Itinerary
Meeting points Meeting point in Interlaken or Grindelwald
The starting point is the OUTDOOR Base Interlaken or OUTDOOR Shop Grindelwald, where you will be greeted by your ski instructor, receive skis, boots, and a helmet. The equipment will be adjusted to ensure everything fits comfortably and securely. Here, you also have the chance to rent ski clothes, gloves and goggles if needed.
Transfer to Bodmi Arena
Together, you'll travel to Bodmi Arena. It takes about 30 minutes from Interlaken and just a few minutes from Grindelwald. The arena is quiet, clear, and perfect for practice.
Introduction to skiing
You'll learn how to walk in the snow with skis, make your first gliding movements, brake, and turn. You practice at your own pace. The terrain is safe, the air is clear, and the snow makes you want more.

Weather info
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.
