Children’s ski school in Grau Roig (formerly Imaginarium)

If you are looking for a children’s ski school in Grau Roig, this Grandvalira sector is one of the most complete for families. For years, the area’s children’s programme was known as Imaginarium. That name no longer appears in Grandvalira’s current programme: today it goes by Kids Program, Snow Garden, Kids Forest and Màgic Ski. The idea remains the same: learning to ski through play, with instructors and children’s characters.

What Grau Roig offers children today

Choose according to age and how you want them to spend the day. All school services, including the nursery, require a valid lift pass, and equipment is arranged separately.

Nursery, ages 1 to 3

Within Grandvalira, Grau Roig is the only sector with a nursery. It opens every day from 9:30 to 16:30 and is booked online. There are no ski lessons and meals are not included, so please bring whatever your child needs, plus a change of clothes and nappies.

Snow Garden, ages 3 to 5

This is a child’s first introduction to skis: getting used to the snow or basic lessons on closed circuits, for 1 to 5 days. Grandvalira offers it in all its sectors. Its page says ages 3 to 5 in one section and 3 to 6 in another, so check the group if your child is 5 or 6.

Kids Program, ages 3 to 11

This is the closest equivalent to the old Imaginarium programme, because it combines lessons, snow activities and lunch. According to Grandvalira, ages 3 to 6 get 2 hours of lessons in the snow garden and 1 hour of introduction to the snow; ages 6 to 11 get 3 hours of lessons. It is sold for 1 to 5 consecutive days, and can begin on any day. Ask for the exact Grau Roig timetable when you book.

Group lessons, ages 6 to 11

If your child only needs the lesson, there are ski and snowboard groups by level, for 1 to 5 days. In Grau Roig, multi-day courses start on Mondays.

Màgic Ski: season school, ages 3 to 16

If you come for several weekends, the Màgic Ski school has its base in Grau Roig. For 2026-27 there are Baby, Mini, Kids and Junior groups, along with a Christmas course and one for parents. Registration is open until 8 December 2026 and places are limited.

Kids Forest: the circuit for playing in the snow

This is what children remember most. Visit Andorra describes the Grau Roig Kids Forest as the largest and most complete of the three circuits of this type in Grandvalira, and the only one with a beginners’ slope. There is an obstacle course with fantasy decoration and a children’s area with mini snowmobiles, a snow-tubing slide, a zip line and jumps.

Levels are marked by characters: Mona the marmot for those just starting, Bo the capercaillie for those gaining confidence, Vulpi the fox for intermediate level and Nae the chamois for the most accomplished. Grandvalira presents the circuits as free and open to skiers up to the age of 12.

Tips for the first day

What to bring

The school does not lend equipment on the slopes. For the Kids Program, each child needs a helmet, skis, boots, sunglasses or goggles, gloves and a hat, and it is worth adding a change of clothes and walking boots. Poles are not needed. Equipment hire and lift passes are arranged separately.

Which lift pass works

For the Kids Program you can use a day pass, a multi-day pass, the Andorra Pass season ticket or Plus+. Pedestrian, beginner and Mountain Pass tickets are not accepted. You can compare options in our guide to lift pass prices.

When to book

The school may decline a child who does not meet the group’s age requirement, and activities depend on the weather. At Christmas and Easter, book well ahead. For questions and registration, you can reach Grandvalira on +376 891 810 from Andorra or +34 931 770 586 from Spain.

How to fit it into your stay

Ask our team when you book, on +376 75 55 56 or at info@hotelgrauroig.com, and we will help you fit the course into the days of your stay. The hotel, listed in the MICHELIN Guide, is right on the slopes, ten metres from the lifts.

During the ski season, its Kids Club runs from 14:00 to 22:00, with painting, magic, films and games, included in your stay. Children thus have activities of their own after the snow, and you can make the most of the Grau Roig slopes or try other snow activities.
