Families have been enjoying Our Mini Shred Snowboard Holidays in Morzine since 2012. These popular holiday packages include fantastic catered chalet accommodation along with superior snowboard instruction and snowboard equipment for your kids.
For the accommodation, we partner with Northstar Chalets who run fantastic catered chalets in the centre of Morzine. In April 2024, we are running our Family Package week out of Chalet la Grange, which is situated just 150m from the shops, restaurants, bus stop and tourist office. Whether it’s the ease of getting to the ski slopes in the morning or heading into town in the afternoon for multiple goes on the roundabout or visits to the swimming pool, then the central Morzine location of this chalet will make all the difference to your holiday.
With the catered chalet experience you can enjoy a truly relaxing snowboard holiday with your family, focusing on the fun and forgetting the chores!
For their time on the slopes, your kids will be booked into snowboard lessons with our reputable instructors at MINT Snowboard School. For the first-timers, we can guarantee to get them hooked on snowboarding for life! Or for those who have been before, it’s all about progressing their riding and gaining more confidence and independence all over the mountain.
We choose to run our Family Snowboard Holidays over the Easter holidays, when the weather is warm and the snow is soft and slushy… a perfect time of year for kids learning to snowboard!
MINT Snowboarding will provide the tuition for your children for 3 days either on the Morzine or Avoriaz slopes (dependent on snow conditions and ability). The main focus of the lessons will be learning through fun & games, enabling your children to adopt the basics of snowboarding in an exciting and stimulating environment.
The kids are partnered up and taught in pairs by one of the MINT Snowboarding kid specialist instructors. The package includes 3 x 2hr lessons over 3 consecutive days starting on Monday, with the option of booking further lessons. Lessons are based upon 2 kids, of a similar age & ability, sharing. If you prefer your child to have a private instructor, this is possible for a supplementary fee.
The soft, slushy snow and warmer springtime weather make Easter the best time of year for little kids to learn to snowboard.
Your accommodation will be in Chalet la Grange which is located in the heart of Morzine’s old town. You are only a few minutes walk away from the closest slopes and all the major bus links to Avoriaz and the rest of Les Portes du Soleil.
Enjoy being welcomed off the slopes to daily fresh cakes in the afternoon (if you make it to them before the kids!) and followed by a delicious 4 course evening meal with wine. Chalet la Grange features an outdoor hot tub and open plan living area. The chalet has 5 ensuite bedrooms, several of which are family rooms.
Northstar are focused on giving you the ultimate family snowboard holiday by providing a fantastic service in beautiful chalets and with delicious and nutritious meals.

MINT Snowboard School lead the field with making snowboarding accessible to young kids. MINT provide the right combination of expert tuition, passion for riding and most importantly being able to relate to young kids…..couldn’t fault them and have already booked to use again and would definitely recommend to others.

We cannot recommend MINT enough!! Right from our initial enquiry to our daughters fantastic instructor, the whole experience was first class. Our 3 year old had the best introduction to boarding that we could have ever hoped for – thanks to her awesome instructor Simone. Never for a minute expected her to be riding a chairlift, doing nose and tail grabs and even turning smoothly. We won’t hesitate booking again, definitely some progression lessons also for mum and dad too – before we get left behind by the mini-shredder!!

MINT Snowboarding has made it a very easy decision for us to book again next year. Both of our children (8 & 6) enjoyed themselves hugely within group and 1:1 lessons. MINT Snowboarding took great care to ensure the group was balanced with similar ability levels and with a max of 6 children. The instructors were friendly, fun and nurturing which really inspired our children and helped cement snowboarding on their “again, again!” list. Thank you!

Mum, Dad and three boys (14, 12, 8) brand new to boarding had private family lessons. Instructor Simone was excellent and the boys were whizzing along and doing 360s after two days. The organisation of the company was very good and communication both when in UK and in resort was great. Simone really made it for the boys and they progressed amazingly under his tuition.

My little boy had lessons with MINT in Avoriaz. WOW….. absolutely brilliant, Gerard had the patience of a saint and was super enthusiastic with Eddie. His professionalism and encouragement was just mind blowing and it reflected in my little boy being excited each morning to join him!
Even writing this review doesn’t seem to do MINT or Gerard any justice!!!
We will be back next season!
