St. Moritz
Snowboard instructor in St. Moritz
St. Moritz sits at 1,800 metres in the Engadin, a high valley with a dry, bright climate that is closer to the Alps' southern side than to the rest of Switzerland. It averages over 300 sunny days a year, and the light at that altitude in February is the reason people keep coming back.
It is the birthplace of alpine winter tourism and it shows: the cross-country network across the frozen lake is among the best in Europe, and the resort supports everything from gentle to serious. Summer brings hiking, riding and one of the highest golf courses in the Alps.
The first two days decide everything
Snowboarding is unusually front-loaded: the first two days are genuinely hard, and after that it gets fast. Most people who give up quit inside those two days, almost always because nobody showed them how to fall or how to link a turn. An instructor for that window is worth more than a whole season of trying alone.
Equipment and passes
Lift passes are arranged by you. Bring your own board and boots if you have them — boots especially, since rental boots are the most common reason a day hurts. If you are renting, say so when you book.

Common questions
I have never been on a board. Where do we start?
On the flat, learning to fall and to slide on one edge. It is less glamorous than it sounds and it is why some people progress in two days and others take two seasons.
I ski. Will that help?
A little, for reading the mountain. Not much for the board itself — the movements are almost opposite, and skiers often find day one harder than non-skiers do.
Can we book as a pair?
Yes, if you are at similar levels. Two beginners together works well; a beginner with an experienced rider does not.
