Benefits of guided skiing in Zermatt

Enjoy a day of freeriding or ski touring in the backcountry of Zermatt. One of our IFMGA/UIAGM guides will plan your day after your preferences, level, and the current snow conditions: ultimately to ensure you have the best skiing days of your trip. There are a lot of good options in Zermatt, including access to large glacier areas.

We use the lifts to access the terrain, sometimes with short hikes from the top lifts. If you have gear for ski touring, that also opens up a lot of good areas. This equipment is available for rent in Zermatt, and you can consult this with your guide beforehand.

The guides know the area very well and will take you to the best available spots for the moment. Secure your guide now for the 2025 season and ski Zermatt in the best way possible!
