Why snowboarding?

  • Unique riding experience: Snowboarding offers a dynamic feeling of freedom on the piste. With the boards, you can make wide, smooth carving turns on wide slopes and enjoy the view of the mountains at the same time.
  • Strong sense of community: Snowboarders are often travelling in groups and can therefore share their enthusiasm for the sport with each other during group activities and après-ski.
  • Whole-body workout: Snowboarding challenges the whole body and improves balance, coordination and muscle strength, which leads to better fitness.
  • Fun and creativity: Learning and perfecting tricks in snow parks increases fun and offers creative challenges that provide long-term motivation.
  • Easy for beginners: There are many snowboard lessons for beginners that enable a quick and safe introduction to the sport and make snowboarding easy to learn.
  • Nature experience: Breathtaking landscapes and panoramic views make snowboarding an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond the sporting aspect.

Choosing the ideal snowboard area and slopes

  • Wide slopes: These offer plenty of space for wide carving turns and narrow passages that make riding difficult can be avoided.
  • Less groomed runs: Groomed runs are very flat and therefore often difficult for snowboarders to ride. They should therefore be avoided so that you don't have to unbuckle your board all the time.
  • Hardly any drag lifts: Chairlifts or gondolas are more comfortable and practical for snowboarders, as getting on and off is much easier here.
  • Long descents: Long, uninterrupted descents offer more fun and less waiting time at the lifts, which maximises riding time.
  • Good snow reliability: Choose a snowboard area with good snow conditions to ensure consistent conditions throughout the season.
  • Snowparks: Make sure there are snowparks with pipes, rails and jumps so that freestylers can try out new tricks.
  • Off-piste options: For freeride adventures, snowboard areas with good deep snow and off-piste options are ideal for riding away from the groomed pistes.
  • Family-friendly options: If you are travelling with the family, slopes with different levels of difficulty are important to suit all riders.

What equipment is recommended for a snowboard holiday?

In addition to basic equipment such as a snowboard, boots, helmet and ski goggles, it is recommended to wear special snowboard clothing such as waterproof jackets and trousers, thermal underwear and gloves.

What safety precautions should I take when snowboarding?

It is important to always wear a helmet and use suitable protective equipment such as back protectors. Follow the rules of the piste and don't overestimate your abilities. Find out about the weather and snow conditions and pay particular attention to possible avalanche risks when travelling off-piste and carry appropriate equipment such as a shovel and an avalanche transceiver.

Most ski and snowboard resorts naturally offer special snowboard lessons for beginners to help you learn the basics of snowboarding safely and effectively. These lessons are often available in different levels of difficulty and are a great way to get a structured introduction to the sport.
