Snowboarding games can either be the most infuriatingly difficult games on the planet or create some of the coziest and zen-feeling titles available on the market. The Nintendo Switch has got both of these types of games in excess so here are the 5 best snowboarding games available to get right now on Switch.
#5 AXS
- Publisher: Max Interactive Studio Inc.
- Developer: Max Interactive Studio Inc.
- Platform: Nintendo Switch
- Release Date: March 12, 2021
AXS is the pure definition of a snowboarding simulator title. Packed with 9 unique characters and 20 levels to unlock you’ll find yourself conquering the world in real-life vistas like the Himalayas. You’ll have to collect stars and points by performing tricks while playing to get the best possible score possible.
#4 Snowboarding The Next Phase
- Publisher: RedBullMediaHouse

Red Bull seems to have a firm grasp on any sporting activity that shocks the world in one way or another. Snowboarding The Next Phase has ample content to dive headfirst (hopefully in this case board first) into. With a campaign, multiplayer, and arcade mode boasting 68 tracks, 500+ missions, and 300 collectible items there’s plenty to master in this title.
#3 Horatio Goes Snowboarding
- Publisher: Infinite State Games
- Developer: Infinite State Games

- Release Date: July 10, 2021
Having a bit more of an arcade feel to it, Horatio Goes Snowboarding can be liked to if Crossy Road gave you a snowboard and proceeded to shout “GET TO THE CHOPPER!” Buying your board, and running to the chopper to bring you to the slopes before plummeting down the summit has never felt so fun. Alongside this, there are also inbuild leaderboards to battle with your friends on.
#2 The Alto Collection
- Publisher: Snowman
- Developer: Team Alto, Serenity Forge
- Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

Simply stunning is how we’d describe The Alto Collection. This title will have you soaring through endless deserts taking in the sheer beauty of its landscapes. This is the perfect chill-out game for those who love a snowboarding, or in this case, desert boarding twist. With 120 levels, 360 goals, and 7 unique characters this is the perfect game to relax with at the end of a hard day’s work.
#1 Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderlands
- Publisher: Toppluva AB, Microïds

Described as “one of the most cozy games I’ve ever played” by Game Reactor we couldn’t agree more. Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderlands drops you right into a ski resort and allows you to explore at your own will. You’ll unlock new ski lifts to reach even higher areas to ski. You can also enjoy this in the wonderful setting of a local co-op session with up to 4 players.
