Learn the foundations of snowboarding with a group of like-minded people on our Beginner / Improver Snowboard Camp. With five full days of coaching and seven nights of chalet-hotel accommodation, this is the ultimate ‘learn to snowboard’ holiday — designed to set you up for the rest of the season and beyond.
MINT Snowboarding is the only school in Europe offering a dedicated beginner and improver snowboard camp. This unique setup gives first-timers the chance to learn alongside other beginners, while improvers can continue building skills and confidence across the mountain. Our friendly team of professional instructors will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you learn safely, progress quickly and have plenty of fun throughout the week.
For winter 2025/26, we’re teaming up with two fantastic accommodation partners who will make sure you have a comfortable stay and stay well-fuelled with delicious, nourishing meals. (Scroll down for full accommodation details.)
To meet the huge demand for this camp, we’re offering three dates this winter:
Opening week in December for early-season riding
Early February before the busy holiday period
Late March for the fair-weather riders amongst us
If you’re brand new to snowboarding — or have only ridden for a week or two — this is the perfect snowboard holiday for you. You’ll learn everything from strapping in and making your first turns to developing a strong, balanced riding platform that forms the foundation of all your future progression.
You don’t need any experience at all. Our instructors will take you through every stage at a comfortable pace, helping you build confidence while exploring more of the mountain each day.
You don’t have to be a beginner. This camp is also ideal for improver-level riders who have one or two weeks of experience and want to strengthen their skills, build confidence and move beyond the early-stage challenges of snowboarding with the support of professional coaching.

We’ll be taking over the hotel for the week, creating a brilliant community vibe with space to relax, connect and unwind. The friendly hotel team will look after you throughout your stay — and yes, the restaurant really is as delicious as everyone says.
If you’re looking for a little extra luxury, Chalet Doyen, hosted by our friends at Treeline Chalets, is available as an upgrade option for the December camp. Expect a truly premium experience with exclusive touches throughout your stay — including a fisheye barrel sauna and outdoor hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a day on the mountain.
For the February and March 2026 camps, you’ll stay in a catered chalet in central Morzine hosted by Atlas Chalets. The catered chalet experience gives you the ultimate holiday escape: hearty meals prepared for you, a comfortable home-from-home atmosphere and welcoming hosts. Chalet Atlas is just a 5-minute walk from the centre of Morzine.
Shared rooms pair you with other solo travellers joining the camp in same-sex rooms, making it a friendly and social experience from the moment you arrive.
