What to Expect
Give your child aged 7 to 16 an unforgettable snowboarding experience with our small-group lessons in Alpendorf, led by experienced and certified instructors. Nestled right next to the slope in the heart of the Alpendorf ski area – St. Johann im Pongau, this picturesque resort offers a perfect setting for young snowboarders to learn and grow. With a variety of slopes and modern facilities, Alpendorf is renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere and stunning alpine views.
The lesson begins with a warm welcome from our certified children’s snowboard instructors, who take the time to assess each participant’s skill level. This ensures a tailored experience that meets the needs of every child. Our small groups of a maximum of 6 participants allow for individual attention, making sure your child feels supported and confident on the snow. The first part of the lesson focuses on basic skills such as balance and control, which are crucial for safe snowboarding. Our instructors make these fundamental skills engaging and accessible, laying a solid foundation for more advanced techniques.
As the lesson progresses over approximately 2 hours, your child will venture onto the beginner-friendly slopes of Alpendorf. Here, they will learn to execute their first turns and become comfortable with their equipment. The focus then shifts to refining their technique, with a special emphasis on parallel skiing and tackling steeper slopes. Our instructors are committed to providing continuous support, ensuring a positive and memorable learning experience. With our promise of individual support from consultation to course completion, your child’s snowboarding journey is in expert hands.
