Families in the western Bernese Oberland also benefit from the learning areas, which also include a range of easy slopes. Children easily and playfully learn how to ski or handle their snowboard and even make their first turns. Young children, for example, gain their first experiences at Snowliland in Zweisimmen, Schönried, Saanenmöser or Gstaad. Afterwards, the T-bar lifts are no longer an obstacle. Whether alone or with the local ski school – thanks to the learning parks, the whole family is on the slopes in no time. Next stop – Snow Park or a black run?
