The courses in Font-Romeu are perfect to experience the joys of slipping. The ski area is ideally suited because it has many little slopes and therefore, simple access. The ESF (French Ski School) of Font-Romeu is located at 45 Avenue Emmanuel Brousse . This is the required passage to book one or more courses with famous ski instructors!
The "mono", easily recognizable to their vivid red combination, have been accompanying for decades small and large. They help the first to start, the second to perfection... or the other, sometimes! These graduate instructors are recognized experts. They offer several formulas adapted to the age, level or physical condition of the student.
Let's take class classes, for example. They are charged, for an hour of ski or snowboard lesson, 42€ . The ideal is to choose for six courses from 2h to 175€ . These sessions allow you to get the precious sesame: the famous flakes, barded or not of a star.
Private courses are also available: more expensive, they will necessarily be more effective as your instructor will only take care of his student. Nevertheless, it will cost you 225€ for six one hour courses. The ESF de Font-Romeu also offers Nordic skiing, handi-skiing, biathlon, freestyle skiing (on school holidays only) and even hiking.
In the case of toddlers, the nursery from 18 months to 3 years is open every day from 9am to 4pm. It allows parents to take advantage of the trails safely. Price? Count 25€ day or day 16€ for half a day. The club Piou-Piou, between 3 and 5 years old, is open every day from 9am to 5pm from 51€ Half day.
Rentals

The rental companies in Font-Romeu are quite practical. They allow skiers in villegiatures not to have to own a very often expensive material. They can be overwhelmed and managed by enthusiasts and offer modern slip matos in very good condition. To find out, visit avenue Emmanuel Brousse. It is the main artery of the city, which includes restaurants, bars and equipment rental agencies.
They usually open between 9am and 7pm. We advise you to order your equipment online or directly by phone in advance. Whether you need skis, a beautiful snowboard, boots or shoes, snowshoes, or a fatbike... You can rent everything or almost on site with ease. Your equipment will be available in the afternoon the day before your first day of skiing.
Perfectly disinfected after each customer, the ski boots are the most important element in a rental. Indeed, a badly adapted pair could - weigh our words - ruin your stay in the mountain. Therefore, think about it and try them well before validating the removal of the material from the seller!
For the rental rate, everything depends on the chosen agency and the sophistication of the desired material. Also, for the complete panoply including shoes, skis and sticks, it will cost you on average 15€ per day by child and 20€ by adult.
Our advice: take a helmet, which for only 3€ on average daily will prevent accidents. A deposit, in a variable amount, will be required by the “skiman”. You will only have to avoid trees, rocks and gravel to avoid paying it.
Come on, down the slopes!
