Amazing snowboarding progress in just 3 days! Thoroughly recommended!!! Matteo was brilliant, even before the snowboarding lessons began, from providing a recommendation on the type of beginner board to rent, to thoughtfully suggesting my girls have their first lesson at the base of Jakobshorn/Davos, rather than battle the t-bar at Madrisa/Klosters (which is what I did two decades ago and enough to put off any beginner snowboarder for life!) As for the lessons, the results speak for themselves: towards the end of day three's lesson, they successfully navigated a black run! Equally important in my book is the way a lesson is taught (I joined for a morning). Matteo's enthusiasm is infectious and speaks to his teaching style. He takes things very steadily. The focus is on staying in control, and laying strong foundations (which speaks to his training as a professional fencer!) Regarding the admin side of things, faultless.

Best snowboardschool I know This was the best snowboard school I have seen so far in the Alps.
I was there with my kids (1st and 3rd year of snowboarding for the kids) and they truly enjoyed the lessons with Matteo.

Matteo really knows how to motivate kids and how to teach snowboarding from beginners to pros.

Ride and Smile Ski School in Davos - I had a fantastic time skiing with Manuel from Ride and Smile! Did some awesome off-piste runs that were so easy to get to! My entire trip revolved around what I wanted to do and how I felt. Everything about my time - the skiing, the views - was amazing!

We did the two day avalanche course with Manuel- we were lucky to have wonderful weather! We were a group of 4 with varying degrees and skills. Manuel was flexible to our needs regarding time, group, skill level, etc. he even helped us with accommodation (which we really appreciated). We appreciate the help and skills that he has provided us with. The material training (probe, beacon, shovel, etc.) was very clear and well explained. We also really appreciated the insight that he gave us regard snow conditions, terrain, and app navigation. The white risk app has an overload of information that Manuel was very helpful to work through with us, and give us more skills to plan our own fun and SAFE tours in the future. Thanks Manuel!

Ich habe zwar keinen Kurs mitgemacht, allerdings habe ich mich als Anfänger auf eine schwere Piste verirrt. Zwei Lehrer von Ride and Smile haben mich zufällig gesehen und mir geholfen gut runter zu kommen und mir noch etwas beigebracht.
