For a first lesson, required rental equipment and a possible second practice session, expect roughly EUR 35 to EUR 110. Always check exactly what the provider includes in the price.
Do you need experience? No, choose a programme specifically aimed at beginners.
Do you have to buy equipment right away? Usually not; first ask about rental or loan equipment.
Can you do this alone? Yes, although a friend, team or small group often makes the first step easier.
