This increase can also be attributed not only to the fact that surfing is a lifestyle in the coastal areas of the country, but also to the many exciting surfing destinations.

The term ski derives from the Old Norse word skíð , meaning 'piece of wood', so much so that the sport's Nordic origins are demonstrated by the fact that the first documented alpine ski race took place in Sweden in 1879. .
Skiing is, for many, one of the greatest pleasures in life. A pleasure that allows you to find yourself and enjoy yourself as very few other forms of life allow.
The sport is a tradition and a way of life in Europe, so much that in some European countries as much as a quarter of its populations, (25%), know how to handle themselves on skis or snowboards. Spain is not an exception given its orography, (2nd highest mean altitude in Europe, second only to Austria), and the exceptional conditions provided by its unique skiing resorts.
At SI we bring you the opportunity to get started in this wonderful sport, or to improve your level of skiing/ snowboarding , while improving your level of Spanish.
During the winter months, (December and January), we offer an opportunity to unleash your skiing passion in some of the best resorts in Europe with various program options to choose from based on your goals:
