In our kids ski lessons in Zermatt, we welcome all kids aged 6 to 16 years, no matter what level. Beginners who want to learn their first steps on skis are just as well catered here as already advanced skiers who want to take their skiing skills to the next level.
Our qualified and experienced ski instructors divide your children into small groups with max. 4 participants per instructor according to age and ability at the beginning of the 5-day course. This way, the safety of your little ones is guaranteed as well as a rapid learning progress. In addition, it is easier and faster to learn in a group with like-minded peers. Fun is not neglected here, either.
Beginners learn the basics of skiing in a safe environment. In addition to schussing and riding in the plough position, correct body posture and taking lifts is also practised. Your children will soon be able to master their first blue runs in the plough and make turns. Already more advanced skiers focus on improving their technique and have the opportunity to go to the fun park as well as ski more challenging and mogul slopes.

Great ski instructor Alya!
Amazing lessons, we really appreciated the flexibility and patience of our brilliant instructor Mali! Our children absolutely loved time with Mali learning to ski. Thank you! Chloe
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
The groups consist of a maximum of 4 participants per instructor.
Beginners will learn the basics of skiing, including how to ride in a plough and use the lifts. More advanced skiers will focus on improving their technique and may get to ski in the fun park and on mogul slopes.
The meeting point from Monday to Wednesday is at the top of the Sunnega Funicular railway lift station. On Thursday and Friday, the meeting point is at the Furi Gondola station.
A minimum of 4 participants is required for the course to take place.
The lessons are designed for children aged 6 to 16 years.
