Skiing is fun. Snowboarding too. But sometimes you need that little extra something to glide confidently and independently down the slopes. Maybe you're completely new to skiing? Or you're already experienced but want to make further progress?

Then Grindelwald is the perfect destination for you.

The Grindelwald ski school offers a wide range of options for kids and adults, beginners and advanced, skiers and snowboarders of all ages. Here are our 14 reasons why you should visit a ski school in Grindelwald.

The area around Grindelwald is unique all year round. With towering mountains like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, plus the Männlichen and First, the Jungfrau region is an extraordinarily beautiful place to learn skiing or snowboarding. For the ski schools, you can choose from the ski areas Grindelwald First, Männlichen, and Kleine Scheidegg.

If your legs start to feel tired or you need a little motivation to keep going during your ski course, take a moment to enjoy the view.

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 schools aren't just for kids. You can still learn to ski or snowboard as an adult. Sometimes, all you need is a refresher lesson to give you the boost you need for your next run.
