  We recently had two private half day lessons with Mike and could not recommend him enough.

We are intermediate skiers and were looking to improve our skiing technique, particularly... read more in relation to carving. Mike is very patient and very knowledgeable, and he gave us a lot of good tips to improve our skiing technique.

It was very easy to book lessons, we booked through the altitude desk in the Bernet Sports shop in Grindelwald.

  This is my second year of using Altitude ski school for my snowboard lessons and all I can say is unbelievable. I had two 2 hours lessons last year never... read more done it before this year had three 2 hours lessons and can now link turns on my tie and heel edges and stop safely on a red run this is all done to one person Jo my instructor. I asked for Jo again this year because she is a great coach very patient alot of fun but mainly she gives u great confidence very important when learning a new sport. Jo explains things very clearly and keeps u motivated I would highly recommend Altitude and especially Jo as your instructor for snowboarding or skiing thanks again Jo for being so patient while I was learning to link my turns I achieved what I wanted to achieve which was this so happy although I wont be back next year will definitely be back the year after and will ask for Jo to progress further good luck with the channel swim hope it all goes ok.

  A big thanks to Jo and Altitude for making this the best most enjoyable snowboarding week yet ! Jo was superb in explaining how to adjust my technique , encouraging... read more me to try new tips to allow me to tackle difficult Reds and Blacks by the end of the week. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to book a lesson with Jo, you will progress quickly and have a lot of fun at the same time..

  Absolutely superb ski school. My children and their cousin had a class (of 3) to themselves and progressed so well in their skiing; my wife had several lessons too... read more which were the best she has had since she started skiing a few years ago - taking her from struggling on blues to a standard where she could do some red runs - which was transformative for our family holiday. The Altitude team had a real family feel and looked after us all. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you so much.

  We are a family of 4 here in Grindelwald for the winter holiday . We had a few days snowboarding lessons with Jo. Jo is a fantastic coach and... read more great with children, we have all improved a lot with her teaching style, we wish we had found Altitude and Jo earlier .

  Amazing amazing Mike! The best lesson I’ve ever had. Been skiing many years and lost my mojo. Mike completely took on board my anxieties and very cleverly with his extremely... read more experienced background got me back to loving skiing in an afternoon! Very grateful to have met him and would highly recommend him to everyone!!!! Thanks mike...!

  Ski Lesson with Altitude on our trip to Gindelwald in December 2019. Great service by Altitude and especially Ben our instructor. Its amazing how much you learn in just... read more a 3 hour session. I was traveling with my brother who has a medical condition and Ben was patient and understanding and super helpful. I cannot recommend Altitude enough!

  My boyfriend and I booked 5-day snowboard beginner lesson during the Christmas week. The weather was miserable during the first two days and certainly not friendly for snowboarding beginners. Thanks... read more to our awesome instructor Jo, who is very professional, patient and encouraged us a lot. We managed to overcome the bad weather and were able to snowboard down on a red slope on the third day!
By the end of the lessons, both of us felt falling in love with snowboarding and will certainly keep working it out. Highly recommend Altitude if you don't known where to start with snow sports!
PS: one tip for snowboard freshmen: never let go your snowboard on piste! (Very appreciated to Jo helping me finding my board back from the deep snow :D)

  This is my first time snowboarding, and I had a 5-day lesson with Jo. It was a fantastic experience, and Jo was professional and kind. I would definitely recommend to... read more anyone who wants to get started with snowboarding!

  Jo is the best instructor I have ever met.
It is the first time I learn to play snowboard. As a beginner of skiing, Jo taught me patiently and described... read more the way of skiing precisely. Her words are precise and so easily understandable that I was able to ski from the beginning to the ending of the skiing court in the first day and to ski in the World Cup track by the second day. Under her patient guiding, my confidence and skill of skiing were built step by step so that it opens a new world, snowboard, for me.

  Highly recommend Altitude at Wengen. Instructors were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. On days with adverse conditions they went out of their way to ensure (where possible) we didn’t miss... read more skiing time. Huge thanks to Jason, whose positive, fun and intuitive coaching enabled everyone in our small group to progress at their own pace. While still at times taking us out of our comfort zone, always in a way that gave us confidence in our abilities. Altitude want you to get the most you can from your lessons while (safely) enjoying your experience skiing the runs. We all enjoyed our first blue run, especially stopping for hot chocolate and apple fritters at Brandegg. By the end of the week Jason had us all skiing together down the red run from Lauberhorn, something we would never have attempted alone as complete beginners. We had so much fun, thank you Altitude, see you next time...

  This was our 2nd ski holiday to Grindelwald with our 2 girls (aged 10 & 7) & also the 2nd time we have used Altitude Ski school.

I... read more have to say, as before, we were very pleased with the professionalism, friendliness & quality of teaching by the instructors at Altitude. Special mentions to Ellie, Hayley, Josh & Dominic for a great job. The girls thoroughly enjoyed their lessons & made impressive progress with their skiing during the week.

We also tried to book lessons under short notice for another member of our group, but due to illness had to cancel at the last minute. And Ben, the team leader at Altitude, was so accommodating & understanding. We would happily recommend Altitude as THE ski school to use when in Grindelwald, and will have no hesitation in booking with them again the next time we are back in Grindelwald.

  The owner was very helpful whilst I was emailing him to organise my lessons and also asking questions about Wengen. My snowboarding instructor Jo was so lovely, talkative, supportive and... read more made me feel comfortable and confident. I had two 3 hour lessons, 2 days in a row and felt I made huge progress considering it was my first time boarding.
I would love to have lessons here in the future maybe for skiing, and would recommend this to anyone!
HOWEVER for me being a student this was extremely expensive coming to around $360AUD per lesson, there should be a student discount or multiple lesson discount. I would have probably had a third lesson if there was some sort of deal.
Thoroughly enjoyed my lessons and I would say it was a highlight of my whole holiday.
