These snowboard lessons for kids and adults in the beautiful Arlberg ski area are perfect for beginners who are new to snowboarding and eager to learn in a fun and secure environment. Designed to be both engaging and challenging, these lessons help participants master the basics of snowboarding while enjoying the camaraderie of groups of at least 5 participants. Through a combination of practical exercises and personalized guidance, first-time snowboarders will quickly gain confidence on the slopes, staying motivated and energized throughout their learning journey.
The lessons are held in practice areas equipped with top-quality learning tools, specifically tailored to different skill levels, as well as on gentle blue slopes ideal for beginners. Participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills progressively, ensuring a solid foundation in snowboarding techniques.
Guided by professional and supportive snowboard instructors, beginners will get comfortable with their equipment and start with essential techniques such as the correct use of their equipment properly, and how to find the proper, relaxed body position on a snowboard for balance and control to board more efficiently. All of this is taught in a safe and encouraging atmosphere.
We meet at the assembly point at the Galzigbahn in St. Anton (opposite the Gampen 4-seater chairlift), at the booked time.
We do not offer lunch care during the lunch break. However, the instructor will reserve a table, so the group can have lunch together. Please bring money if you want to buy lunch.

During our courses we are always wearing a helmet
I had a real good experience in a group training. Our instructor was Amelie from Denmark and I can only emphasise that you should protect this woman at all costs! She was an awesome instructor and managed to transition the majority of the group from haphazardly skittering down the „idiot“ slope, to confidently linking turns, while having fun and in a little less than 4 hours. The group experience I can also only recommend! With the right crowd, it’s a blast and I would always choose it over private lessons, because you need small breaks inbetween anyways.
Hasslefree easy to book quality lesson
Our instructor Amalie was absolutely excellent and spent many hours with us patiently teaching us how to snowboard. I would recommend anyone looking to learn to book this course. Thoroughly professional and also extremely kind.
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
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. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
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.
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
No, these lessons are specifically for first-timers. No prior experience is needed.
