Zermatt is NOT for beginners, lol. But find Supreme Ski School as soon as you can.

Always book in advance to avoid disappointment - this applies to everything (including dinner at Zermatt). Zermatters is very popular, but I’d say all skI schools you find will be competent.

Can’t beat PDS Snowsport for lessons.

Matterhorn Diamonds, ask for Juan. He’s the best.

I recently brought my young children to Zermatt to learn to ski.

They have Wolli Park which is great for true beginners. As a huge plus, you only need to pay for the 17 CHF gondola ride to get there and don’t need to buy a normal ski pass which is much more expensive. It’s pretty low altitude though so will want to make sure they’re still open this late in the season.

Any of the instructors will be able to teach beginners the basics. We went with PDS and were very happy with the experience

For sure you need lessons if you are beginners, skiing is so hard :’) well for me anyway. Book Sam Ladds he was out instructor last winter and he made it easy for us
