Group snowboard lessons for children

A snowboard instructor in a red jacket sits on the snow beside a child wearing an orange jacket and helmet. Both are preparing for their snowboarding session, with their boards resting in the snow. The scene shows a snowy landscape under bright sunlight.

Using the SSBS Rider System, children progress step by step with clear learning goals.

Frequently asked questions about the group snowboard course

We recommend snowboarding from around 6 years of age. Younger children often find it easier to start with skiing. We’d be happy to advise you when you make the booking.

No, equipment can be hired directly in Davos. We recommend that you sort out your equipment before the course starts, so that the first day of the course goes smoothly.

The snowboard group course is specifically designed for snowboarding. The learning objectives, exercises and equipment differ from those used in skiing. Everything else – group structure, times, meeting point – remains the same.
