Important:

Limited number of Airboards

As the Airboard is a brand new tool in Switzerland, we had problems to get them. We were only able to get 25 boards, directly from the guy who invented them. This means, two people have to share a board. While your airboard partner is boarding, you can enjoy the Glacier Fun Park. However you can try to rent an Airboard yourself.

Glacier

Remember, we will be on a glacier. It is a high alpine enviroment: There might be glacier gaps, the weather can change quickly. Therefor: Never ever leave the marked slopes!

Safety on Airboard

Please check the safety recommandations for the Airboards: Safety on Airboard
