Summit was the first place to offer ski lessons in Zermatt, and its success is down to its founders Henry Hardy and then-girlfriend Erica. Together they created a formidable team and have injected new life into ski teaching in the resort. With top-level British instructors – as well as Swiss and Italian, too – its focus is on small groups and one-on-one tuition. As you’d expect, only the latest techniques and training systems are employed.
