Main information
What to expect
This introductory snowboard course is perfect for children aged 8 to 16 who want to try snowboarding without committing to a longer course. The course takes place in the ski resort of Grächen, a charming location known for its family-friendly atmosphere and excellent facilities. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, the resort offers a safe and fun environment where young snowboard beginners can feel comfortable.
During this two-hour course, children will experience action-packed hours on the board. The course begins with a playful and child-friendly introduction to the basics of snowboarding. Participants will get to know their equipment and perform their first sliding exercises. Our experienced snowboard instructors provide individual attention to each child, thanks to the small group size of a maximum of 8 participants. This setup ensures safe learning and allows the instructors to give each child the attention they need.
