youngest have their first contact with the snow while their parents ski, with a nursery service.

For anyone who wants to keep progressing, the school also has the Club d'Esquí Gerces, with training at weekends and on public holidays throughout the season and online registration for 2026-2027.

What they do not publish

The website does not give prices, course times, group size or minimum age, nor that of the Jardí de Neu. These details appear when you choose the day in the booking system or are requested by phone. Nor does it publish cancellation terms: ask before paying, especially if you go in high season or the snow report is doubtful. The meeting point for lessons is the resort, in the Pla de Vaques; confirm when you book where to meet your instructor.

How to book and languages

Book online from the school's website, which lets you prepay lessons, lift pass and hire so you avoid queues, or on 973 297 007 and 660 109 161. The general email is [email protected], and for the Jardí de Neu, [email protected]. The website is in Catalan and Spanish; it does not say whether lessons are given in other languages, so if you need English or French, ask beforehand. Other accredited schools also work at the resort, such as the one in Durro, Kione Snowboard and Guies de Taüll.
