Meeting Point on the Day
On the morning of your fullโday lesson, we meet where itโs most convenient for you and your group:
- At your accommodation

- If youโre renting equipment on the day, we can meet at the rental shop, check everything is perfect, and then head to the lifts from there.

How a FullโDay Lesson/Guiding with Me Works
Every day is tailored to you, but here is how a typical fullโday experience usually unfolds.
Morning: Meet, WarmโUp and Head to the Mountain
- We meet at your preferred location and time (usually around 08:30-09:00).
- We make sure everyone is comfortable, properly dressed and has the right equipment and lift pass.
- We travel up the mountain together in the lifts, already talking through the plan, conditions and what you want to achieve.
OffโPiste & Safety Sessions
If weโre skiing offโpiste:
- We start with safety checks of all equipment (avalanche gear, backpacks, bindings, helmets).
- I go through the rules and safety guidelines for the terrain weโll be using that day.
- Throughout the day, Iโll manage route choice and conditions, so you can focus on enjoying the snow and scenery in a safe, controlled way.
Guiding & Local Expertise
If the focus is guiding:
- I use my 10 years of local knowledge to show you the best runs, viewpoints and hidden corners of the Matterhorn ski paradise.
- As we ski, I share the stories and insider information about Zermatt, the mountains, and the places we visit โ making the experience more than just skiing from A to B.
- We adjust the pace and difficulty throughout the day to match how you feel and the conditions.
Technique Coaching & Video Analysis
If the focus is improving your technique:
- We start with a gentle warmโup to understand your current level and style.
- Using video analysis and my 10 yearsโ experience as a ski coach, we break down your turns and quickly identify the key changes that will make the biggest difference.
- We work through targeted drills, clear feedback, and practical cues you can remember, so by the end of the day you feel more confident, controlled and efficient on your skis.
Lunch at the Best Spots
If youโd like, weโll be booked into one of the best mountain restaurants, where we can enjoy lunch together and take in the views.
- We choose a restaurant that suits your taste and group: relaxed familyโfriendly, fine dining, or classic alpine style.
- Lunch is a chance to review progress, talk through the plan for the afternoon and simply enjoy the atmosphere.
Afternoon: More Skiing, Guiding or Coaching (Plus AprรจsโSki if Desired)
- After lunch, we continue with guiding, coaching or offโpiste, depending on your preferences and energy.
- If the day calls for it, we can also visit an aprรจsโski spot at the end of the skiing to celebrate a great day on the mountain.
End of Day: Return & DropโOff
- As the lifts close, we finish with a final run and recap what youโve achieved.
- I can accompany you back to your accommodation or help organise a taxi to take you there, so the day ends smoothly and comfortably.
