Spend a full day traveling from Zurich to the Jungfrau region to learn to ski on Grindelwald’s gentle Bodmi slopes. This beginner-focused trip includes transport, rental kit and a 2.5-hour instructor-led lesson beneath the Eiger.
You leave Zurich in the pale morning light and the coach hums north, the flat roofs of the city giving way to steely ridgelines and deep valleys. Snow fields begin to crowd the road; the Eiger’s north face edges into view like a cliff that keeps watch over the valley. By midmorning you’re in Grindelwald, skis and boots waiting at the hire shop, the Bodmi beginner slopes rolling out beneath the giant face.

By midmorning you’re in Grindelwald, skis and boots waiting at the hire shop, the Bodmi beginner slopes rolling out beneath the giant face.
The Jungfrau region sits in the Bernese Alps, part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO landscape carved by glaciers and uplifted by tectonic forces over millennia. Grindelwald grew as an alpine farming hamlet and evolved into one of Switzerland’s classic mountain resorts; wood chalets and cableways speak to a culture built around seasonal mountain work and winter sport.
Practically: this is a full 12-hour day trip from Zurich that combines coach transport, rental kit, and a 2.5-hour group lesson (max 8). Bodmi is pitched for first-timers—gentle gradients, wide nursery runs and drag lifts that are forgiving for new skiers. Expect clear demos from a certified English/German instructor, coached drills on snowplough turns and basic stopping, then free time to walk the village, grab a hot chocolate, or peek into the Glacier Gorge.
Timing matters: start early to get fitted and maximise instruction. Dress in layered synthetics, protect exposed skin from alpine sun, and hydrate—the altitude and cold together will fatigue you faster than you expect. The operator permits cancellations up to 24 hours prior and balances operations through myclimate to offset emissions.
No—this program is designed for first-time skiers and those with minimal experience; lessons focus on fundamentals and safety.

Minimum age is 12 years; younger children are not accommodated on this specific trip.
Full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure; the tour may be cancelled in bad weather for safety.
