Born to be wild!
Our friend – eagle «Tilla» – has been inspiring us since 2008 : Freedom and wilderness, high up in Zermatt’s mountains. Do you dream of a wide horizon, free of rush hour? Like an eagle’s wings flapping winds, you listen to the music of the sky! Come with us, join the Adventure Zermatt at our School. Not only light, fun and sun, let’s meet and share eternity!
Born to snowdance!
Did you know that our mountains are also a huge Dance Hall? – Every human is home to rhythm, flowing movement and grace! You may also be a natural born dancer! Snow is ideal for dancing. Being so soft, a fall is like never dramatic: So ready, steady, go! – Discover how to become free to move, confident in yourself!
Why Adventure Zermatt
Some may say: We’re different. From whom or what? For sure we have no money in our eyes like many McDucks not only in Duckburg!
We are people who really love the mountains, to share our great passion. You may also learn technical skills from other experts. But the process of learning is an individual one and needs our full attention and empathy: What’s your best way to learn to become a master, too?
Meet our team
We speak English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian!
We and the legends
As teenagers we attached them on the wall. We were sitting every weekend to watch them in TV. I still do so for most of the races. What an impact have our legends! Some of them are still running. The majority is retired. Maybe forgotten by the general public. But we keep them in mind. So we want them remind! Because they were the reason that we became what we are – true afficionados on skis or snowboard! That’s why we are instructors. There is no teacher without his personal legend in his soul! – We learned once from them what we teach you now!

«I love about teaching that I can share my own enthusiasm for snowboarding and skiing, using also my language skills*! * Indeed, Michu reads in the original the 'Code of Hammurabi', former King of Babylon (1792 to c. 1750 BC.)! – Sure, he doesn't share at all its terribly strict spirit!»

«I look for freedom in elements we find in nature. I feel alive when I move through them. This is also my message in my teaching and friendship with my guests!»

Every beginning is difficult. But: “There is a magic in each beginning” (Hermann Hesse)
In between, you can take your first steps into the adventure on snow. Children find it easier. Adult beginners or returning skiers are more hindered by fear. We are specialists in this area. You won’t be afraid! How come? We’ll tell you on slope! As our school’s name “Adventure Zermatt” says, we keep surprises for you until we practice. But we’ll tell you this: We also teach blind people!Cancellation rules

Every person is also a “homo economicus”. As Bill Clinton’s strategist James Carville said: “It’s the economy, stupid.” – If you divide the price of a “Group lesson” by the number of people, we understand that well. But sometimes the guest doesn’t have the teacher on his bill – his full and undivided attention. Which is what makes you learn much more quickly!

You remember the eagle “Tilla”. There are many other wild animals on the roof of Europe. We have to respect their territory! But we may follow a bit on their tracks. Get a feeling of what’s wildlife in the mountains: Another space, another language, the eternal silence! We will bear witness!
While we experience the secrets of the wilderness ourselves, we are walking a bit on the wild side! But don’t worry! A wise guide knows how to navigate the boundaries but also that breaking a bit through brings people together. No matter what, our responsibility towards our guests is to always remain on the safe side! Only for advanced skiers or snowboarders!
As we ski mostly off-piste, we need to rent some avalanche protection equipment separately. We have arrangements with our local partner sport shops.

“Safari” usually reminds of Africa. Indeed, every winter again our mountains get covered with rose sand from the Sahara Desert carried by siroccos. And in antic times Hannibal crossed the Alpes not far away with elephants on his way from Carthage to Rome. However, we cross the border between Switzerland and Italy on fast skis on the world’s longest slope (25 km) from the storm wind-exposed and polar-cold top “Little Matterhorn” (Switzerland, 3,883 m / 12,739.5 feet above sea level) to the spring-like warm and charming Valtournenche (Italy, 1,524 m / 5,000 feet). Our legs are burning a bit and you will sleep tight in the night!

Once a racer, always a racer! You will not understand that unless you have experienced it! Outsiders usually think it’s all about competition. But the fight against time, for the shortest distance between the gates, the quickest reaction in the forest of poles is a high form of autodidactic school for life. It’s about challenging oneself and about the fire of passion, happiness, discipline and improving one’s performance. “Adventure Zermatt” has a broad range of equipment for race training and is ready to organize club and company races for you in cooperation with Zermatt Bergbahnen.

Have you ever thought about welcome greetings, about real smiles that brighten up the mood of people arriving instead of fake ones that keep them at a distance? There is also a difference between getting a table exposed to sunlight or wind respectively. In the case of Slopes ’n Dishes, it’s all about a place in the sun for your fun – with exciting slopes and about the best food in Zermatt and Cervinia: State of the art – the art of life. Some are craftsmen, some are artists. We have the culinary alchemists at hand that will do the culinary masterpieces for our guests. Their magic will be a long-lasting memory even for spoiled gourmets.

We are quite experienced with Adaptive Teaching. For years, I used to guide a blind German Ministry official. You cannot imagine how fast we skied down nonetheless, overcame even black diamond slopes in full security and with only the help of my finely tuned voice orders in his back.As we do not own any equipment by ourselves, we need your reservation at least one month prior.
