The Snowgarden Riederalp in the Aletsch Arena is an excellent address for very young snow enthusiasts: children from the age of 2½ can gain their first experience on skis or snowboards here. The Snowgarden is located in the middle of the village of Riederalp, right next to the children's ski lift in the so-called Skiarena Alpenrose.
It is equipped with several "magic carpets" (conveyor belts), figure courses and other aids - ideal for children to practise gliding and braking safely and playfully.
The courses at the Swiss Ski School Riederalp are specially tailored to this age group and offer a guided start in the snow.

Courses: Please register online or on site at the ski school office

Taster lesson "Snowflake" for toddlers on Tuesday and Thursday from 15:30 to 16:30. CHF 45
Group lessons from Monday to Friday from 14:00 to 16:00. 1 day CHF65, 5 days CHF 220

Those who do not take part in the course can usually use the Snowgarden free of charge for a fee of CHF 10 per child - you can pay either at the ski school office or directly on site (cash or Twint).
