Had a great week of lessons with Jeronimo who was extremely knowledgeable and quality teacher. Thanks to him I am now a much better skier. The owner Ben was also very helpful and accommodating with booking lessons.

I'm so so happy with my experience with Alitude Ski school, if I could rate it 10/5 I would. My instructor, Anna Javorska was amazing, her patience and passion for teaching helped build my confidence and skills from level 1complete beginner to level 3/4. I was very scared and lacked confidence at the beginning but Anna's amazing teaching took my fears away and built my confidence up in just 5 half days! I highly recommend the school and especially Anna! Thankyou for bringing me into the joys of the skiing world!

I recently took my first-ever ski lessons, starting at level one, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience! At first, I was really scared, but thanks to my amazing instructor, Anna Javorska, I gained confidence and improved so much. Her patience, encouragement, and clear guidance made all the difference. Now, I’m already at level 2/3, which I never thought would happen so quickly! What felt like a miracle to me was that after just three half-days of lessons (having never worn skis before) Anna made it possible for me to go on a blue piste! I never imagined that I would actually look forward to my next ski school, but now I can’t wait to continue learning. I highly recommend this ski school, to anyone who wants to learn in a supportive and professional environment. Thank you, Anna, for making my first skiing experience such a great one!

I had a private lesson from Jeronimo and I loved it. He understands the weaknesses, explains everytime when something goes wrong. He gives good logic which is easy to follow. I was afraid of skiing before the lesson and he helped me like skiing again. Will definitely recommend him for private lessons.

Great experience at Grindelwald with Greg. He was great at spotting areas to improve right away with different drills and cues. Would highly recommend Greg!

Had a fantastic set of ski and board lessons for the family. Ryan and Nico were patient, skillful and great to spend time with, We really appreciated their care and the progress we made. Would 100% recommend and if we can get back to Wengen next year, we will go with them again.

My kids had lessons with Anna at Altitude. They had never skied before, but by the end of the week they were confidently zooming around. We're all big fans of Anna!

Fantastische ervaring met deze Skischool. Communicatie met Ben was zeer prettig en skileraar Mike verdient niets minder dan 5 sterren. Deze skischool werkt vanuit Kleinescheidegg, wat prettig is, omdat je dan zelf meteen in het skigebied bent. Ik raad Altitude Skischool van harte aan!

Thank you for the terrific service my daughters Isla (9yr old) & Mia (7yr old) received whilst attending Altitude in Wengen between the 16th – 20th February 2025. The whole experience couldn't have been better and the girls utterly loved going to ski school for the five mornings we booked. The size of their class enabled them to improve exponentially over the week we were in Wengen alongside the clear talent and expertise of their instructor Valerie. Valerie made their time much more than a lesson and the smiles at pick up and their excitement for the next day was delightful to see. I couldn't recommend Altitude and their instructors more. Bravo!!!

Excellent Ski Instructor I had an incredible experience with Nik (Nikolas Vasileiou) as my ski instructor at Altitude Ski School. After two days of private lessons (3 hours each day), I made amazing progress and gained much more confidence. He was an excellent teacher, both fun and instructive. His explanations were very clear and easy to follow. He guided me perfectly step by step, allowing me to progress quickly, as I gradually gained confidence and technique thanks to his great explanations and personalized practical exercises. I always felt very safe and calm thanks to his great competences, patience, kindness and cheerful guidance. The experience was well worth it. I highly recommend both Altitude Ski School and lessons with Nik. Thank you so much :)

Amazing experience - Outstanding Service It is difficult to put into words how much I wish to offer my thanks to Altitude Wengen and Nico ( Instructor) in particular for their amazing snowboarding coaching for my 8 year old on our recent trip to the Jungfrau region. All queries answered in advance by the office team - great communication from the team in Switzerland and then amazing coaching on the mountain. The team honoured their promise not to cancel lessons owing to small group size. Nico was absolutely brilliant with our child. He looked after her, kept her safe, kept us updated, communicated really well and gave her a love of snowboarding. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone thinking of learning how to ski or snowboard.

Wonderful Children’s Ski Lessons My son just enjoyed a fantastic set of lessons with Altitude. They were extremely helpful throughout the booking process, and the lessons themselves were both fun and challenging. My son started nervously, but finished with a massive grin on his face wanting to do more. Many thanks to Ben and the whole team, couldn’t recommend more highly.

Altitude ski school - fantastic for old first time skier! First time skiing at 56! Very nervous but Ben Patrick was a fabulous instructor. Calmed me down and super encouraging. Even guided me down a red route on the 4th lesson. Only 2 in the group with a maximum of 6. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience with Altitude! Wow - what an amazing week we have had thanks to the team at Altitude. Special mention to Mike who my two daughters (10 and 8) took to really quickly and loved his nurturing but stretching teaching style. Also shout out to Greg who developed my skiing at a great pace and quickly building my confidence. And finally thanks to Ben and the rest of the Altitude team for being so friendly and giving us hints and tips even when we weren’t in lessons.

Return to skiing after 5 year break I am 65 and had lost confidence in my skiing after a break of 5 years. Also not had lessons for years. Anyway, I am very happy to say, being taught by Greg for 3 mornings was a brilliant experience. He is such a great teacher and gave individual tips for achieving improvements in ski technique. Also he is a good psychologist and knows how to motivate you and encourage you to enjoy the sport.I would highly recommend a lesson with Greg. By the way he’s also a very nice, interesting guy. Thanks Greg! Sarah

Brilliant teaching Fabulous coaching from Greg. I hadn't been on a mountain for 35 years and am really pleased with the progress I made in a small group over 5 mornings. He built our confidence step by step and we had a wonderful time in an incredible location. Even more importantly I know what I need to work on next to keep improving. Would love to come back for more! Thank you.

Outstanding Teaching Staff I had 9 hours of private lessons with Sorcha at the Altitude Ski and Snowboard School in Grindelwald and I had the most incredible experience. I started as a complete beginner and not only can I now ski, but Sorcha made sure to make me feel confident and very safe at every moment. I am so grateful for such a patient and skilled ski instructor and would recommend her to anyone.

Our excellent ski experience with Coach Greg from Altitude Ski School It was the first ski experience for us in Europe and we were very lucky to have met Coach Greg from Altitude Ski school. Besides being an extremely patient teacher, he has a great sense of humour, full of life experiences and stories and a technically competent skier. It's great fun learning from him. An added bonus is his sense of safety. He takes great care of his students, especially young ones. If we ever come back to Switzerland for skiing, we will look for Greg again.
