Ski and Snowboard Lessons in Verbier

  I started my first ever Ski lessons in January 2019 and I was lucky being arranged with a superb coach Remy Guillaume through Altitude Ski and Snowboard School. After that... read more trip, I had booked over 100 hours with the same coach through the ski school until now. Wish I could be back there soon.

  Excellent expérience tailored to our needs. Noticeable improvements in skiing achieved. Felt safe and capable with the ski guide at all times and without realizing it along the way managed... read more (thanks to very personal approach to explaining and practicing) to fulfill some impressive goals on and outside of slopes.

  I took a few ski lessons with Rémy and made great progress. Rémy is a very patient and experienced instructor. The lessons are varied with tailored exercises.

  Great season on the Altitude Futures work and train ISIA course. Brilliant coaches with Sammy and Alex leading the training program catering for all and they really developed my skiing... read more well beyond what I originally expected for taking the BASI level 3 exams at the end of the season. Awesome group of people around and plenty of support throughout with COVID and Brexit happening too. Can’t wait to be back in Verbier next season to hopefully carry on with the Altitude team.

Fabulous service from start to finish .
I contacted Altitude to book lessons before I left GB and immediately felt confident that I was going to get... read more a great service. The staff were helpful and friendly.
My instructor was Laura Heath and she was amazing. I was very nervous but Laura took lots of time to put me at ease and help me relax. Having never put a pair of skis on previously I was doing blue runs by the end of the holiday. Laura was knowledgeable about the resort and the right runs for me to try. The groups were very small and well matched. I would recommend Altitude and especially Laura to anyone wanting to either learn to ski or improve their skiing.

  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.

  Our first time with Altitude in Verbier, but definitely not the last. Our 4 year old daugther had 1:1 lessons with Alvaro and what an experience. Being new to skiing... read more she wasn’t thrilled about going, but with lots of play, training drills and snowman building Alvaro managed to make it fun and capture her interest. So much that she after just 4 days went from the kids ski slope to completing a red piste all by her self. Super impressive and it exceed our wildest expectations. We are already looking forward to come back next year and can highly recommend Altitude and Alvaro.

  Brilliant lessons with Alvaro, and have recommended him loads! Great fun, learned loads and really improved my technique.

  Altitude ski school, is the best school to do your GAP course with!
All the trainers with Altitude, are extremely knowledgable and experienced with skiing and this shines through... read more when skiing with them; Sammy, Adam and Alex are very good at what they do and a pleasure to ski with and learn from!

Thank you,
Cam.

  I trained this season for my level 3 instructor qualification with Altitude, and I couldn’t be happier I picked them (there’s a lot to chose from in Verbier!).

  So I had this crazy idea at age 28 that I wanted to try skiing for the first time...I am not an amazing athlete by any stretch, so I was... read more very nervous. But in a few hours, Badin taught me how to stand, stop, and steer on the skis. He helped me ski down a slope, which I never thought I could do. He was so positive and helpful when I was learning the different techniques. I am absolutely amazed by what a phenomenal teacher he is and I hope one day I can take lessons from him again!!

  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 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).
