Description

Your summer snowboard experience starts early in the morning when the conditions on the glacier are ideal. You meet your snowboard instructor directly in the ski area on the Klein Matterhorn or are picked up at your accommodation or at the valley station, depending on the agreement. Together you will take the gondola to Testa Grigia - where your individual lesson will start.

After a brief discussion about your goals and level, you'll get started: whether it's first turns, fine-tuning your technique or new tricks - your instructor will adapt the pace and content to your needs. The course ends back on the Klein Matterhorn - the perfect way to round off a morning of snowboarding with lunch at the highest mountain station in Europe.
