We meet 1 hour before the course starts at our ski school next to the Ettelsberg cable car (Zur Hoppecke 5, 34508 Willingen).
Our snowboard course in Willingen is aimed at anyone aged 10 and over who wants to learn to snowboard from scratch or has very little experience.
The course takes place on the Dorfwiese. Therefore, every participant must have a valid lift pass before the course begins – this is not included in the course price and must be purchased independently at the lift ticket office.
On the course, you’ll learn the correct posture, how to brake safely and how to make your first turns on the board. With our experienced snowboard instructors, you’ll make rapid progress and have loads of fun!
If you already have your equipment and lift pass, please report to the ski school 15 minutes before the course starts
If you haven’t collected your equipment yet, please arrive one hour before the course starts – we strongly recommend this, particularly during the school holidays.
Please bring a printed copy of your booking confirmation with you when you arrive.
We’ll meet at our ski school (Zur Hoppecke 5, 34508 Willingen, right next to the Ettelsberg cable car). The reception is on the right-hand side just past the entrance.
The lunch break lasts from 11:45 am to 12:15 pm. Lunch is not included in the course, so please prepare a lunch box. There is also no time to go to a restaurant during the lunch break.

These beginner snowboard lessons in Willingen are highly praised, with over 75% of reviewers giving a five-star rating. The experience is particularly popular with families and first-timers. Reviewers consistently highlight the 'WIRKLICH TOLLES TEAM' of instructors, describing them as friendly, competent, and very patient, which helps beginners learn quickly and gain confidence on the board. While a few found groups could be large or the price a bit high, the vast majority felt the course was effective and fun. Many were able to ride the slopes independently after just a short time, making it a highly recommended experience.

Friendly teacher, Claus, didn't speak English, but since we do, that wasn't a problem. There were also English-speaking teachers, but we found ours very friendly, so we stuck with him. The group wasn't very large, so there was plenty of attention for everyone.
The teachers were very competent; in 2 days of 2 hours each we were able to learn a lot and became increasingly confident on the board.
