Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I recently enrolled my son in beginner's snowboard lessons and I couldn't be happier with the experience provided by his instructor, Arron Letts from Altitude ski and snowboard school in Verbier. Arron possesses a genuine passion for snowboarding and has a remarkable ability to communicate with beginners. His friendly demeanor and patience were apparent from the first interaction, instantly putting my son at ease. This was crucial, especially considering his initial nervousness about snowboarding for the first time.

Arron expertly tailored each lesson, ensuring that my son received attention and guidance. The emphasis on safety was particularly reassuring for me as a parent. Before hitting the slopes, Arron took the time to go through essential safety procedures, ensuring that my son understood the basics and felt secure in his equipment. He broke down the techniques into simple, digestible steps making the learning process accessible and enjoyable.

Throughout the lessons, Arron provided constructive feedback, which not only boosted my son's confidence but also fostered a sense of camaraderie.

By the end of the lessons, my son had not only learned the basics of snowboarding but had also developed a newfound passion for the sport.

I wholeheartedly recommend Arron as an instructor, especially for beginners. His expertise, patience, and ability to create a positive and engaging learning environment have left a lasting impression on my son.

Highly recommend Altitude ski school in Grindelwald - have now used them two seasons for kids and adults group lessons , with great experiences both times. They have a maximum of 6 in each group ( compared with some of the other schools you could see on the slopes who had 10 kids per instructor !) and guarantee to run it even if you are the only one enrolled . All the instructors I dealt with - Ryan, Greg and Sophie - were totally invested in the lessons and we had a great time ! Will definitely be back….

Had a refresher lesson with my family, taken by Matilda. She was brilliant at giving us all tips on how to improve our carving and made things very clear and easy to follow, always checking that we all understood what we should be doing and feeling. We all came away feeling much better about our skiing technique.
Matilda was also very friendly and easy to talk to, would 100% recommend her and Altitude to anyone looking for lessons in Verbier!

It’s been a week since I completed the AMP course and returned home from Verbier. And I can’t wait to come back!

I’m an intermediate skier and have been stuck at a bit of a plateau. I love a cruise-y blue and an easy (and short!) red, but lost all confidence when things got steep. I would freeze and bumble my way down the piste. Spending a week focusing on technique and working to lose some bad habits was exactly what I needed!

Our instructor, Matthew, was able to connect with each of us in the group on a personal level based on what was working for us — tips, tricks and drills that were tailored to our individual learning and skiing styles. He took the time to get to know us so he could have that impact — it felt like private lessons. Having the full week together also definitely helped so we had time to work on things and build on the prior days. I came out of it a significantly more confident skier with much improved technique. I even ENJOYED skiing down a long black piste for the first time ever.

I’d highly suggest AMP if you’re looking to improve your skills — Verbier is gorgeous and the skiing is sublime, but giving yourself a full week in that setting to get better is an AMAZING way to spend a holiday. And I’d highly recommend Matthew for lessons regardless of whether you’re taking the AMP course or other lessons.

Fantastic ski lessons for children, age 6 and 4, thank you Luna so very much 😊 so helpful, great communication to arrange meeting place and time, friendly, welcoming, children loved her, had enjoyable fun lessons where they became competent and capable themselves, could put skis on themselves, the older one, know how binding needed to be to put on. I can’t speak highly enough of the professional, fun, warm friendly service and tuition Luna provided, it was a joy to meet you and I feel so lucky our children got to learn skiing with you. Gave them great confidence and competence. Thank you so very much ❤️

I spent an incredible week training towards my BASI Level 2 with Altitude Futures in January. The coaching team is extremely friendly, talented, and experienced and I noticed improvements in my performance every day. The coaches offer plenty of 1-1 feedback to maximise personal development, and the programme has a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

We had a brilliant time with Altitude during our stay in Wengen. Ben was extremely helpful in discussing our requirements and what types of lessons would suit our needs. We split into two groups, so that we could get the most out of our time and differing abilities. Mike was brilliant in his explanations and really helped build confidence on the slopes across differing conditions. Mattheus provided challenging and fun routes for our more advanced skiers, whilst honing their technique further. Altitude elevated our ski holiday entirely and we even booked a further lesson that week. Highly recommended for all skiers visiting.

We had Mathias Mundeling Christiansen (Danish) as our private instructor for 3 days in Verbier in Week 7. He was exceptional with our kids and he was very involved in providing solid instructions and he really moved them up a few levels. He was also keen to take us around hidden and very interesting areas of the ski area to put our abilities into action. I can only give him our best recommendations!

Excellent expérience tailored to our needs. Noticeable improvements in skiing achieved. Felt safe and capable with the ski guide at all times and without realizing it along the way managed (thanks to very personal approach to explaining and practicing) to fulfill some impressive goals on and outside of slopes.

Excellent ski instructors! I had a great experience working with Beau for 2 days at Andermatt. He was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to ski with. Aaron did a great job instructing our two girls, ages 10 and 7, and was a lot of fun for them. I would highly recommend Altitude to anyone looking for high quality private lessons at Andermatt!
