    • Off-Piste (Ski Facts)

      We have teamed up with Zermatt's first British ski school to offer high quality instruction with instructors fluent in English, and classes of no more than 6.
      Intermediate & advanced skiers should try the one day technical refresher course. This session will give you a technical boost to kick start your holiday, and get you back on the runs you were doing last year (Sunday 9.00am-4.00pm, £96 per person).
