APEX Partners

Who We Work With

We chose our partner the way we choose our instructors — for the standard they hold, not the deal they offer.

A mountain school is only as good as what surrounds it: the equipment your children ride, the gear our team wears, the people who keep everything running. We work with a small number of partners, chosen because they take their craft as seriously as we take ours.

Equipment partner · Summer

Specialized Crans-Montana

Specialized Crans-Montana is our equipment partner for summer, right here in the resort.

Every bike we put a rider on comes through this partnership: premium full-suspension bikes, e-bikes, downhill rigs and children's frames — fitted properly, maintained constantly, and available for rental from CHF 45 a day when you'd rather not travel with your own.

Having them in the resort is what makes APEX Private Fitting possible: equipment prepared in advance, sized to each rider, and delivered where you're staying.

Equipment partner · Winter

The Mountain Studio

The Mountain Studio dresses our team through the winter — technical apparel with nothing wasted.

Founded in Zermatt, at the foot of the Matterhorn, by the people behind Peak Performance, the brand is known for a rare balance: serious mountain performance in a clean, understated design. Muted colours, precise cuts, no walking billboards — the same philosophy we bring to teaching.

An instructor standing on a cold slope for hours needs to be genuinely warm to teach well. This is the kit that makes that possible — and that looks the part doing it.

The Mountain Studio

Janus Project equips our instructors on the snow — skis designed in Monaco, handcrafted in Italy.

Named after the two-faced Roman god, the brand is built on a single idea: that performance and design belong together. Cutting-edge shapes on one side, respect for the mountain on the other — with natural materials like flax fibre, one of the stiffest fibres in nature, replacing part of the usual synthetics.

Our instructors ski on them every day, in front of the people they teach. It's the clearest endorsement a ski can get: the professionals choose to ride it.

HOW WE CHOOSE

Quality over volume

We'd rather work with one partner who does it properly than five who do it cheaply.

Present in the resort

Partners who are here, on this mountain, so problems get solved in minutes rather than days.

The same standard we hold

Our partners meet our guests. What they deliver becomes part of the APEX experience — so it has to be right.

Work with us

We work closely with hotels, chalets and concierge teams across Crans-Montana — arranging sessions, equipment and full programmes for their guests. If you look after visitors in the resort and want a mountain school that makes your job easier, get in touch. We're also open to conversations with brands that share our standard, in equipment, apparel and mountain services.
