Main information
What to expect
These snowboarding lessons offer children aged between 8 and 16 the chance to learn or improve their snowboarding skills on the slopes of Grächen! Nestled in the Swiss Alps, the Grächen ski area is renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere and breathtaking alpine views. With well-maintained slopes and modern facilities, it provides the perfect setting for young snowboarders to learn, enhance their technique, and have lots of fun. This course is suitable for beginners or intermediate snowboarders. We recommend a private course for higher levels.
The course begins with group division by age and level to ensure each child receives appropriate attention. For beginners, the lesson starts with the basics - safe standing and falling, getting accustomed to the board, and the first sliding exercises. These fundamental skills are crucial for building confidence. Small groups of up to 8 participants ensure individual attention, allowing each child to progress at their own pace under the guidance of our friendly instructors. Once the children become more confident, they learn the first turns, an essential skill for navigating the slopes. Throughout the course, our friendly snowboard instructors ensure safety and fun, adapting their teaching to the age and skill level of the children.
Race and rewards
A race takes place on Friday, followed by an award ceremony. The race is included for all participants up to the level of Blue Prince/Princess.
Participants at higher levels have the option to participate in a race on Thursday for an additional fee.
