How your day works

How your snowboard lesson unfolds from standing up to riding down.

Here is what a day with us looks like — step by step, nothing hidden.

More about the day Learn to snowboard: guide

Step 1 – A snowboard group meeting at the foot of the practice slope on the Fallbachhang in Oberhof

Arrival & introductions

We meet at the agreed meeting point on the Fallbachhang and get to know each other. This is where you get everything you need to know about the day.

Step 2 – Hands adjusting a snowboard binding in the snow, with a helmet and boots alongside

Equipment check

We fit your board, boots and helmet to you personally – and you can simply add rental gear when you book.

Step 3 – A beginner standing on a snowboard with one foot strapped in on the gentle practice slope, coach alongside

First steps on the slope

Warming up, finding your stance, getting back on your feet the easy way – playful, and never under pressure.

Step 4 – A beginner sliding the first few metres down the gentle practice slope

First run

You ride your first metres on your own – that moment arrives sooner than you think.

Step 5 – A snowboarder carving a controlled turn on the groomed piste and braking on her edge

Turning & staying safe

We practise controlled turns and braking so you can get down the slope safely.

Riding free

You ride the slope on your own – again and again. Pure fun!

Step 7 – Two course participants walking back to the lodge in the winter sun, snowboards under their arms

Wrapping up & tips

Personal feedback and tips on where to take it from here. See you next time!

„Es war ein hammer Tag im Schnee! Bei jeder Abfahrt ging es noch besser den Hang runter. Die 6 Stunden sind wirklich wie im Flug vergangen, leider! Dafür habe ich jetzt aber alle Grundlagen, um auch allein die Pisten runter zu düsen.“

Everything you need to know

Frequent questions, briefly answered.

We answer the questions we get asked most often. Still something open? Just write to us — we will get back to you as quickly as we can.

No. You need no previous experience, and you can hire a board, boots and helmet from us – just add them when you book. All you need to bring is warm, waterproof winter clothing and gloves.

Waterproof ski trousers and jacket, not too bulky – you want to be able to move. Add warm base layers, a hat, a scarf and, crucially, waterproof ski gloves. We provide the helmet.

The Mini Boarder course starts at age 3 and the beginner courses at 8 – with no upper limit at all. We have had 68-year-olds happily sharing the slope with the teenagers.

Yes. Our snowboard lessons are for people of every age – adults very much included. Many people only learn to snowboard as adults, on their own, with friends or together with their children. The Beginner Course, the Basic Course and the private lesson are for ages 8 and up, with no upper age limit.

Add a board with bindings, boots and a helmet to your course – individually or as a full package:

Full package (Board + Bindings, Boots, Helmet) 40,00 € ~~55,00 €~~
Helmet 5,00 €
Board + Bindings 30,00 €
Boots 20,00 €

You book the hire together with the course, so everything is ready on the day. The kit comes from Germina Sportwelt Oberhof – well-maintained gear from a professional rental shop, handed out on the course day right at the meeting point. Mini Boarder: we provide the children's gear ourselves, complete for 25 € (Helmet 5 €, Board + Bindings 15 €, Boots 5 €). Browse the courses.

The Basic Course is a full day of around 6 hours. Important: those roughly 6 hours include a lunch break of about 45 minutes. It falls between the Beginner Course in the morning and the follow-up part in the afternoon – for eating, warming up and recharging. Actual lesson time is therefore 2 × 2.5 hours. The Beginner Course on its own is a half-day course of around 2.5 hours, without a lunch break. The schedule shows exactly how the day runs.

It differs from person to person. In our experience most people are standing on the board after two or three hours, and many ride the beginners' slope on their own by the end of the first day. How far you get depends on your willingness, how you learn and your motivation – and we take as much time as you need.

The meeting point is right at the Fallbachhang in Oberhof (Alte Ohrdrufer Str. 6a, 98559 Oberhof) – reachable by car, bus or train. On our directions page you will find written directions and an interactive map.

We hear that worry often, and it is a fair one. If you follow your instructor's guidance you are in good hands: we spend most of the time on the beginners' hill, where speeds stay low and you are kept clear of the main slope traffic. The FIS rules of conduct cover the rest.

A snowboard course voucher is ordered online and arrives by email or as a printed version by post. You redeem it via the voucher redemption page for the date you want.

A free cancellation is possible until 5 pm the day before the course – a phone call or an email is enough. If you simply let the date pass without a word, we unfortunately have to charge for the course.

That is the short version. All 30 questions about the snowboard school – from equipment and cancellations to groups and parties.
