How your day works

  1. Arrive and get kitted out

    We meet at the Fallbachhang, get to know each other and fit the snowboard, boots and helmet individually to you.

  2. A little theory comes with it

    What is frontside, what is backside? Do you ride regular or goofy? How do you stand up properly with a snowboard, and what is skating? Kept short, but you can't do without it.

  3. How to fall safely

    In the first warm-up exercises we show you how to fall safely and give you tips on how to behave on the mountain.

  4. Braking takes practice

    Traversing and gliding across the fall line, plus controlled braking and stopping. That way you can always get back down any slope.

This is what you can do by the end of the day

  • You have practised gliding, braking and stopping — that is what the Beginner Course is about.
  • You know how to fall properly and get back up.
  • You know the basic terms: frontside, backside, regular or goofy.
  • If you enjoy it, you extend to the full Basic Course on the day and ride your first turns in the afternoon.

Is this course right for you?

Yes, if …

  • You have never, or only once or twice, stood on a snowboard.
  • A whole day of Basic Course is too much for you — the Beginner Course is the first half of it.
  • You enjoy learning together with others and like the breaks in between.
  • You are a teenager or an adult and want to try snowboarding at your own pace first.

Probably not, if …

  • You can already ride turns safely — then a private lesson suits you better.
  • You want the complete basic training in one day — then book the full Basic Course straight away.
  • You have a recent injury to your knee, shoulder or wrist.
  • You need one-to-one coaching throughout — then take the private lesson.

Frequently asked questions about this course

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.

Yes. Snowboarding is technique, not strength. Our coaches build up the day so that you improve step by step. Breaks are very much part of it.

The course starts with how to fall safely — before you even pick up speed. We practise on a gentle slope and only step things up once you feel confident. A helmet comes with the rental equipment.

Warm, waterproof clothing, gloves and ski goggles or sunglasses. You can add a board, boots and helmet when you book.

If the course cannot go ahead from our side, you get a replacement date or your money back. You yourself can cancel free of charge until 5 pm the day before the course.

No. Lift fees at the Fallbachhang are included in the price for the duration of the course.

Good to know

The Snowboard Beginner Course takes about 2.5 hours and is the first part of our Basic Course. It is for teenagers and adults who want to learn to snowboard, and for children from 8. If it goes well and you want more, you decide on the day whether to extend to the full Basic Course for an extra charge.

A LITTLE THEORY COMES WITH IT

Learn the basics with us. What is frontside, what is backside? Do you ride regular or goofy? How do you get back on your feet with a board strapped on? And what exactly is skating?

HOW TO FALL SAFELY

In the first warm-up exercises we show you how to fall without hurting yourself, and pass on the rules that keep everyone safe on the mountain.

BRAKING TAKES PRACTICE

How do you traverse and glide across the fall line? So that you always arrive in one piece, we show you how to slow down and come to a stop.
