Private snowboard lessons in Chamonix

A fun way to ride the mountain differently

Children or adults, start out or refine your technique with one-to-one coaching.

In a warm, reassuring atmosphere, your snowboard instructor gives you advice matched to your own pace, so you gain ease and ride the whole area with pleasure and confidence.

Beginner

  • The programme: A gentle introduction on suitable terrain: starting on the flat and on green runs. Learning the technical basics, balancing on toes and heels, front and back balance, traverses and the start of turns.
  • The goal: Discover the sport and link a few frontside and backside turns on a green run.
  • Good to know: Learning to snowboard takes energy and concentration. Sessions of 3 or 4 hours maximum are recommended to start with.

Intermediate

  • The programme: Consolidating what you know on green and blue runs, and discovering steeper slopes. Revisiting the technical basics and correcting your posture. Linked backside and frontside turns, with control of speed and line.
  • The goal: Gain ease, link turns more consistently and ride every run with confidence, from green to red.
  • Good to know: Consistency matters more than intensity. Sessions of 3 or 4 hours a day let the technical corrections sink in without building up muscle fatigue.

Advanced

  • The programme: Refining your technique on every kind of snow and slope (black runs, run edges, variable snow). Fine posture corrections, carved turns and reading the terrain. Riding off piste on a snowboard.
  • The goal: Develop a fluid style, master your lines on steeper slopes and vary your turn shapes according to conditions.
  • Good to know: Teaching adapts to your ambitions (carving, all-snow refinement). A full-day booking or 4-hour half days are ideal for exploring the best areas.

What to bring

  • Board and boots: snowboard and boots (preferential rates at our partner shops).
  • Lift pass: suited to your level and to the programme we set together.
  • Clothing and Comfort:
    • Waterproof, breathable clothing (suited to the weather, on the light side for beginners).
    • Waterproof gloves (reinforced or good quality ideally — essential on a snowboard).
  • Sun and eye protection: Ski goggles or sunglasses (category 3 or 4) and factor 50 sun cream.
  • Safety:
    • A helmet is strongly recommended (compulsory for children).
    • Protection is recommended (wrist guards and a coccyx protector for beginners).
