FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about ski trips


I am a total beginner. Can I join a Barcelona Ski Tour ?

No. We are very sorry. We do not offer tours to total beginners and we do not rent ski wear. If you would like to experience the joy of being in the snow and the beauty of the snow covered Pyrenees mountains in winter then why not book our B9 Pyrenees Mountains Andorra Day Tour

Skiing or snowboarding is a sport not an experience like tandem parachute jumps or rafting, which you can try without prior experience. Skiing requieres a lot of ski clothes which cannot be rented and beginners must take at least 2 hours of ski classes. For 1 day ski tours this is a big expense and for that reason we have chosen only to offer our ski tours to skiers or snowboarders who are at an intermediate or advanced level of skiing and who have their own ski wear.

All ages can participate in principle if you are have a reasonable level of fitness as skiing is quite physically demanding and you have to carry your own skiis at times while wearing thick ski wear and wearing heavy ski boots. If you are not sure about your fitness level then please contact us for advice.


Do you offer multiple day ski tours?

No. Sorry, we do not offer 2 or 3 day ski tours from Barcelona with hotels. We do not offer hotel bookings to ski resorts near Barcelona. We only offer 1 day ski tours that start and finish in Barcelona on the same day. We do not offer multiple ski day tours and we do not offer transfers from the airport to Andorra.

What ski clothes do I need for Barcelona day ski tour?

You will need a waterproof ski-jacket, ski-gloves, ski trousers, ski-socks, ski-cap, sun-glasses and a scarf. For inner wear you can wear long underwear if it is really cold, but generally this is not necessary. Usually you should not need ski-goggles, because we only go when it is not snowing, so normal sun-glasses should be fine. You can buy extra clothing items at the ski rental shop, or in all major sports shops in Barcelona.
