What our customers say about our ski school
EXCELLENT Based on 145 reviews Posted on Ellis Davey14 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was an amazing snowboard instructor, helped a lot with my confidence, and improving my skills, whilst also providing an overall fun time!Posted on Emer Bollinghaus10 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our kids had a very positive experience, doing group ski lessons with Altitude. They improved their skills and also enjoyed themselves. The lessons were a good mixture of working on technique, doing some challenging skiing, and also doing some fun skiing. They can’t wait to return, next ski season.Posted on Graham Connolly27 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Victoria was a brilliant instructor. Technically one of the best I have had over many years, but also great at communicating her instruction as well as a very nice person who made sure we were all happy and enjoying the lesson. Highly recommended!Posted on Nina Emily27 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend and I had two boarding lessons with Ben and we had the best time. As complete beginners we felt confident after our two lessons to head down runs on our own, Ben didn’t overwhelm us with information and made sure we were having fun whilst making progress. Definitely recommend!Posted on Ben Saldivar21 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent snowboard lesson with Ben. Within the first hour of the lesson I was having more fun on a snowboard than I have in my last 2 trips. I have snowboarded for 10 years and felt like I improved my boarding by 100% inside the 3 hour lesson with some simple tips. Highly recommendPosted on Mariam Loh15 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had 5 days of lessons with Rosie. I was a complete beginner and my experience was incredible. She was so attentive, easy to get on with and really enthusiastic. I felt very comfortable and learnt how to ski a lot faster than expected as well. High recommend her! If you are a beginner, I think its best to confirm with your instructor before buying a lift pass, as I was able to go on the mountain quicker than I expected and did not need one on the beginner slope for my first day.Posted on Noah Pedersen11 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Flemming was a great teacher and a great guyPosted on Chris Liger11 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mon cher Dorian, Ski ability: 4/5 Flex ability: 5/5 Explain ability: French Belt ability: N/A Merci mon pot! <3 :)Posted on Sofia Ross11 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best trainer Flemming. The guy, the myth, the legend!!!!!!Posted on Cornelia Stegger11 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with Dorian as my ski coach for my BASI lvl 1 & 2 training! He is incredibly knowledgeable and confident in both his skiing and coaching, which made me feel comfortable and motivated throughout my lessons. His clear instructions, patience, and ability to break down techniques helped me improve significantly🙌🏻
EXCELLENT Based on 149 reviews Posted on Edward O12 April 2025Verified Great experience We used Altitude ski school and had Rosie as an instructor for our 7 year old girl. My daughter really enjoyed her time with Rosie who made it fun as well as learning how to ski!Posted on rob r5 April 2025Verified Grindelwald - Altitude Ski Lessons. AMAZING ! Went to Grindelwald ,Kleine Scheidegg.4 days of lessons.. what a pleasure. Ryan was our tutor, we were lucky to have him for myself and my son. Ryan was fabulous and made it so easy and with with no tree. It was my son's first time skiing, so was a little worried. BUT Ryan was great with him, and me. a total pleasure. Cant wait to go back next year with same team. ThanksPosted on Ronnie v29 March 2025Verified A little ski addict is born! Our 4 y/old daughter had her first ski experience in the mountains with Altitude in Zermatt. She had the most amazing time with ‘Juf’ (teacher) Saar Jacqueline. A little ski addict is born with Saar’s help, riding the red slopes at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend Altitude and Saar Jacqueline!Posted on Sunshine283262824391 March 2025Verified Professional, safe and very friendly We have been regularly skying with Altitude since 2007 and have always been delighted. Teachers are highly qualified professionals, very friendly and helped us progress steadily. They know Verbier's domain perfectly and always know about the overall conditions - weather, quality and quantity of snow, places to go to avoid the crowd during the high seasons, while ensuring our safety. They can accommodate and adapt to all kind of situations. Martina and Remy have been teaching ski to my son since 2015 with talent, patience and real kindness. They have also managed to correct from top to bottom my posture and technique that I had developed on my own without any class over the years. Having booked ski lessons for more than 10 seasons and intending to continue doing so, we strongly recommend Altitude.Posted on Laura N1 March 2025Verified Great school and energy :) Ania and Simone were amazing ! Taking great care and always smiling while teaching our two boys - 3 and 5 years old ! Boys had a lot of fun and can now ski down blue and red slopes :) highly recommend!!Posted on Samantha K27 February 2025Verified Ski school kid lessons Thanks to the morning lessons our kids went from the bunny slope to skiing with us all around verbier, they became very confident skiers and loved their time here Shout out to Natalie for having incredible patience with themPosted on Una M25 February 2025Verified Excellent ski school Our 4 children were split between 2 ski groups with instructors Valdemar and Julian for 5 days full day lessons with Altitude Ski in Wengen. All 4 of them had a fantastic week - Valdemar and Julian were both exceptionally kind and patient as well as being excellent teachers. The children had a lot of fun and enjoyed every minute - we even had to sign up for an extra half day for the youngest as he didn’t want to miss any chance to be out with his ski group. Thank you Valdemar and Julian. We will definitely be using Altitude again.Posted on David M24 February 2025Verified Memories of a lifetime! Our family came back this February for our annual Verbier trip and Altitude ski school exceeded our expectations! Most notably was Rosie who took our 6 yr old from a beginner to jumping up 3 levels by the end of the week. She went above and beyond by taking great care of him, giving him confidence and most importantly having genuine fun! He didn’t mind the extra runs at the end of the day that Rosie took him on either(even though you were not obligate to do so). 100% booking with Altitude and Rosie better be there next year : )Posted on Andy B24 February 2025Verified Excellent, friendly instructors Just returned from our third successive year in Grindelwald. The Altitude team have been great with our children, now 14 and 12 years old, every year. The instructors have all been really friendly and encouraging, and have responded to both children’s needs, resulting in them loving their skiing and becoming good skiers. Small class sizes mean each child gets personalised advice. My wife and I have also had a couple of private lessons each year, which has improved our skiing and enabled us to cover many of the region’s runs. Highly recommended.Posted on Victor C24 February 2025Verified Best ski coaching This year was a reunion for my 17 year old daughter with her coach Martina Corsand. It was a 5 Star experience both fun and instructive with tremendous progress in her ski technique and confidence. Highly recommended.
