Should your child get the undivided attention of an instructor and achieve fast learning progress? Then our private ski lessons for kids & teens in Zermatt are a perfect choice - because in private lessons, our instructors can respond to each child individually. It doesn't matter whether your kid has never been on skis before or is looking to build on previous experience.
Our experienced ski instructors put together a suitable program based on your children's skills and needs. This way, strengths can be improved and weaknesses compensated. Of course, the children's wishes are also taken into account. No matter whether your child would like to ski on challenging slopes or off-piste, learn tricks in the fun park or improve their skills on the racetrack - our team accompanies the kids and supports them in their learning success. The instructors know the area and thus find the right runs for everyone, so that fun is not neglected alongside success.
The children can also share private lessons with up to three other friends or family members. Sometimes it's easier and more fun in a small private group - you decide how exclusive you want the lessons to be.
For even more exclusivity, we also offer a VIP unlimited service in Zermatt. With this option, you get to know your ski instructor the day before and plan your ski day together. You decide when and how much you would like your little ones to ski and where they should stop for lunch. Our ski instructors can give you the best tips.

We had Gio for 5 days with my 10 year old daughter who is an experienced skier. Gio was amazing, he guided us throughout the entire mountain and taught my daughter to begin to carve.
Tom instructor was very good
Terrific instructor! Lillie was great - the kids improved and our 5 year old wanted to ski with her again
