Itinerary
Meeting points Day1
Day 1: Getting Started with Snowboarding
Rental equipment & meeting point at Outdoor Café & Shop
Please arrive at our Outdoor Shop & Café by 9:00 AM at the latest to pick up your rental equipment (snowboard, boots and helmet). Goofy or regular? You can try it out straight away.
At 9:30 AM, you will meet your snowboard instructor and head to the Bodmi Arena together.
Transfer to Bodmi Arena
Just a few minutes away is the beginner area: flat, clear, with a magic carpet. It is the perfect place to get on the board and make your first gliding attempts – no pressure, but with a clear goal.
Snowboarding Lesson
You start with the first glide on the heel edge. Then you will practice safe braking: first sliding to the valley station, then controlled with the edge. You will practice getting up, board handling, body rotation. If you fall, no problem. It happens. We will show you how to get up safely and why your board sometimes has a mind of its own. Today's goal: You can stand, glide, and brake independently and have developed a feel for the board and snow.
Day2
Day 2: Building Movement Flow
Meeting point
Meeting point as agreed with the instructor. You are quicker to get ready, know the equipment, and feel more secure.
Snowboarding Lesson
Today it is all about the edges: You will learn to ride on the toe edge and switch between heel and toe. Then we will practice first turns and connect them into a smooth line. Lift riding is also included: first magic carpet, then maybe T-bar lift. You will feel how your board responds when you use your body consciously. Goal: several connected turns, secure edge control, first sense of rhythm. If you are ready, we will test an easy blue slope together.
Day3
Day 3: Control & Independence
Meeting Point at Outdoor Café & Shop
Meeting point as agreed with the instructor. Today we decide together: Do we stay in the arena or move to the First ski area? Both are possible, depending on your progress.
Snowboarding Lesson
Today it is about clean edge pressure, stable turns, and independent line choice. You are almost riding smoothly now, and the goal is to maintain this flow, even on slight slopes. We also practice how to consciously slow down, master transitions, or slide controlled if needed. Depending on your level, you will try the first direction change with a slightly parallel board stance.
End of the Course
Finally, you will receive honest feedback: What can you do, what is next, how can you continue? You will not leave as a "tourist", you have learned something. You can ride independently. And you know how to keep improving.

General weather info
Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.
Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.
