Can a private lesson help me get to know Zermatt?

Yes. A private ski or snowboard lesson can combine improving your technique with learning your way around the mountain.

Your instructor will start by understanding your ability, confidence and what you’d like to achieve. They’ll choose suitable runs and help you develop your skills as you ski or ride.
You might want focused help with a particular technique, more confidence on unfamiliar terrain, or a better understanding of which parts of Zermatt suit your skiing or snowboarding. Your lesson can include all of these.

A full day gives you more time to learn across different parts of the ski area. If your ability, conditions and lift openings allow, that could include skiing or riding over to Cervinia in Italy.

Tell us what you’d like from your time on the mountain and we’ll help you choose the right lesson and instructor.
