Kids Snowboarding Lessons (6-12 y.) for Beginners - Saas Grund - Hohsaas

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.

These lessons are designed for beginner snowboarders between 6 and 12 years old.

The meeting point is at the assembly point of the ski school at Kreuzboden, at the top station of the Saas-Grund - Kreuzboden cable car.

On the first day, you should be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the lesson starts.

Your child will learn the basic skills of snowboarding, such as the correct stance, finding their balance and making their first turns. The lessons use the "Rider system", which includes video analysis to help them improve.

At the end of the course, each child receives a "Rider-Book" to track their progress.
