Spend the day with someone who knows where the snow’s good, where to eat, and how to make the most of the biggest ski area in the Alps
Plenty of the people who ski with us are already strong skiers. They might not want teaching. What they want is someone who knows Zermatt inside out, which runs are to ski in the morning, which to skip when the crowds are in, and where the snow stays good after a busy day.
That’s guiding. You get one of our experienced instructors for the whole day, building it around whatever you want it to be. They’re all qualified, so if you do fancy sharpening something up along the way, just say so.
Your guide will be one of Summit’s experienced and long standing instructors. As well as showing you the best of Zermatt’s slopes and gastronomy, they can also give you a few tips to improve your ski technique if you wish.
At the lift to save time, at your hotel, or at the rental shop if you’d like a hand choosing the right skis. Your call.
Whether it is just for you or your whole family with friends joining after lunch we have no restrictions (or extra charges!) for the number of people skiing with a guide.
Zermatt is one of the biggest, highest ski areas in the Alps, and that’s a lot of map to work out on your own. Your guide already knows it: where the corduroy lasts longest, which side of the valley to ski as the sun moves round, the yellow itinerary runs most people walk straight past, and how to stay a step ahead of the crowds on a busy Saturday.
Zermatt takes mountain food seriously. Most of the restaurants up here are small, family-run and properly good, from the sunny terraces above Findeln to long lunches across the border in Italy. The good ones fill up. Your guide knows which one’s right for the day and books the table before you’ve thought about it.
Not many places let you ski into another country for lunch and be back by the afternoon. From the top of the Theodul you drop into Cervinia on the Italian side, where the food is excellent and the prices are a pleasant surprise. It’s one of the best days Zermatt offers, as long as you get the timing and the weather right. That’s the guide’s job. You just ski.
A full day opens up the whole ski area. Perfect your technique, chase the itineraries, ski over the border for lunch in Italy, or all of it. Our No Limit day is exactly what it sounds like: you choose when you start and finish, and you can ski until the lifts close. It’s the one for people who don’t want the day to end.
