Ask your hotel or pop in and pick one up from us.

why book with summit?

There are lots of ski schools in Zermatt to choose from, here’s why we think you should book with us.

No hidden extra costs

Most schools charge a supplement when there are more than two people with the instructor…we don’t Our price is based on the length of the lesson. You can have as many people as you like with your instructor but if you are looking to make big technical changes we recommend no more than six.

Fantastic instructors

I’d like an introduction to off piste technique and to head off piste beyond the itinerary runs while learning how to use avalanche safety equipment.

Completely flexible

The amount of time you choose to take an instructor for is flexible, as are the meeting points and finish points. While we generally suggest meeting on the mountain to get the most out of your time with the instructor, it also works to meet at your hotel, the rental shop or anywhere else, if that’s what you would prefer.
