Welcome to the Zurich Snowsports Club! We are a voluntary, non-profit club founded by professional snowboard and ski instructors with a goal to create the best experience for our members.
We match groups to optimize how much you will learn, while also bringing people together for the best social experience. After all, sharing the experience is what makes the sport special for so many of us. That means we match based on age groups (no young kids mixed with adults) and personal goals instead of unstructured first-come-first-served registration. During registration, we ask specific questions about your hobbies, interest in riding styles (freestyle, freeriding), if you want to be in a group without waiting, etc. As a result we'll have more enjoyable shared experiences for both students and instructors.
Once a compatible group of about 5-7 people can be formed, we will contact you to check availability and confirm the dates/prices.
Group lessons are done through the existing ski schools. For example, Laax School would be used for skiiers in Laax and Schweizer Ski- und Snowboardschule Melchsee-Frutt for snowboarders in Melchsee-Frutt.
Becoming a member of the Zurich Snowsports Club is easy! We welcome people from all countries and backgrounds who share a passion for snowsports.
Since we are a newly formed club, we cannot guarantee that enough people will register in order to hold the planned trips. Registering interest is free, and any costs will be communicated once group sizes and dates can be confirmed.
Registering interest is not an obligation to attend or pay. Final confirmations can be made when groups and dates are confirmed.
If you'd like to join, simply fill out the form below or contact us directly for more information!
The 2025 / 2026 season is here! We're currently uncertain about how many people will register, and therefore we don't have suggestions for the number and location of trips yet. Please register, and once there is enough interest, we'll try to get a group of people together with similar experience, interests and with a sensible mixture of ages.
Location: Graubünden
Sport: Skiing & Snowboarding
One of our favourite places to take beginners, intermediate, advanced and expert groups. There are long, mellow slopes for beginners, as well as an awesome freestyle setup and a huge diversity of pistes for everyone in between :)
Location: Saint Gallen (1h from Zürich)
Sport: Snowboarding
Loved for being close to Zürich, Flumserberg is convenient and has some good slopes for absolute beginners. Some days can be crowded, and the freestyle offering is small, which is kept in mind when planning trips.
Location: Obwalden
Sport: Snowboarding
A hidden gem in Switzerland. While Engelberg takes the spotlight (and the crowds), Melchsee-Frutt is loved by everyone that finds it. The freestyle offering here stands out as the best reason to visit.
Location: Graubünden
Sport: Snowboarding
One of the most varied resorts in Europe with five different mountains, freestyle parks and reliable snow. Perfect for groups who wants everything in one place.
