Swiss Snow League
Learn how to ski or snowboard with the Swiss Snow League.
Discover the richness of the snow sports through the leagues and improve your skills.
The Swiss Snow League is the official medal and test system of the Swiss Ski Schools. A progression that you can find in each of the 172 Swiss Ski School.
Through the Swiss Snow League, you learn skiing and snowboarding, in private or in groups. At each stage, a medal will reward the student’s progress. The Swiss Snow League will follow your children from the snowgarden to the highest levels such as competition, freeriding or freestyle.
Your child is taking a class again? Easy & practical: a notebook lists his progress and allows you to easily register it in the next level.
You will find all the medals and their requirements in detail and in video in the link below.
