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.

Bei wunderbarem Wetter durften wir unvergessliche Tage geniessen. Es hat gepasst. Besten Dank Manuel und weiterhin viel Erfolg!

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.

MTB Summer
Camp

From July to August

Are you looking for a great activity for your kid that will make the summer holidays an unforgettable experience? We at Ride and Smile offer the best MTB summer camp in Switzerland – based on our passion and extensive knowledge in the field of training and teaching all age groups. In addition, with us you benefit from our many years of experience in the Davos Kloster region.

Our Ride and Smile Summer Camp is aimed at young people aged 13 to 16 and takes place on different dates in July and August.

The target group are young people who are interested in mountain biking, want to learn new techniques or are just starting out with this cool sport. Besides, we have other sporting activities on the program such as volleyball, skating, beach tennis, mini golf, swimming and much more.

The digitized everyday life makes it more and more important for many parents to find activities where the teenagers can have new outdoor experiences. As various studies show, contact with nature and physical activity have a variety of positive effects on mental and physical health.

Also, the young people get the opportunity to get to know themselves better by working together with others in a team, challenging themselves and supporting each other facing new tasks.

In this way, they train their skills such as secure communication, good time management, personal organization and solving problems together in a sporty and relaxed context.

MTB Summer Camp in Davos Klosters – Switzerland

The location

The Ride and Smile Summer Camp takes place in Klosters, which is connected to Davos in the canton of Graubünden by the mountain landscape. The region is known for the most beautiful landscapes in the country and its numerous sports activities.

Klosters is a typical Swiss village with around 3,000 inhabitants. The place offers more than 700 kilometers of bike and hiking trails, some of which can be reached by mountain railway. The highest mountain cable car for example, takes visitors up to 2800 meters.
There are a variety of routes to choose from – no wonder Davos Klosters is considered one of the top mountain biking destinations in the world. You can easily reach the place from the airport or the larger cities such as Zurich (150 km), Milan (240 km) or Munich (300 km). Klosters can also be easily reached by train from all over Europe.

You can find more information about Davos Klosters here.
