Snowboarding

Book your snowboarding course or rent your equipment. When snowboarding, you stand sideways on a board-like skiing device. The snowboard glides over the snow. Either the right or the left foot can be in front. Your boots are connected to the snowboard by a binding.

Frequently asked questions

Snowboarding · answered by the editorial team

What shoes are suitable for snowboarding?

The hard boots that were increasingly used in the past resembled ski boots. Today, soft boots are primarily used. They are much more comfortable than hard boots. Nevertheless, they give the right grip when driving.

What equipment do I need for snowboarding?

In addition to the snowboard, soft boots and the appropriate binding, you need snowboard pants and snowboard gloves, which are preferably equipped with a wrist guard. A back protector, knee pads and a helmet will protect you in case of a fall. Winter sports jacket, hat, scarf and ski goggles complete the equipment.

Where can I snowboard?

All ski slopes and freeride areas are generally accessible for snowboarders as well.
