Snow flakes are falling in Verbier, 2016 has arrived! On behalf of everyone at the Altitude Group we would like to wish you a happy 2016 with lots of snow and sunshine.
Over the Christmas holidays, despite the limited snow base, we still were able to enjoy reasonable conditions above Mayentzet. It was a busy period for the ski school with all of our instructors fully booked. We wish to thank all of our returning customers for coming back to us every season.

In addition to our fulltime team, during the holiday weeks we also have another 30 parttime and ISIA/L4 training instructors.
