Private Snowboard Lessons

Your lessons. Your way.

Private snowboard lessons are the quickest way to improve skills on the snow for both adults and children; improve at your own pace with a dedicated and carefully chosen ES instructor who will tailor your time together so that you learn in a way that exactly suits you.

Our instructors are known for their adaptability; we appreciate everyone enjoys different things and we want you to have your own extraordinary experience on the snow.

Private snowboard lessons with European Snowsport

All our instructors speak English and love to teach, and are happy to meet you the afternoon before the lessons start to help plan the week. Snowboard lessons start wherever you’d like; the instructor can come to your accommodation, rental shop, ski lift, cafe, or wherever you prefer, on the first morning.  The timings of full-day snowboard lessons are dictated by you; all ES instructors know the mountain intimately and will guide you to the best places to ride, eat and explore.

“I could feel that the teacher was doing it from the heart and with passion, and of course this is what made it perfect. Would recommend 100%!”

There is no extra charge for adding family or friends to your private snowboard lessons, so the group size can vary at different times according to your needs.

Beginners and children greatly benefit from private lessons, as they learn the important fundamental aspects of snowboarding at their own pace, creating a solid foundation from which to grow into a strong and confident boarder.

We’ll add extra value where it matters so you can get the very best snowboard lessons with the highest level of service for your private experience. Our instructors all speak excellent English and, as well as improving your snowboarding, they’ll know the important information you need like which lifts are open, where to avoid the queues, the weather outlook and crucially, who serves the best coffee.

To snowboard your best, you need to be your best and we’ll take you up a level. When you choose ES, our instructors will ultimately unlock your true potential, expand your confidence and harness the best of your brilliant ability.

And when you reach new heights, they’ll be right beside you.

Often families or groups of friends hire several private instructors to look after parties including mixed abilities and requirements. If your party requires more than one instructor, we will appoint a lead instructor to coordinate your needs prior to arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it easier to ski or snowboard?

It may come down to what you have done before. If you can already surf or skateboard, snowboarding may feel more natural for you. If you have tried ice skating or rollerblading, then skiing may be your sport. Some people like the security of having their feet attached together on a board, whereas others enjoy the independence of having two separate skis beneath them.

Is skiing more dangerous than snowboarding?

Neither sport is more dangerous than the other. Both skiing and snowboarding come down to the person in control of the equipment, just like driving a car. Learning along the correct pathway with an instructor will ensure the safest way to do either sport. Both are great ways to enjoy the mountains!
