Altitude Megeve Ski and Snowboard School

  Hands down, Andreas is the best skiing instructor that I have had. He takes the time to understand how you learn best and consequently adjusts his teaching style to suit... read more you. Moreover, he points out the best photo spots along the skiing route and proactively takes videos of your skiing. The videos not only record your incremental improvements but also capture invaluable memories. In short, he is simply outstanding.

  I had three half-day lessons with Andreas at the beginning of February. I felt that even in that short time I made great progress and was much more confident at... read more the end of my weekend's skiing than I had been when I arrived. Thank you so much!

  Great instructors, worth getting the train up to the top of the mountain in Wengen to have ski school up there. So pleased we booked with Altitude. David - hope... read more you're all recovered - thanks for your fantastic work with our girls!

  We’ve used Altitude for six years now and the kids continue to rave about the instructors and the skiing. Latest success was with Andreas who took them all over Verbier... read more and brought them back with big smiles (and exhausted). Highly recommend.

  Had an amazing group beginners ski lesson with Ben for a week. He was very supportive, kind and caring while getting us to feel confident to ski and we even... read more went up the mountain and had a go at a blue course. Would definitely recommend him and the company. Really well organised and amazing communication. Also the children’s ski lessons are really great too. The little one went from crying and being upset to loving going skiing everyday.

  As always we have returned for another year & used the ski school for our two boys both at different levels.
From meeting their instructor for the first time they... read more are full of energy & enthusiasm. The boys have loved their week made amazing progress & most importantly had fun!
Thanks to Oscar, Tansey & Ben Merrit for making it so special for them & easy for us as parents not feeling guilty having our own fun!
Highly recommend this professional set up with kids at the heart of what they do.

  I had 3 half days with him to improve my skills as an intermediate skier.
He is helpful and encouraging and I managed to do some off-piste which I... read more had never done before and it was exciting and a very good learning experience. I would recommend him definitely.

  Andreas is a great instructor, always encouraging. Had the best 3 days. I recommend him, u won’t regret it.

  Altitude ski was very easy and efficient to deal with. Their online reservation system is good and they were very responsive to communication. The best however was our instructor, Remy.... read more He was by far the best ski instructor we have had so far. (We are beginner skiers, but have had lessons in 4 different resorts- Grindelwald, Flims, Zermatt and now Verbier). Remy was super professional, friendly, and had the best advice on how to progress our ski technique, with patience and humor. We made great progress over 3 days. Thanks Remy, will definitely seek you out next time we are in Verbier.

  The ski school is fantastic. I highly recommend it. Everyone is super helpful. All financial transactions were super easy.
I took private lessons with Andreas. He is really good,... read more patient, pushes to do better but you know you’re always in a safe place. I saw dramatic improvement in the 2.5 days I took lessons. I highly recommend him.
My daughter (12) took group lessons and absolutely loved them. The school hires skilled and wonderful teachers.
We would definitely go back again!!

  A fantastic week with Altitude again. We were so impressed with Andreas - professional and experienced guide. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

  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.

  Had two mornings of individual lessons on piste/off piste with Andreas, which were excellent, albeit not inexpensive (like everything in Verbier).

  Ski instructor Andras Szecskay from Altitude was excellent. Patient and observant, he was able to teach us many techniques in 2 hours. Took us to the next level of skiing... read more without pushing. He spoke perfect English and has been in Swizerland for many years. Thanks for the lesson!

  I’ve just finished my 10 weeks Gap Course with Altitude in Verbier and it was a truly incredible experience !
I’ve had the 10 best weeks of my life.... read more The training we received was simply amazing. Our trainers (Harry and Adam) were dedicated and always fun to train with ! The course is everything you need if you want to become a ski instructor while having 10 weeks of fun and good times in Verbier !

  They will guide you to the best spots in the resort, always knowing where the powder is, and ready to give you that tip that can help you improve. Very... read more recommended.

  As a first time skier coming away with a group of advanced skiers, I was very nervous about whether I would enjoy or be any good at skiing.
... read more /> Marie B was very patient and explained everything so well. 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

  Our two children, aged 4 and 6, went skiing for the first time. They were scheduled in the Polar Bear group with Nessy as instructor. It proved to be quite... read more a challenge at first as the kids do not speak English, but Dutch only.

This however did not become an issue at all as the kids were having a lot of fun. Nessy made the lessons fun and got the kids so enthusiastic that they did not want to stop skiing at the end of the day.

I’ve seen the kids grow from not knowing what to do at the top of the kids piste to fearless skiing down the mountain and having loads of confidence in their abilities. And above all they had so much fun. I would recommend Altitude (and Nessy in particular) to anyone who looks for professional, enthusiastic, patient and fun instructors.
