10 Ski & Snow Tours in Zermatt That You Shouldn't Miss
When most people think of Zermatt, they think of one thing: The Matterhorn. This ultimate Swiss icon looms over Zermatt, first drawing visitors here in the 1860s. The village of Zermatt itself is lovely and car-free, with old-fashioned brown chalets and winding alleys. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to walk everywhere—there are electric vehicles and horse-drawn cabs.) Skiing in the region often lasts through early summer, but when the weather’s warmer, it’s a great time to hike.

We booked Janna with only 12 hours notice and we had the most wonderful time. Janna knows Zermatt and all of the ski runs really well and she went to extreme lengths to make sure we not only had the best possible skiying but she also took us to all of the must see points without compromising our ski time. We were a group of 4 3 skiers from starter to intermediate and one who was not skiying at all. Janna catered for all 4 of us in a way that we all got the most possible out of the time she spent with us. Start and finish times were moved to accomodate in any way we wanted. I would have to say we stumbled on Family Skiying by accident but what a luck for us. I will be back alone in March and will not go out any day without Janna. She knows the slopes so well and makes everything work to your ability . Thanks Janna for a wonderful time.

I decided to switch from snowboarding to skiing and took 4 half-day private lessons. Dido was beyond awesome!!!! By the fourth day I extended to a full day and Dido took me on a tour up to the glacier and across to Italy, they were the most amazing runs!! He even booked us lunch at a beautiful Italian restaurant (Chateau Étoiles). After 3 years of group lessons for snowboarding at a different resort and being on my butt most of the time I can’t believe how fast I progressed with private lessons....well worth the money!! 1.5hours into the first lesson we were already off the training area. Communication was fast and very easy via text with Riccardo. Dido was a great teacher, very knowledgeable and passionate. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return one day!!

The experience is first class and is frequently cited as one of the main reasons why our guests come back time and again.

Our family of five had an incredible few days with Dave. He was super professional and showed our family the mountain the first day and then tired us out off piste on our last.He made reservations for us at all the great on mountain lunch spots and offered up any help that we needed.My only regret was we didn’t connect earlier during the planning stage of our trip.We will definitely be calling Dave ( the Californian) to help us arrange our next trip to Zermatt!Five stars all the way.

We used Matterhorn Diamonds for the first time this year having skied with other ski schools in Zermatt for the past 10 years.Matterhorn Diamonds were truly outstanding. From the prompt and helpful communications from Rowena to the excellent instructors, Alex and Guy, we couldn't have asked for more. Alex and Guy were super knowledgable, accommodating and fun. We had a great week with them and will definitely use Matterhorn Diamonds again. Strongly recommend.
