Like a phoenix from the flames, The Swiss Ski School has risen from the ashes to become one of the best places to take lessons in Zermatt. Indeed, it was once known as the worst ski school in the area – but that’s all in the past. Now it offers excellent ski- and snowboard instruction courtesy of young, enthusiastic staff. It is by far the largest of Zermatt’s ski schools, and is good for group lessons and off-piste tuition.
