Candanchu Esquí is the ski school in the Candanchú resort, located in the Aragonese Pyrenees. It is one of the most experienced schools in the country, since it has been operating for more than 50 years. They have a team of more than 100 teachers who teach more than 30,000 students a year.
Classes can be booked individually or collectively:
- Individual classes: Individual classes are those given to groups of less than 6 people. In these classes, students tend to progress much more quickly since they have practically the teacher's full attention at all times. They can be hired by the hour or by the day, even being able to incorporate the pick-up service by the teacher in the student's accommodation.
- Group classes: Group classes are those given to groups of more than 6 people. It is a very fun way to meet people with the same level of skiing. Being accompanied also helps to progress and improve the level since you can look at what your teammates do well and badly and thus correct your own defects.
The courses are for all types of skiing: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing or telemark.
