We loved the School(thank you Mike). Small groups, great techers, and everyone spoke english. So much better (and cheaper ) than the Swiss Zermatt School, which we used to goto every year, as we did not know about the Summit Ski school. Now we will alwyas go with Summit. We learned somthing new each day. Many thanks.
My two teenage sons and I had 4 private lessons with Dave F over Christmas . Thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions and we all felt that we had learnt a lot from Dave's careful tuition. Lessons were a great balance between theory and practice. Just what we all needed. Cannot wait to get back on the skis again.
Didn't get lessons with summit, but myself and my partner were struggling in the snow today and a top bloke from summit came over at rothorn and helped us up the hill.Didn't catch the blokes name, but he was really kind and offered us some skiing advice.Will definitely go with them in future.
Had 3 private sessions with Paul for myself and 14 year old son. Paul essentially guided and trained as we went on my ageing style and a little bit of off- piste and freestyle tricks for my son. As an old duffer I'm afraid I need to understand the science and Paul was able to provide this in spades. Great days and skills improved to boot! Do it and enjoy. These guys will tailor to your exact needs, including changing as you go.
Max 6 in a class our granddaughters made a huge improvement. Their instructor, Sarah, was great & also made it such fun too. She alternated the order they skied behind her, so that the slowest wasn't always the last. A handwritten report for each child at the end of the week. Highly recommend.
This was our third year taking lessons with Summit. The best solution if you are a couple or family where skiers are at different levels. The staff really works hard to make sure you have a great experience. While theoretically class sizes max at 6, it's often the case that there are only 2-3 in the class ( if there are 2 it's a two hour lesson, with three it's a three hour one.) having morning lessons allows everyone to meet for lunch and ski the rest of the day together, a much better solution than the other ski school offering full day group lessons to adults. I also took a private lesson with Paul which gave me the confidence to ski at the correct level in a group (the boys did ski much faster than the girls making keeping up a bit of a struggle!) Some may wonder why we take lessons when making major changes this late in the game is unlikely, -- we can always make small changes and have a great time with interesting English speaking people!
I booked 3 lessons at Summit recently because I liked the way the lady on the phone explained how the lessons worked. Izzy was my instructor - we had so much fun and she teaches so well that I booked another couple of lessons. You'll be in good hands here!
We scheduled a family private lesson with Sam P. We have two sons age 9 and 11 and one daughter age 14. We scheduled a three hour afternoon lesson for our family. Sam was fantastic. My daughter is a very timid skier and my sons are adventurous. My husband and I are low intermediate level skiers. The lesson was fantastic. Sam was patient and encouraging with my daughter and fun and daring with the boys. No one was bored and no one was too scarred! Sam was able to adjust his teaching for each person in our family. We skied the blue slopes at the top of the Sunegga lift and spent a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon together as a family with Sam in the lead. I would highly recommend Summit Ski School for the organization, ease of booking and quality of the instructors.
Heartfelt gratitude and praises to friendly but patient David Murray who built confidence in me and made my skiing in Swiss Alps a success. My experience should be a great encouragement for many a young-at-heart!
My 3 kids from Florida with no experience in the snow had private lessons with David during the Summer in Zermatt and they had an amazing time. We arranged everything by e-mail before we arrived and I was happy with the fast and great e-mail communication with the school. Reasonable prices compared with other schools and amazing instructor! David was cool with the kids and very professional, the kids loved him and they are looking forward to go back. Thank you Summit School and thank you David for such an amazing experience for the kids.
