#2 Grindelwald - Wengen - Snowboarders Rating

Grindelwald-Wengen offers a mixed bag for snowboarders according to our users. A user who is an advanced snowboarder praised the "amazing off-piste areas which are very safe" and noted the quiet queues. However, intermediate riders should be aware of flat sections on many blue and red runs, which can be challenging for boarders. The tree-lined woodland runs receive consistent praise, with one snowboarder highlighting the "wicked runs" and "epic views." For families learning to snowboard, the area is particularly well-suited – one mum shared her positive experience with Altitude ski school, describing her instructor as "fabulous with my children and super patient."

Verbier offers snowboarders a playground of incredible terrain options. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the resort provides "variety of terrain accessible right off the chair lift" with "powder days that dreams are made of." Many riders praise the quality of the off-piste, with one expert noting it's "some of the best in the world" requiring "minimal hiking." The terrain park crew receives high marks for maintaining quality features. Even intermediate riders find plenty to enjoy, with one user mentioning there's "something for everyone" including "pretty gnarly blacks for those with experience." Though expensive, the riding experience makes Verbier worth the splurge.
