Program

Your First Snow Experience starts on the Theodul Glacier - right on the border between Switzerland and Italy. The meeting point is at the ZERMATTERS store on Testa Grigia in the morning, where you will meet your ski instructor and start your snow adventure together. First, the ski equipment is prepared before the lesson begins.

In small groups, you will learn the basics of skiing: from your first gliding attempt to braking techniques and your first controlled turns in easy terrain. The focus is on a safe, motivating introduction - adapted to your speed and level.

The course takes place on a daily basis and can be booked flexibly on several days - with no obligation for a fixed course duration. This allows you to shape your learning success according to your own needs.
