Luuk van Wijgerden

I have been skiing since i was a little kid and always loved winter sports holiday with my family. When i was around 12 years i tried snowboarding as well and from then i knew i wanted to be an instructor.

I studied sports eduction at college and from then grew a passion for snowsports and knew this was the job for me. I have now done 3 seasons of teaching in austria and this is my first year in Zermatt.

I love both sking and snowboarding but dont ask me which of the 2 i love more, because i cant choose.

In the summer

In the summer i like to keep my fitness up so i work as a personal trainer and a kitesurf instructor.

My Zermatt insider tip is:

Take the Matterhorn Express and head up to the viewing point on a sunny day and you’ll be sure to get some amazing views of the mountains.

If I wasn't a Summit instructor:

I would do another job that has to do something with sports

3 reasons to ski with me:

1. I am always energetic and bring that energy over in my lessons.

2. Most people say i am funny, so we will also have a lots of fun during our lessons.

3. I love teaching all different levels of skiing, so i can help with your first turns or teach anything from carving to short turns to bumps.
