Description

This course is ideal if you want to improve your skiing on steep slopes. You’ll get valuable tips from an experienced coach and can review your progress with video analysis.

Meet your instructor at the First valley station in Grindelwald at 8:30. From 9:00 to 11:30, you’ll learn to carve. When carving, you make your turns entirely on the ski’s steel edges instead of skidding through the turns. Compared with traditional alpine skiing, this means you brake much less and carry your speed through each turn. This makes skiing even more fun, while leaving clear tracks in the snow.

Practical information

  • Requirement: confident, athletic skier on gentler slopes with good speed control
  • Runs with at least 4 participants
