See availabilityBuild confidence on your board and develop your technique with our snowboard group lessons. With expert instruction, carefully chosen terrain and small groups, you’ll have everything you need to progress while enjoying plenty of time on the mountain. From your first turns to carving, switch riding, freestyle and the snowpark, our instructors will help you take your snowboarding further.
From complete beginners to experienced riders, there’s a group for every level. Your instructor will check your ability during the first session and make sure you’re riding with others of a similar level, so you can progress with confidence and get the most from every lesson.
Everyone starts somewhere. Our beginner snowboard lessons are designed for riders with little or no previous experience. Step by step, your instructor will help you learn the fundamentals, build confidence and develop the technique you need to progress naturally. From finding your balance and controlling your speed to making your first turns, you’ll build strong foundations from the very beginning.
French and English are available in every resort, with other languages also available depending on the destination.
In Les Menuires: mornings or afternoons depending on the week.

Your lessons with an Oxyski snowboard instructor, plus a medal and Oxypass progression booklet for children and teenagers on the final day of group lessons.
A snowboard and boots in the correct size, a helmet, wrist guards for beginners (and impact shorts if you have them), plus your lift pass. Equipment can be hired from one of our equipment rental partners in your resort.
No. You can learn to snowboard from scratch, and many beginners have never skied before.
From age 2 in private lessons, from age 3 in resorts where Mini Rider groups are available, and from age 8 for all other snowboard group lessons.
You don’t need to know before you book. Your instructor will help work out which stance feels most natural during the first session with a few simple exercises.
From age 8, groups may include both children and adults depending on the resort. Level is the priority, so we aim to place everyone with riders of a similar ability. Younger children stay in dedicated children’s groups.
A few falls are completely normal at the beginning while you find your balance and build confidence. Your instructor will guide you through it gradually and show you the right techniques to learn safely. We recommend wearing a helmet and wrist guards, and impact shorts can also add a little extra comfort during your first few sessions.
Yes. Snowboards, boots and helmets can be hired from our Oxyski ski shops or through one of our equipment rental partners. Depending on the resort, equipment hire can be added when you book your lessons.
