Ski and Snowboard Lessons in Klosters

  Our kids had never skied before in their lives but after a few days they were skiing everywhere. Super nice and great teacher - the kids loved Matilda immediately, super... read more flexible and everything was easy for both kids and parents.

  Martine and I had the best 6 days ever. As a family we’ve used Altitude for years and all the coaches have been fabulous- but Martina stands out for me-... read more her fun, care and patience with me was superb. We did downhill and skinning- a new skill for me. Thank you

  Alberto Amati from Altitude was voted, hands down, our children’s favourite instructor! An excellent teacher, making everything seem easier than it might be, and lots of fun. He gave each... read more child the same level of attention and made sure they were all happy and progressing with confidence. Would definitely want to book Alberto again.

  5 stars! - We had Mathias Mundeling Christiansen (Danish) as our private instructor for 3 days in Verbier in Week 7. He was exceptional with our kids and he was very involved in... read more providing solid instructions and he really moved them up a few levels. He was also keen to take us around hidden and very interesting areas of the ski area to put our abilities into action. I can only give him our best recommendations!

  Outstanding - Martine is absolutely superb. Our children (4 and 6) made incredible progress in just one week. She is organised, safe, and has wonderful way of handling children and making them... read more motivated. and also a very talented teacher. Very highly recommended. Our children have come back having had fun, much better skiers and with a high desire to go skiing again.

  Best ski school in Verbier! - We had the most incredible experience with Altitude Ski School at Verbier!

My kids (8y and 11y) had ski instructors Oskar and Natalia. They were brilliant with kids!... read more They were patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and responsible! They were always willing to go the extra mile to help and it really made the experience unforgettable. Bonus point - Oskar and Natalia were great photographers too and they captured lots of fun memories of the kids skiing! Thank you Oskar and Natalia!

I would also recommend the instructors that I had for 5 mornings - Gina and Sammy. I’ve been trying to ski a few times before, however my fear of slopes always discouraged me before I’d even begun. After 5 mornings with Gina’s patience and clear instruction, combined with Sammy’s extensive expertise in teaching, I had just conquered this long-held fear and made enormous progress! I’m able to control my skis and no longer in fear. Thank you Gina and Sammy! I couldn’t have achieved this without you guys.

Can’t wait to come back again in March!

  Brilliant ski instructors - Emily P was an absolutely first class ski instructor on and off piste, and guide - including great insights into local life and where to have lunch, go out etc.... read more The best instructor my wife and I have had in many years of lessons and great fun company too - thanks for everything this week.
Peio took our two teenage sons for the week and did a superb job as well, they both made great progress thanks to his instruction and cheerful guidance.

  My daughter was reluctant to return to the slopes but had such a lovely time skiing with Patrick. He made progress with her technique and she finished her session on... read more a high.

  Myself and two friends booked Patrick for a week in Verbier. We went for level 4, advanced beginners but not quite intermediates. Patrick was a fantastic instructor for us and... read more what we wanted to achieve. He starts with good stretching exercises and has a good understanding of the right pistes to choose. He balances perfectly teaching the technical learning while also having fun and making it interesting. For the first two days we focused on technique on the blues around Chaud and then that really teed us from day 3 to advanced onto reds in a controlled way. He is good fun and we could have a chat and laugh on the lifts too. Thanks Pat and Altitude team!

  Great instructor - I had 3 lessons with Patrick which were really great - I felt safe, confident and my skiing improved. Patrick took care to explain techniques and corrected us but still... read more made it fun and took us on different lifts and slopes to build confidence.

  It’s been a week since I completed the AMP course and returned home from Verbier. And I can’t wait to come back!

I’m an intermediate skier and have been... read more stuck at a bit of a plateau. I love a cruise-y blue and an easy (and short!) red, but lost all confidence when things got steep. I would freeze and bumble my way down the piste. Spending a week focusing on technique and working to lose some bad habits was exactly what I needed!

Our instructor, Matthew, was able to connect with each of us in the group on a personal level based on what was working for us — tips, tricks and drills that were tailored to our individual learning and skiing styles. He took the time to get to know us so he could have that impact — it felt like private lessons. Having the full week together also definitely helped so we had time to work on things and build on the prior days. I came out of it a significantly more confident skier with much improved technique. I even ENJOYED skiing down a long black piste for the first time ever.

I’d highly suggest AMP if you’re looking to improve your skills — Verbier is gorgeous and the skiing is sublime, but giving yourself a full week in that setting to get better is an AMAZING way to spend a holiday. And I’d highly recommend Matthew for lessons regardless of whether you’re taking the AMP course or other lessons.

  Highly recommend. I had 4 days of private lessons with Ryan and made great progress - can't wait to return!

  My kids (5y, 7y) had ski lessons with the Ski instructor called Carèn for five days.
She was very lovely to then and it was amazyng how quickly they have... read more developed the ski skills.
I’m Brasilian, and Caren speaks really good portuguese, that was really helpfull for the litle one’s.
Well, I highly recomend her and the ski school!

  Had a refresher lesson with my family, taken by Matilda. She was brilliant at giving us all tips on how to improve our carving and made things very clear and... read more easy to follow, always checking that we all understood what we should be doing and feeling. We all came away feeling much better about our skiing technique.
Matilda was also very friendly and easy to talk to, would 100% recommend her and Altitude to anyone looking for lessons in Verbier!

  Avoid at all costs!! I signed up for private lessons as a complete beginner for a week in December 2022. On my first day, the instructor Ryan Wilding took me... read more from the beginner bunny slopes to a red slope, with absolutely no explanation of what to expect. I had just barely learnt how to turn on my first day skiing ever. When paying for a private instructor, I trusted his judgement.

As a result, I was not equipped to handle such a challenging run and lost control. I fell and severely dislocated my elbow, suffered an arm fracture and a torn ligament. I was airlifted by helicopter to the nearest hospital in Interlaken.

Ryan Wilding is incompetent and completely unfit to be a ski instructor as he has zero regard for student's safety. The school's manger Ben Patrick offered nothing by way of a refund for the lessons missed due to injury. He had a very casual attitude towards the incident.

This entire experience has left me in serious pain wearing a cast, along with several thousands in medical bills. I urge anyone looking to ski to book elsewhere where your safety will be prioritized.

  Altitude is awesome - Altitude is the best ski school in Verbier and Patrick is the best ski instructor. I was so lucky to get Verbiers only Irish ski instructor, so fun, so funny!... read more Highly recommended.

  Had been a while since I last skied so was great to have a lesson to regain my confidence! Euan the instructor was amazing, checking my ability and giving me... read more useful pointers to mean I made the most of my time on the slopes 😀

  We have had a fantastic 3 mornings of ski tuition with Ryan in Grindelwald. Brilliant instructor who helped our 10 year old skier enormously. All the ski instructors... read more listen to the children and give their tuition at the right level for the individual. They care about the children and make the skiing fun.
I would strongly recommend this ski school.

  Jordi Brusca at Verbier was an exceptional ski instructor providing excellent tuition tailored to my ability and targets. This was my first time skiing on the slopes and with Jordi's... read more expertise I was able to quickly boost my skiing and confidence. Jordi was very knowledgeable about the resort and carefully structured each lesson around my ability. By the end of my 1:1 tuition I was able to complete the black and red piste, which exceeded my expectations.

Jordi is a highly skilled and dedicated coach and I couldn't recommend more.

  Had a fantastic experience with Altitude. My daughter had lessons with Sophie which she absolutely loved. Sophie was great fun and really encouraging, making each lesson something to look forward... read more to. I together with two other adults had a couple of lessons with Josh who was great- good fun but also very encouraging and informative. We got a lot out of the two hour lessons. I would highly recommend Altitude in Verbier.

  Jason at Gstaad was excellent with our 3 children. Good fun and made a big difference to the children's skiing. Really good way of explaining his ski lessons.... read more Made for a great holiday - thanks!

We... read more split into two groups, so that we could get the most out of our time and differing abilities. Mike was brilliant in his explanations and really helped build confidence on the slopes across differing conditions. Mattheus provided challenging and fun routes for our more advanced skiers, whilst honing their technique further. Altitude elevated our ski holiday entirely and we even booked a further lesson that week. Highly recommended for all skiers visiting.

Their teachers are not only professional and incredibly prepared but also very kind and understanding. We never had a bad episode and I feel very relaxed knowing they are safely skiing with Altitude. I couldn’t recommend then more!
