"While Switzerland draws seasoned skiers and professional riders with off-piste slopes and snow parks, the country also has plenty to offer beginners. In particular, Zermatt features an excellent array of ski schools, which help novices cut their teeth in a fun, easy way. Ski and Snowboard School boasts the largest staff with more than 250 experienced instructors, most of whom hail from Switzerland, while Stoked offers group and private lessons with instructors ranging in age from 18 to 45. Most schools boast outstanding websites, which you can use to compare prices, view testimonials, and book lessons."
