Toby has a passion for alpine and cross country skiing both in Sweden were he lives and act as ski school manager in Stockholm largest ski resort as well as an instructor on regular basis during peak weeks in other resorts, preferably in Switzerland around the most beautiful mountains in the alps.
Why did you choose to teach snowsports?
I’ve been skiing since age of 3. Being an active ski instructor at hobby level since 2003. Like to share great days in the winter with guests having their best days of the year. My father was a ski coach and my daughter is now also a ski instructor.

Toby has frequently visited Zermatt/Cervinia with a passion for ski & eat. The soundings around Matterhorn is his favorite spot. He holds a PhD in Physics as well as a Swedish level-4 ski instructor certificate (Int’l IVSI instructor) that loves to spend time and spread skiing joy to his guests.
What do you do in the summers?
Outdoor activities like hiking, canoeing, open water swimming, golf, biking, camping and experiencing new adventure with family and friends.
Passion for good food and outdoor cooking, barbecue on open fire.
Where is your favorite part of Zermatt to ski/ride?
I like the red slopes and nearby off-pistes with cold snow up around the Furggsattel chairlift.
What is your favorite restaurant/mountain restaurant in Zermatt?
I’m a ski & eat foodie and there are plenty of good restaurants in Zermatt/Cervinia.
As a Swede I like to go over to Cervinia visiting “Ullas” (Chalet Etoile).
Chez Vrony afternoon sun at terrace at Alphitta. And ending a great skiing day at Cervo is a privilege.
Why did you choose Zermatt?
Matterhorn 🙂

Take the opportunity to visit Italy and Cervinia!

Toby was my daughter’s instructor for 6 days. She is 4 years old and it was her first experience in the mountains ans skiing. He was absolutely fantastic with her, used different techniques to keep her motivated and tought her all the basics! After a few days they ventured out of the kids park and she got her first taste of an easy blue slope with the help of Toby which made her even more excited and fascinated with skiing! Thank you so much Toby for taking care of our daughter and giving her an unforgettable first ski experience. She can’t wait to be back!! Hopefully see you next year!
Can’t recommend Toby enough for any ski experience (beginner or more advanced). He is patient, avid skiier and a very nice guy.

Toby is an incredible teacher. He took care of my 6 years old daughter and teached her incredibly.
When she first met Toby she could hardly descent blue slopes but after 4 days of lessons she was ready for the red.
Thank you Toby and see you next year!!

I had the pleasure of skiing with Toby Ebefors from ES for two days in Zermatt, Switzerland, and Cervinia, Italy, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping me build my confidence on the slopes. Not only did he provide clear and patient instruction, but he also tailored the lessons to my skill level, ensuring that I felt comfortable and supported throughout our time together. Skiing to Cervinia was an unforgettable experience, made even better by his expert guidance and local knowledge. If you’re looking for a skilled and friendly ski instructor who truly cares about your progress, Toby Ebefors is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to ski with him again in the future!

Toby is an absolute dream! Was wonderful teaching me and my children. Knows the pistes like the back of his hand and has super patience.

Absolute best ski instructor hands down for adults or children alike. Will plan a trip during his availability just to ensure we can ski with him again.

Toby was one of the best ski teachers I have ever had. I have been taking lessons in the last couple of years but my style was never good and I couldn’t do any red slopes or difficult blues. After three hours of a private lesson with him, I can ski down the red slopes without any problems for the first time in my life.
He gave me very good tips that helped me aid my skiing style and now I am less tired after the runs and able to do the steep slopes.
Thanks a lot.
