Snow Garden and Sledging at Cerler

Cerler has two snow gardens so the smallest children can have their first contact with snow while the older ones ski, plus a sledging area with games and chairlift rides for those who do not ski. The 2026-27 season starts, according to Aramón, on Friday 27 November.

The two gardens

• Jardín de Nieve Ampriu, run by Cerler Aramón, for ages 1 to 6. It combines an indoor facility adapted for little ones with a supervised outdoor area for playing in the snow, a magic carpet and its own slope for first runs on sledges or skis. Children's ski equipment is included, and lunch if you book the full day. Full day with lunch from 9:00 to 17:00, morning from 9:00 to 13:00 (for both, arrival until 10:30) and afternoon from 13:00 to 17:00. Bookings on 974 551 047 or at [email protected].
• Jardín de Nieve El Molino, run by the Escuela de Esquí de Cerler, for ages 2 to 6. Full day with lunch from 9:00 to 16:00, morning from 9:00 to 13:30 and afternoon, with optional lunch, from 13:00 to 16:30. Bookings on 974 551 553 or at [email protected].

The website does not publish the garden prices: they are given when you book. Places are limited and it is best to book ahead.

What a day at Ampriu is like

Children go out into the snow once they have turned 3, from 10:30 and for about an hour: games, snowmen, first runs on the magic carpet. Under-3s stay inside, with their routine of play, lunch and a nap, and 1-year-olds can only stay for half a day. Everything they eat is provided by the garden and outside food is not accepted; they must arrive having had breakfast. To go out in the snow they wear a snowsuit, gloves, goggles, a hat or helmet, sun cream already applied and a change of clothes; boots and skis are fitted by the staff. The garden and the ski school are different companies: if you book lessons, you take the child to them and collect them.

Sledges and chairlift for non-skiers

Ampriu Park is a play area with a sledging slope and its own magic carpet; the sledge is lent to you. There is a carousel, snowball throwing and a bar with a terrace. It is open Wednesday to Sunday from 26 December 2026 to 4 April 2027. The pack adds a ride on the Batisielles chairlift up to 2,200 m, with views of the Aneto and the Posets, and loan of snowshoes for a waymarked 3 km circuit across the Llano de Ampriu. Children up to age 5 go in free with an adult. You cannot enter in ski boots or with your own sledge.

In the Cota 2000 sector are the beginners' magic carpets, some reserved for children. For any questions, Aramón's booking centre is on 974 498 282.

Combine it with a day at the Cerler resort or an afternoon in the centre of Benasque.
