Independent Snowboard School Verbier

Could not have been happier with my choice of a snowboard school here in Verbier! Roland was super knowledgeable and kindly pointed out gaps in my technique and ways to fix and adjust them. He safely took me freeriding and through incredible untouched powder runs, despite having been several days since the last snowfall. I have been riding for many years (16, to be exact), and he still pushed me to do things that were out of my comfort zone, but that I was still capable of! I'm so glad that I paid the extra money to learn from the best of the best- I've learned many things (even as an advanced rider) that I can take back home to practice and push myself. If you're having any doubts or difficulty finding a snowboard school in Verbier, I would look no past Independent Snowboard School- five out of five stars, and I would book again with them upon return to Verbier!

I arrived in Verbier without having any course booked and luckily came across Independent Snowboard School with whom I was able to book a 3h beginner private lesson in the afternoon on the same day (my first day). The booking was super easy via phone and I paid through a link - thanks to Franziska for being so flexible and friendly! At 13:00 I met up with Roland, my snowboarding instructor, and I learned all the important basics while enjoying the beautiful view and having casual chats. Those 3h and Roland’s support and encouragement are the reason why I was able to snowboard with curves down the beginners hill on my third day. I had all the knowledge from Roland and just had to put it in motion. Thanks a lot for the great time, Roland! I can highly recommend Independent Snowboarding School for any beginners or also others who feel insecure and need support for starting again.

Today was crazy day, I start snowboarding 3 months ago and because of the great way of teaching from Tom I managed for the first time do several 180 in the park, did my first grabs also. Tried also euro carving. The professionalism of this school and love for teaching snowboarding is just amazing. I had the opportunity of talking with the owner of the school Andre summer and was really interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. I wish I had this class before. You guys rock!

An amazing experience and growth! I hadn’t snowboarded in over a year and Lozyo made me progress to learning and mastering new techniques on the second day as well as helping me try and pick out new gear! Extremely patient and a great teacher that is truly a master in what he does! A great talent that deserves all the success and recognition!

Independent Snowboarding provided very good personalized coaching for our son who competed throughout Switzerland during the season. Coach Lozyo can not only coach the tricks that our son was trying to learn but can also do/model the tricks with style. His excellent coaching helped our son achieve multiple podium finishes and, after this season, our son considers him a friend and mentor. We hope he has the opportunity to ride with Independent and Lozyo again next year!

The first time I came across the independent school was when I was looking for an instructor to help me back to snowboarding after an injury. After several lessons, I have not only increased my confidence but also progressed a lot in my riding. All teaching has been done in extremely friendly manner keeping the true spirit of snowboarding, all thanks the brilliant instruction given by Roland. Now the independent school is my default choice to expand my snowboarding skills or to have fun. Each time we try something different, free-riding, freestyle or split-boarding, the number of options is truly unlimited.

What an amazing experience. My first time snowboarding and now I’m obsessed! Roland was the best instructor ever; he taught me the basics to start and enjoy snowboarding. Super friendly people and Francesca super helpful on the phone. I will definitely book more lessons next year.

Great school and instuctor - special for snowboard.Rea the instructor took me to the next level after some time I was not improving.She is a great listener for what you want to focus on. She finds the best small tips which will suit you out of several of options so you will feel comfortable.Great attitude as well.Thank you Rea!!

With a friendly call for a booking, and a relaxed and tailored lesson, this is a definite recommendation!Met up with Roland for a private morning lesson, he was kind and understanding for my needs and goals. He helped me quickly get from struggling and quivering on a board, to comfortably taking turns and connecting them
