Identify Your Ski Level
Level 1 – Beginner Skier
You’re new to skiing or learning basic snowplough turns on gentle green runs.
Level 2 – Low Intermediate Skier
You can control your turns on steeper greens or easy reds, making skiddy parallel turns at a steady speed.
Level 3 – Intermediate Skier
You ski confidently on red runs with good parallel turns, manage your speed and direction, and are ready for easy black or off-piste terrain.
Level 4 – High Intermediate Skier
You handle all reds and some black runs comfortably. You’re eager to try steeper slopes, small bumps, and easy ungroomed terrain.
Level 5 – Advanced Skier
You ski all pistes and off-piste terrain with parallel turns and solid control but may still find very steep or deep snow challenging.
Our private ski and snowboard lessons in Madarao Tangram are designed to be flexible, convenient, and completely tailored to your schedule and goals. Whether you’re an early riser eager to catch the first lift or prefer a relaxed start, our instructors will meet you anywhere in Madarao or Tangram, at the time that suits you best.

Please bring your lift pass, ski or snowboard equipment, warm, waterproof clothing, gloves, and goggles. Don’t forget sunscreen and a positive attitude!
Yes! Our instructors are experienced with kids, families and school groups. We adjust the pace and teaching style to make learning safe, fun, and encouraging for young skiers and snowboarders.
Lessons run in most weather conditions. In the case of extreme weather or lift closures, we’ll do our best to reschedule or modify your session to ensure a great experience.
You can book directly through La Colina Outdoor by contacting us via our website or email. We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak season (late December to February).
It depends. We will start at the magic carpet (free), and the instructor will determine whether you can move to take a lift. At the begining is not necessary to purchase a Madarao All Mountain Pass, and an area pass for Madarao or Tangram is enough (and cheaper)
Yes, you can join the same private lesson, but for the best learning experience, we recommend that all participants have similar ability levels. When levels vary significantly, our instructor will adapt the session to focus on shared goals, but please note that progress may be slower for some participants.
If your group includes both beginners and advanced riders, we suggest splitting into separate sessions or booking multiple instructors so everyone gets the most out of their time on the mountain.
Once the lesson has started, we’re unable to provide a refund for early termination or unused time. However, if you need to cancel or reschedule before the lesson begins, please contact us as soon as possible — we’ll do our best to accommodate changes according to our cancellation policy and instructor availability.
If you must stop due to injury, illness, or severe weather, we will review each case individually and may offer a partial refund or credit toward a future lesson, depending on the circumstances.
Yes, same-day bookings may be possible, but availability can be very limited, especially during weekends and peak season. We recommend booking in advance whenever possible to ensure we can match you with the right instructor and start time.
