“Our philosophy goes beyond teaching skiing or even sports in general,” shares Managing Director Lorenz Bach. “We aim to always create unforgettable experiences that go beyond the ordinary.” Near The Alpina Gstaad, the ski school’s professional and engaging instructors speak over five languages, perfect for putting the hotel’s multilingual clientele at ease. In addition to premium ski lessons, they offer a wealth of winter activities, from snow tubing to cross-country skiing. Ski School Rougemont's five-star service takes care of all the details — like rentals, passes, and pickup — so you can concentrate on having fun.

Get matched with a private instructor who best suits your skillsets. Beginners will feel comfortable on the snow thanks to the patient, calming staff. For more advanced skiers, the instructors analyse your technique to customise a lesson to improve your weaknesses. Group lessons are available for children to learn in a fun setting. Beyond lessons, ski guides show adept skiers the mountains’ most snow-sure pistes. Adrenaline junkies love heli-skiing adventures that offer birds-eye views. For “earn your turns” skiers, take a backcountry hike for a rewarding descent in fresh powder. Curious about ski racing? Beginners and advanced racers get slalom tips — from a former world-class champion if you wish!

Some of the loveliest groomed cross-country runs weave through Gstaad. Glide through majestic forests surrounded by awe-inspiring mountains. Trails range from easygoing to a full-body workout. Head out on a snowshoeing adventure, choosing between leisurely strolls and heart-pumping summit ascents. Indulge in a full moon outing or fondue in a cozy restaurant for a special moment. Family-friendly activities include snow tubing, ski biking, and sledding. For the latter, take advantage of groomed pistes that are off limits to skiers. Test your balance at the ice-skating rink in the centre of Gstaad, where you can learn to skate or hone your hockey skills.
