What to Expect
In our adult ski lessons for beginners in Grindelwald, it is particularly important to us to be able to respond to the needs and levels of each individual. Our experienced and trained ski instructors accompany you step by step until you feel safe and comfortable on the slopes.
Due to our small groups with a maximum number of 6 participants, it is even easier for our ski instructors to take care of you personally. In doing so, we can make the ski course for adults even more varied and with perfectly adapted exercises. In the Bodmi Arena, our beginners' slopes and a magic carpet are available for free use. So nothing can stand in the way of your first experiences on skis. Once the first experiences have been made, the somewhat steeper slopes at the drag lift are suitable for applying what has been learned.
As a beginner, you will start with the basic skiing exercises and learn how to ski in the plough or schussing. You also have to learn how to brake properly and use the lifts. You will master your first turns after a short time. The ski area offers around 64 kilometres of blue, easy pistes, so you have a wide choice of runs on which you can practise at your leisure. We look forward to welcoming you and to mastering your first turns together!
Meeting Time
We meet at the Bodmi Arena (Terrassenweg 104, 3818 Grindelwald) at 9:40 am
Ski Pass
The use of the magic carpet is already included in the lesson price. As soon as skiing on the drag lift starts, all participants need a ski pass for the Bodmi.

The lesson was excellent for my other half who was learning to ski. Unfortunately it was a 1.5hr wait to collect the ski's under the same booking and therefore only got a 2hr lesson instead of 3hr.
