Am arriving in Canillo on Feb 13th with Husband and 5 children and a friend and her two kids. Ages between 6 and 17. No one has any ski experience and any advise on where to hire and book lessons and ski%26#39;s and boots would help.
Staying at the Ski Plaza hotel. Have no idea how convenient on inconvenient this may be. Did hear that it would be cheaper to wait until we get there to book. Should we join ski classes or get a private instructor. Maybe one for the adults and one for the kids.. all advise appreciated.

Hi Maureen,
We recently skiied in Encamp in Andorra, classes one on one cost €42 per hour. If there are several children I think you should book a private instructor. We did this on the day and arranged another lesson for the following day. If you havn%26#39;t skiied before you will need three morning%26#39;s skiing lessons, therefore approximately 9 hours per person, one instructor for adults and one for the kids. You can mess around yourself in the afternoon.
There are plenty of places to hire the ski boots and skis, we hired ours in Encamp and it worked out at €40 per head for 4 days. If you hire day by day it is more expensive. There are better beginner slopes in Pas de la Cassa and Soldiou. Start exercising now by walking or doing anythin that will build up the strength in your legs as otherwise your legs will feel like in jelly in days 3 and 4!!!
There is good shopping and a wide selection of restaurants in Pas de la Cassa.
Hope this helps,
