Our Ski Schools in Switzerland

  Fantastic ski school in Verbier, Switzerland and couldn’t recommend them more highly enough. I initially had a couple of ski lessons with Altitude during a trip with friends a few... read more years back. A few years later I returned with my son so that he could learn to ski and we have booked lessons twice a year with Altitude ever since. Adam Russell has been teaching us both since the outset and is a highly skilled and dedicated instructor. I started to learn how to ski in my 40’s mainly to accompany my young son at the time and despite being a very nervous skier, Adam has always been extremely conscientious and keen to help me overcome my fears. Nothing is ever too much trouble for him and as a very highly skilled instructor, who also teaches new instructors, he is well suited to teach all levels of skill from newbies to advanced levels. If you’re looking for a ski school in the Alps, Altitude Ski School is the absolutely the perfect choice.

I fell over ALOT and Marie never seemed frustrated or annoyed, and changed her teaching style and method to suit what my legs were up to. Marie’s encouragement and caring nature got me back on the slopes day after day, and by the time I actually ‘got it’ I felt such an amazing sense of achievement.

Aside from skiing, Marie’s local knowledge was incredibly helpful and really helped our holiday.

I can’t thank Marie enough for teaching me a new skill, and for encouraging me to keep getting up time and time again. I had a great week skiing, and can’t wait to get back on the slopes next winter!

Thank you

  We booked 2 ski instructors for our New Year visit - one for our 11 year old (Matilda) and one for our teenage sons (Andreas). Both spoke excellent English and... read more were really friendly. The reason we keep returning to Altitude is that they always seem to match the instructors to our needs - the level of our skiing, the type of skiing we want to do etc.

While our recent experiences have been private instructors we also used the group classes when the children were smaller. These were also excellent.

The only downside is the cost - but that is a reflection of skiing and Switzerland in general. Compared to other companies they seem at a similar level.

  I had an amazing experience with Damien who taught me how to ski! It was great!! He was patient, and encouraging, and it helped me overcome my fear.

  Excellent expérience tailored to our needs. Noticeable improvements in skiing achieved.
