“Although the weather forecast showed rain for the day, we still went on the hike, and it was so worth it! Luckily, the sun did come out, so don't let a little rain deter you because it most likely won't last all day. Robbe was amazing, supportive, and easy to hike with! The views were breathtaking, and the hike challenged my body in all the best ways. I'd definitely do it again.”
Private full-day ski coaching in Zermatt for up to four, with pickup, and a Matterhorn stop in Sunnegga.
“Our guide, Matt, was truly outstanding. He went above and beyond to navigate us through Zermatt, shared helpful tips throughout the day, and made the experience enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, patient, and personable—10/10, and we would absolutely book with him again. Unfortunately, our 2-star rating reflects the company’s organization and lack of transparency. The tour is marketed as a “VIP” guiding experience, but the logistics fell far short of that description. The Viator webpage provided very little practical information in advance. We were not told what lift tickets to purchase, where to rent equipment, or realistic rental costs. The listing stated “Ski & Snowboard Hire – estimated CH...”

“We spent a week in Zermatt and had two different guides (Maya and Kotryna). They were both incredible! I would highly recommend getting a private ski guide for at least your first day on the mountain. They were both so knowledgeable and took us on so many different lifts and runs. My son wanted to ski off piste and our guide took him on a safe trail, leading him in and out and over safe jumps! On one of the days my husband had a bad back and the guide helped to carry his skis. They also helped us with restaurant recommendations and making a reservation. We are so thankful…”
