15 reasons why you should visit a ski school in Grindelwald

Skiing is fun. So is snowboarding. But sometimes a certain something is still missing to be able to jet across the slopes independently and safely. Maybe you are new to skiing? Or you are already experienced, but would like to make further progress?

Then Grindelwald is the perfect destination for you.

For children and adults, beginners and advanced, skiers and snowboarders of all ages, the Grindelwald Ski School offers a wide range of activities. Find out here our 14 reasons why you should visit a ski school in Grindelwald.

Learn to ski or snowboard in the ski resorts of the Jungfrau region

The region around Grindelwald is unique all year round. With the mountain giants like Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the Männlichen but also the First, the Jungfrau region is an exceptionally beautiful place to learn skiing or snowboarding. For the ski schools you can choose between the ski areas Grindelwald First, Männlichen and Kleine Scheidegg.

If your legs get tired or you need some motivation to stick with the ski lessons, take a moment and enjoy the view.

Lessons with experienced ski instructors according to all levels of the Swiss Snow League

Skiing and snowboarding skills are as individual as you are. That's why in Grindelwald we teach according to the nine levels of the Swiss Snow League. These are suitable for children and adults, skiers and snowboarders and pick you up exactly where you are at the moment. The different levels are called:

  • Snowli & Bambini
  • Blue Prince / Princess
  • Blue King / Queen
  • Blue Star
  • Red Prince / Princess
  • Red King / Queen
  • Red Star
  • Black Prince / Princess
  • Black Academy

To track your progress, you will receive a Snow League booklet. To complete a level, you have to master all the corresponding tasks. After that you advance to the next higher league. By the way, after each successfully completed level you earn a medal at the ski school race.

Ski school also for adults in Grindelwald

Ski schools are not only suitable for children. Even in adulthood you can still learn skiing and snowboarding. Sometimes just a refresher lesson is enough to give you the kick you need for the next run down the slopes. In Grindelwald there are courses for every taste and every level. Of course you also have the choice between a group course or a private lesson.

Perfect terrain for beginners in the Bodmi Arena

With the Bodmi Arena you will find an ideal terrain in Grindelwald if you are new to skiing. This hill with conveyor belts is especially popular with young children. Here they sometimes already make their first turns on the snow at the tender age of three. This is how they familiarize themselves with the skis or snowboard.

But also if you are a bit older or have bigger children and you want to dare to ski or snowboard for the first time, Grindelwald is perfect. In the Bodmi Arena, you don't have to get on ski lifts or chairlifts. You just stand on the conveyor belt and then slide down the hill. So you get ready for the challenging slopes in the Jungfrau region in a safe environment.

Choice between private lessons and group lessons

The range of ski schools in Grindelwald is very large. The first decision you have to make is whether you want to be taught privately or in a group. From half a day to several days, you can choose courses with a private instructor or in a group. The groups usually consist of about 6 people

If you want to make fast progress and enjoy personal attention, we recommend a private course. For children, however, group lessons are also perfect. There they get to know other children and at the end of the ski school week they take part in an exciting ski race.
