A thin pale light slides across the glacier and the Matterhorn looms as a raw wedge of rock; your instructor meets you at your hotel door and the day begins. On the lifts above Zermatt you move from tree-lined runs into broad, high-alpine slopes where wind and sun shape the snow differently every hour. This is a full-day, private lesson that follows you from first tracks to last chair.
