[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n_foF7d3nQA”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1747940385369{padding-top: 35px !important;}”]Snowbike-Fun is happy to announce to have successfully instructed Claudio, their 1st<\/sup> blind participant, on the snowbike. Claudio was delighted to be able to master the snowbike after such a short time and to make rapid progress immediately. See our video<\/p>\n

After a brief introduction by our Snowbike-Fun instructor, Claudio, along with his accompanying person, snow sports instructor Didier, and under the supervision of Snowbike-Fun, enjoyed the first half day to his fullest, cheering and laughing. He was continually delighted by the cool sports equipment, which opened up new possibilities for him in snow sports.<\/p>\n

Two days later, the next half day with Didier and Snowbike-Fun followed. A few weeks later, Claudio and Didier were out on their own. A complete success and lots of fun on the slopes.<\/p>\n
