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.
On the first day, we meet 15 minutes before the start of the lesson.
A lift ticket is necessary to reach the meeting point. Please be aware that you need a ski pass to take your kid to the meeting point. For people who accompany their children to lessons, the cable cars offer single rides.

Booking confirmation

You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson.

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.
