Why did you choose to become a ski instructor in Zermatt?
I have been able to explore different resorts around the world and teach a sport that I love. As I am sure you already know, Zermatt is one of the best places to ski, eat and enjoy a winter holiday. I get to live here, and the Matterhorn is the cherry on top!
Where is your favourite part of Zermatt to ski?
I love to explore the backcountry and off-piste routes in the Zermatt mountains. Equally, you cannot beat cruising over to Italy, on a bluebird day, to enjoy a tasty lunch.
What do you do in the summer?
During the summer, I work in a mountain hut at 3030m where the views are spectacular! In my own time, I love to explore the mountains and lakes on my bike.
What is your favourite restaurant in Zermatt?
Well it depends what I’m feeling on the day…could it be a pizza day? Happens often. So don’t be shy with the cheese, they aren’t at the Rothorn Pizzeria!
So, if you would like a super fun and rewarding day in the Swiss Alps, then allow me to show you around, (in my opinion), the greatest ski resort on earth!
