What equipment do I need as a beginner?
As a beginner skier or snowboarder booking the lesson is only one part of what you need to get on the mountain.
Equipment
You will need to rent skis/snowboard and boots (also poles if you are skiing). These can be rented from any of the ski shops in town, but we would recommend Bayard Sport in the Coop Centre, near our office, they are really helpful, have a great range of kit and if you are a Summit client then there is a 20% discount.
Clothes
You will also need suitable clothes for being in the mountains. If you do not have your own then adults can rent clothes in Bayard too.
You will need to buy gloves, goggles or sunglasses, a helmet (which you can rent) and some warm layers.
Suncream is really important too so you don't get burnt!
Lift Pass
You will also need to buy a lift pass to get up the mountain. You can buy a pass for beginners only which is cheaper than for the whole ski area. The prices start at 56chf, for more information see the lift company website
