These snowboarding lessons for kids and adults at the picturesque Grossglockner/Heiligenblut ski resort are perfect for first-timers of all ages eager to experience the thrill of snowboarding amidst breathtaking alpine scenery. With the 3,798-meter Grossglockner, Austria's tallest mountain, as a stunning backdrop, the resort offers 55 kilometers of slopes, including areas tailored for learning. Gentle, beginner-friendly zones provide the ideal environment to start your snowboarding journey in a safe and supportive setting.
On the first day, participants are grouped by age and experience, with no more than 12 people per group to ensure personalized guidance.

Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
