Snowboard lessons in Borovets, from your first slide to linked turns
The first lesson starts on the beginner slope with standing, sliding and stopping. Once that feels easy, it's on to your edges and first turns. There are three ways to learn: private lessons by the hour, a snowboard group, or a 3-day package with the board, boots and helmet included.
- Price
- From €48 an hour
- Length
- 1 to 4 hours private, or 2 or 4 hours a day in a group
- Age
- From 4
- Meeting point
- Usually Hotel Rila, or anywhere on the resort
First linked turns by the end of a 4-hour lesson
A snowboard feels strange for the first hour, and then your legs find the edges. The instructor stays on the beginner slope until stopping feels easy, and only then moves on to turns. By the end of a 4-hour lesson, almost everyone we teach can stop where they want and link their first turns. If you already ski, it's worth saying so when you book, and the instructor will start from what you know.
Standing up, sliding and stopping on the beginner slope.
Riding on the heel edge, then the toe edge.
Linking the first turns, one after another.
Three days is where it starts to feel like riding
Each 3-day package gives you 6 hours on the snow, 2 hours a day, with the same instructor all three days. The board, boots, helmet and goggles come with it, plus video of your riding to take home. One person pays less for it than for three 2-hour private lessons and three days of rental.
Solo
Every drill is picked for the turn you just made.

How to book a snowboard lesson in Borovets
All we need is your dates, your level, how many of you are coming, and that it's snowboard. We reply within 24 hours, often within the hour, with a time, an instructor and a meeting point. There's also a free 15-minute call if you'd rather talk first, and you'll come away from it with the plan, the kit list and where to meet.
