22/02/2022Spent 5 days doing group lessons as a beginner and took three further private lessons. Had a fantastic time with my instructor Peter (ex-military), who also teaches people with disabilities.... read more Lessons were at Kleine Scheidegg, took the train up from Grindelwald every morning and afternoon. Peter built up my confidence while pushing me further and further each day. Very friendly, easy to understand, technically proficient, picking up my areas to work on and felt safe going down my first blue runs. He even threw in a few psychological pep talks after a mishap or two! Highly recommend Altitude and Peter. Will be back, not least for the stunning scenery.

Thanks... read more to our awesome instructor Jo, who is very professional, patient and encouraged us a lot.

PS: one tip for snowboard freshmen: never let go your snowboard on piste! (Very appreciated to Jo helping me finding my board back from the deep snow :D)
