Itinerary
Meeting points Meeting Point in Interlaken or Grindelwald
Meet your group in Interlaken at the OUTDOOR Base or directly at the OUTDOOR Shop in Grindelwald. Your ski instructor will greet you, and you will receive skis, ski boots, and a helmet. Everything will be adjusted to ensure you feel safe and comfortable. Then the adventure begins.
Transfer to Bodmi Arena
The journey takes about 30 minutes from Interlaken and just aminutes from Grindelwald. The destination is Bodmi Arena: a safe practice area with a magic carpet, a wide slope, and an unobstructed view of the mountains.
Morning: First Attempts in the Snow
Your introduction to skiing starts with simple exercises: finding balance, gliding, braking, and making your first turns. You'll move a lot, learn quickly, and get a first feel for skis, snow, and terrain.
Lunch Break
Then you have time for yourself. You can eat outside on the sun terrace at the Bodmi Hotel, have a picnic, or treat yourself at Café 3692. The main thing: breathe, talk, and support eachother.
Afternoon: More Control, More Movement
Now it's time for turning, safe skiing, traversing, and side slipping. If things go well, you will be linking turns and possible get the chance to test yourself on a blue slope outside the arena at the end.
Return and Conclusion
Finally, there's feedback, a group photo, and time for questions. Then return to the starting point with the great feeling of having mastered your first ski day.

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.
