Pär has worked as a telemark instructor and ski instructor in various places in Sweden, sharing his passion for the feeling of “the free heel and the free mind” and for the joy of skiing. Pär is a calm and friendly guy who enjoys teaching all ages and abilities.
As a beginner Pär will guide you through your very first turns and if you are looking to advance your skills, he will help you to find your way through new challenges.

Par was an absolutely brilliant instructor. I started skiing as an adult, and I always have individual lessons for 2 or 3 days, so that I can then ski with my children. Par was, without doubt, the best instructor I have had in 8 years. Patient, kind and great fun to spend time with. He immediately helped me improve my skiing, taking time to explain things properly. A true professional. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you!
Ludmila says
My teenage daughter and I had 3 days of skiing with Pär. We are not an easy team as I’m not a confident skier and my daughter is quite a good and impatient skier. But Pär managed to make it fun and useful for both of us. He was a great guide for us on the slopes of Zermatt, showed many nice places and good restaurants. And he was also a great teacher! He has an absolutely charming warm personality and unobtrusive teaching style. His comments were helpful for both my daughter and I. We truly enjoyed our skiing together with Pär. I will definitely book a few lessons with him again when we are back to Zermatt! Would highly recommend.
Julie says
Pär is an amazing instructor! We’ve had such a great time with him and he helped us progress a lot. He is very patient and encouraging, pleasant and gentle. He gave us useful tips that we could practice. Definitely recommend him.
Sooni says
Pär is a fantastic instructor and I cannot recommend him enough. I am not an easy student, having started very late and having skied for many years but never with confidence.
I’ve had a few instructors but Pär was the first to take the time, make the effort and explain clearly what I needed to improve. Ne was encouraging and kind and I was able to ski with a smile for the first time in many years! Can’t wait to book him again.
Catherine says
Par was so delightful to have lessons with! As a beginner-level skier, and having not skied for 20 years, he took me through the basic fundamentals of technique. He was very patient and ensured I felt safe so that my confidence was built.
My first lesson was so good that I booked two more. I highly recommend Par for beginner levels!
Vanesa says
I had my third lesson with Par!! I enjoyed it very much, he was very patient, I highly recommend him.
Allison Goodman says
Par was so lovely to ski with! I grew up snowboarding and have been wanting to switch over to skiing for quite some time. I finally went for it and booked my first ski lesson ever with Par. He was great with helping me on fundamentals and technique. He was patient, supportive, and made me feel safe the entire time. Par is very knowledgeable about the mountain and can take you around with no problem.
I loved my first lesson and skiing so much that I booked a second lesson with Par. By the end of my second lesson, I was skiing down blues and reds in Zermatt! Wow! Highly recommend Par for all levels of skiing, and will stay in touch for future lessons.
Charlene Blankinship says
I had the best time learning to ski with Pär for my first ever skiing lesson! I am an avid snowboarder and have always been interested in learning how to ski. Pär is very kind and friendly. He made me feel comfortable immediately. He had a lot of great tips that made skiing easy and fun to learn. Midway through our lesson I was making full parallel turns and having so much fun! I hope to have another lesson with Pär the next time I am in Zermatt. I highly recommend him! He is awesome!
Milton Samios says
My family and I skied with Par in early January. The conditions were perfect and Par used the opportunity to show us all parts of the mountain. We really enjoyed the experience and found Par to be a very considered and thoughtful instructor. He was able to give us some good pointers and helped with our technique. He was also good fun and showed my kids cool cat tracks, half pipes, and a couple of jumps. At lunch we had some interesting discussions and got to learn a lot about each other’s homeland. If you are looking for a solid instructor who is engaging and versatile I can certainly recommend Par.
Carl-Johan says
I can strongly recommend Pär. He took our two kids (7 and 9 years) for three full days of skiing and he turned out to be the perfect choice. He was fantastic with the kids; both teaching and making the lessons fun and engaging. He kept us updated and was always on time. He’s also a great and friendly guy to boot.
Cecilia Lushing says
Pär is a very professional ski instructor, and talented in taking videos and photos for me on the slopes (per my request). He led us skiing on the most stunning pistes, and guided us through the Swiss side of Matterhorn. We had a wonderful time skiing with him, and would highly recommend him as your instructor!
Rami says
We were very lucky to have Pär as our instructor, he was excellent with the kids he made our experience very enjoyable.
Highly recommend
Chris McLean says
Pär guided our group of six all over the mountain today. He did a great job managing our different levels of skiing, giving helpful instruction, and great tips to follow for the remainder of our visit. We all greatly enjoyed our day with Pär! We highly recommend him and European Snowsports.
Arezoo Payvar says
I had a fabulous private lesson with Pär – he showed me the best ways to control my skis, how to use my arms for balance, and by the end of the class, I felt in control. Thanks so much for a great memory!
John C. Sexton says
Highly knowledgeable, friendly and patient with intermediate skiers. He was a great instructor for our family!
Andreas N. says
Pär is a very experienced and patient ski instructor for all levels.
Fahd A says
This was the first lesson for my sister and me, and Pär was incredibly patient, friendly, and supportive. His instructions were clear and concise, ensuring we learned while having a great time. Thank you, Pär and ES, for this amazing experience. I’ll be recommending your school to all my friends!
