Fantastic experience!
Our guide, Gioia, was fabulous. We had let Evolution Ski School know ahead of time that we really wanted a guide to show us where to ski in Zermatt & Cervinia, and not a ski lesson. We were so fortunate to have been matched with Gioia who knew every facet of both areas.
Not only did she show us the best areas to ski she also made suggestions of where to eat on mountain in both Zermatt and Cervinia. She also suggested places to eat in Zermatt.
We had never used a guide before but were so happy that we had such a great experience with the first time that we did.

2 children with Augostina
We had our two children 5 and 7 for two and a half days with Agostina. The kids absolutely loved her. They are both pretty new to skiing and she made sure that it was fun and exciting for them which made them love the sport even more. Just in one day the skill increase was visible and they couldn’t wait to see her again. She took lots of pictures and videos for us as well. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Ski Guide - Definitely worth the cost!
We spent a week in Zermatt and had two different guides (Maya and Kotryna). They were both incredible! I would highly recommend getting a private ski guide for at least your first day on the mountain. They were both so knowledgeable and took us on so many different lifts and runs. My son wanted to ski off piste and our guide took him on a safe trail, leading him in and out and over safe jumps! On one of the days my husband had a bad back and the guide helped to carry his skis. They also helped us with restaurant recommendations and making a reservation. We are so thankful to have had both Maya and Kotryna, they definitely made our trip that much more enjoyable and stress free!

We had the best guide he...
We had the best guide he was funny thoughtful and very kind. I was a nervous skier and he looked after me so well and my family. I recommend anyone who does this tour to ask for Paulio he was spectacular. Evolution ski school are so lucky to have him.

Excellent experience
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I booked this lesson several months in advance. As I have never been to Zermatt before I asked several questions that were immediately answered. Our instructor, Tiziano, was waiting for us at our hotel was extremely knowledgeable not only about skiing instruction but also the mountain. He evaluated our ski level and made sure we were safe. At the completion of our lesson, we also received a photo collage of our day. I would recommend this experience as it was totally worth the money.

Great Choice
Definitely get yourself a ski instructor when in Zermatt. It’s was confusing when we tried to ski by ourselves . Instructor made it so much easier for us to enjoy our ski trip. He knew exactly where to go. I recommend an instructor 100%
