The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.

Was able to park and walk onto the bobsled run area while the Swiss championships were underway. Very cool to see this sport up close and personal. Was able to go to the start line as well a bit later. Didn't splurge for the ride down with two professionals however as that was quite pricy.

Just returned from a weeks skiing holiday. My confidence in skiing was quite low and my 18 yr old son hadn't been skiing for 4 years. The excellent teaching by James was superb, he built my confidence so much, I managed to ski the whole way down from the revolving restaurant via the black run by the end of the week. My son was skiing so well by the end of the week and loved it so much he's wanting to go back next month and become a ski instructor himself! James taught us so much in a few days and builds confidence so well. Eskimos service was great, so accommodating with how we split out lessons. Definitely recommend them. Thanks James and Eskimos.

I and my friend had private lessons with Jack over two consecutive days in Zermatt and we could not have been happier. Even though I and my friend were at different levels, Jack managed to keep us both engaged in the lessons and has definitely brought a lot of improvement in our snowboarding skills. He was very easy to talk to, he cared a lot for our safety and comfort on the slopes and he managed to always keep us smiling and positive. I highly recommend him if you want to have an amazing day on the slopes and learn a lot in quite a small amount of time. Looking forward to doing this again!

Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

Reviewed By LesleyCDLondon - London, United Kingdom
Premier Alpine Centre is conveniently located at the bottom of the funicular that takes you straight up to the main Nendaz gondola Tracouet. If you opt for the storage option, your ski days are very easy just coming off the gondola or skiing down, straight into the shop and putting your street shoes on, leaving your ski gear there overnight. The staff are very friendly, and they were very helpful in fitting boots for my children and getting all of our skis. There is also a lot of ski clothing and kit onsite in case you have forgotten anything at home or if your little one has lost a glove on the slopes. We highly recommend this ski rental shop for anyone skiing in Nendaz.

Reviewed By GiuliaTraveller - Geneva, Switzerland
Not many mountain lakes are just a few steps from the cable car; Daubensee is one of them and it is definitely worth visiting it. The view is amazing and changes every 50m along the loop around the lake. The reflection of the mountains on the water is incredible and there are many spots for nice pics. Therefore, consider more than 2 hours to complete the loop, especially if there is snow on the path. And take some food with you, so you can have a pic-nic with a view, and what a view!

We want to take your skiing to the next level. It's that simple. Element is a unique Ski School in Verbier with a focus on quality and on making sure our clients have the best possible time on the mountain. The team is deliberately small - a hand-picked group of the very best, most experienced ski instructors. We offer Private Ski Lessons, Off Piste Lessons, Women's Camps and Ski Instructor Training Programmes. And we'd love to hear from you.

As a group of complete beginners, we have skied with 4 different instructors from Element so far. Each individual instructor had their own teaching style, but all brought learnings that complemented our continued improvement overall. Will, Guy, Jack and Tom all put us at ease and were great fun to work with! Emma & Lucy were also great with helping us book or amend lessons. They were flexible, friendly, client-centric: can definitely recommend the team! (In fact I did actually recommend them and brought some additional friends to book with the school since our first lessons). Thanks Team Element, keep up the good work!
