It's great to have a website dedicated to important communications and everything you need to know about the ski school. It helps both instructors and clients navigate the ski school, both organizationally and in terms of reliability and professionalism.

The only downside, in my opinion, is the complex design of the menu interface, which isn't particularly intuitive, although this is a problem that resolves itself with consistent use of the website.

We had a wonderful experience with both our children (9 and 5); the school (and particularly Prem) is responsive, organised and flexible when required. We have found every teacher to be very kind and friendly which has made the whole difference!

Top! I've been using them for over two years, and the results are incredible. At 40, and afraid to let go of my board, it was a real challenge for me. But Nicola is the best! Technique, talent, and kindness: he helped me push my limits. If you want real results, trust him and Giorgio Rocca's school! And Veronica is second to none for all the office management: always available and smiling. I adore you!

Marco is the man! To say my friend and I had an extraordinary time would be an understatement! He is incredibly skilled and patient - and also kept me relaxed.

We had the best time today and want to come back to take lessons again. So happy with this experience, thanks to Marco! He came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation for being the best.

Why Learn Paddleboarding With A Local?

For us, stand-up paddleboarding in St. Moritz isn’t a trendy sport; it’s how we enjoy the peace of our home lake during the alpine summer. Learning here combines a gentle core workout with real mountain mindfulness. By booking with us, you aren’t getting a textbook lesson; you are sharing the lake with people who know exactly how it behaves throughout the day.

“We teach you proper, easy technique so you can lift your head, breathe the fresh mountain air, and glide along the water without overthinking it.”

What To Expect From Us

  • Patient, clear coaching that values confidence over rush
  • We schedule lessons only when we know the water is best
  • Hands-on guidance for true stability and core comfort
  • Quality local gear: stable boards, proper paddles, and safety advice
  • Flexible meeting points and warm local hospitality
  • A relaxed, friendly environment that values the experience

Friendly Coaching For All

Getting Started Safely

If it’s your first time, don’t worry. We work through balance on the water together. Learn to comfortably stand, use the paddle efficiently, and understand how to navigate safely in calm morning conditions without any pressure.

Improve Your Glid

If you already paddle but tire quickly, let us refine your technique. We focus on natural power transfer from your core, efficient forward strokes, smoother turning, and paddling comfortably over longer distances.

Explore The Lake

For experienced paddlers, we offer scenic sunrise tours or can analyze your biomechanics to maximize speed and efficiency. Learn step-back turns or just enjoy a fitness session at high alpine altitude.

Learn With Experienced Local Guides

Our instructors combine professional certifications with a lifetime of experience on Lake St. Moritz. We explain the biomechanics of paddling naturally and simply, focusing on rhythm and balance. Safety is always our primary concern, but we ensure the atmosphere remains light and genuinely supportive.

Experience Our Lake Just Like We Do

Lake St. Moritz is situated at 1,800 meters. The air is fresh, and the mornings are peaceful. Paddling is about connecting with nature in a quiet way. A local guide can take you to the quiet corners, show you how the mountains look as the sun hits them, and ensure you truly feel the tranquil energy of the Engadin high-alpine environment.

Hands-On Local Paddle Sessions

We keep our lessons flexible to match your mood and physical comfort. Whether you want careful 1-on-1 technique work, a fun family lakeside group, or just a guided early morning tour before the town wakes up, we listen to what you want to achieve and organize the time to fit.

Ideal For:

  • Families looking for a fun lakeside morning activity
  • Beginners seeking patient guidance on how to balance
  • Travellers wanting a genuine, quiet alpine experience
  • Experienced paddlers wanting to polish technique or core fitness
  • Fitness enthusiasts looking for low-impact alpine training

Authentic Summer Memories For Your Stay

A summer stay in St. Moritz is defined by how you spend your mornings. For us, paddling represents tranquility, health, and appreciation for this incredible natural environment. We take pride in sharing our passion for Lake St. Moritz and the Engadin in a warm, authentic way. If you want a genuine lakeside experience and helpful local coaching, our school delivers a memorable outdoor adventure from start to finish.

Let’s Get You On The Water
