The huge ski area has something for everyone, from the gentle slopes on the Gornergrat to the tree skiing in Sunnegga and the pristine pistes of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the highest ski area in Europe at 3883m, with skiing possible all year round. In the town, designer boutiques stand side by side with quaint local cafes, Michelin starred restaurants and the famous bars that serve Zermatt’s vibrant nightlife.

I grew up in Stourbridge, UK. I learnt to ski in Mottaret, 3 Vallees, France and Tamworth SnowDome.
I learnt to ski at 2 years old. While growing up, our family holidays were ski holidays.
It is safe to say we all had the ski bug. I took my first ski Instructor courses when I turned 21 and I've been teaching ever since.
My favourite piste in resort: National, Piste 8. Is a challenging steep black slope. It is serviced by the Patrullarve chairlift for a quick turnaround to maximise ski time.
Favourite tip: Braquage - A very useful skill to have in your arsenal for getting down steep, narrow slopes. Powder days are my favourite! I know it's an obvious cliche but you just have to love those days.

I was born and raised in Greece specifically in the city of Volos which is within breathing distance from the sea and parallel to it is a mountain at 1400 altitude where at the age of 9 I took my first steps as a cross-country skier.
I was a competitive elite member of the national endurance ski team until the age of 21 with several Panhellenic and Balkan distinctions and participation in world cups. I am a Physical Education and Sports Science teacher (BSc & MSc) ISIA qualified with 8 seasons of coaching experience including one of them in Zermatt.
I love skiing in Zermatt for me it's like a paradise I love skiing everywhere but my favorite piste in Zermatt is the Schusspiste.
My Top tip for skiing: Control your skis. Don’t let your skis control you. Favorite part of skiing: The constant challenge and the total fun!

My journey as a ski instructor has been driven by a passion for the mountains and the joy of skiing. Growing up surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, skiing became second nature to me. I teach skiing in English, Italian, Spanish, and a bit of Portuguese, allowing me to connect with students from diverse backgrounds. When I’m not on the slopes, you can find me climbing, trail running, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Growing up in Luxembourg, I was lucky enough to turn my love of skiing into a career that's taken me all over the world. Eighteen winters later, I've taught in Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan, across Europe... and even survived one very rainy season in Australia!
As an IASI Examiner, trainer and Level 4 instructor, I love helping people discover what they're capable of on skis. Whether it's your first day on snow, you're looking to build confidence on steeper terrain, fine-tune your technique, or simply keep up with your kids, I'll tailor the lesson to your goals and make sure you have fun along the way.
One of my favourite things about teaching is seeing that moment when something just clicks. I believe the best lessons are the ones where you leave with a smile, more confidence than when you started, and already thinking about your next day on the mountain. When I'm not skiing, you'll probably find me in the gym, curled up with a good book in a cosy café, or exploring a new ski resort. I also speak English, French, German and Luxembourgish, so feel free to chat to me in whichever language you're most comfortable with!"
