Our ski lesson was fabulous! David was so patient with us, and was an excellent teacher!! It was our first lesson skiing, we now know how to hold ski properly, how to break, turn and do all the moves. By the end we could ski in our own! Would highly recommend. We felt very safe and David tailored the lesson to our needs. 5*s

Trustworthy and patient. Vita has more confidence in me than I had in myself! She was very patient and kind with her words. Vita is really one of the best out there. My daughter learned so quickly under her guidance. Highly recommend!!

This experience was a blast! I was extremely nervous going into it, my instructor made me feel safe and courageous. By the end, I was skiing (a little sloppily) down a blue!!

Fabulous ski lesson!

Great reliable and awesome instructor!

Marlo_A, Apr 2025
Agostina was a great instructor she basically taught me the basics of skiing ! As I haven’t skied since I was little it brought back the memories of what was taught to me back then! But I really highly recommend this place for a great chance to ski the Swiss alps ! Especially the beautiful scenery of Matterhorn!

Excellent

Very cool for the first time. The instructor was very patient and pleasant. It's a shame that time goes by so quickly.

Excellent Ski Instructor Maya

AHSANALI_M, Dec 2024
Our instructor Maya was excellent. She was extremely patient and really helpful in guiding us through the basics of skiing. She answered all our queries which we had regarding our booking and ski rentals etc and she was very hands on with her guidance. Had a great time and will difinitely book again.

Highly recommend to anyone who could use a boost!

ANGEL_B, Dec 2024
Maya was great! Our daughter had never had a lesson previously though she’d been skiing a couple of times. We feel that she learned a lot and was more amenable listening to Maya than instruction from us.

Amazing experience

Michelle_C, Dec 2024
It was amazing! My trainer really put in the effort to make sure I feel comfortable and safe with skiing. He really helped me a lot to make sure I don’t hurt myself. Thank you Vebjørn!

Great experience for beginners. Two of us shown the basics. Would definitely recommend. Also would suggest to get some practice on dry slopes beforehand if you’re new and don’t live in a snowy country.

Cedric gave us confidence to tackle some of the harder slopes which helped open up the mountain. He was very knowledgeable and showed great expertise in a caring manner.

You’ll learn to ski in 3 hours if you have the best ski instructor!

Rhodegette_I, Feb 2023
Vebjorn is an amazing ski instructor! He is patient! And will really look after you if you fall like smashing your face to the snow. He checks what went wrong why you didn’t make it and tell you about it and giving you tips to get be reminded the basics! Thank you!

Well worth while

Tamara_G, Dec 2022
This was a wonderful introduction to skiing and the area. Vita, our instructor, got in touch the day prior and made a plan to meet us. She was extremely patient and caring with the whole family. She showed us where to go and gave us tips for the rest of our holiday in Zermatt. I highly recommend this experience.
