Max is returning for is eighth winter in Zermatt. He looks forward to teaching both new and returning clients, no matter their level. He is also happy to show you the best lunch and coffee spots in Zermatt and Cervinia. Book him for the ultimate Swedish experience.
What is your favorite part of Zermatt to ski?
I enjoy cruising on Gornergrat. The wide, gentle slopes make it perfect for relaxed skiing. I also like stopping for lunch at Alphitta. Skiing over to Cervinia is another highlight, especially for the great food.
What makes you special as an instructor?
I have been teaching for nearly half my life. I speak more than four languages, which helps me connect with a wide range of clients. I bring experience, patience, and the ability to adapt to any situation. After eight seasons in Zermatt, I know the area inside out.

« I booked Max Pettersson for almost a week of lessons and enjoyed every minute. He’s great fun and knows how to bring out the best in your skiing. I’m a very nervous skier so felt a real sense of achievement skiing red runs with Max. He knows how to give you confidence. Also great company for anyone- will definitely book him again »- TripAdvisor, 29 March 2026
« We really enjoyed snowshoeing with Max. He guided one of us solo on a couple of occasions, and both of us together as well. In each case, he struck a nice balance — encouraging, relaxed, and easy to be around. With high avalanche warnings and various closures, the trips could easily have been cancelled. Instead, he adjusted the routes and found safe, scenic alternatives. His experience in the region is clear, and we felt comfortable throughout. He also shared interesting insights about the landscape, the local people, and businesses along the way. We’d definitely go out with him again. »- Google, 21 February 2026
« Max was an excellent instructor, patient and fun!! My fiancé and I loved our first skiing experience; I learned to do turns in less than 3 hours! It’s amazing! Thank you so much, Max, for making us love skiing; we can’t wait to go back 🙂 »- Google, 3 February 2026
