Jiri is fun, honest, and adaptable. He chose to teach snowsports because it is his lifelong passion.
In the summer, he enjoys going for walks and picking mushrooms. His favourite area to ski in Zermatt is Sunnegga, and he believes Findlerhof is the best restaurant in the region.

“I can 100% recommend the best ski instructor I have ever met — Jiří Sopúch. He is a true professional who works equally well with complete beginners and very advanced skiers. Jiří is a unique instructor who doesn’t just give tips, but actually teaches and helps you truly improve. The learning process with him is genuinely effective and meaningful. In addition, Jiří is a great conversationalist — it’s always interesting and enjoyable to talk to him. Another big advantage is his excellent knowledge of four languages: English, German, Russian, and Czech. Jiří is without a doubt the most knowledgeable and professional instructor in the entire academy. Highly recommended!”- Google, 3 February 2026
