Winter 2026/27

Ski & Snowboard in Crans-Montana

A new kind of mountain school opens this winter. Small groups, certified instructors, and equipment delivered to your door.

APEX Ski & Snowboard School opens for the 2026/27 season. Bookings open in autumn 2026 — register your interest now and we'll contact you first, before dates fill.

WINTER
DONE PROPERLY

Crans-Montana offers 140 kilometres of pistes, the Plaine Morte glacier, and some of the best south-facing snow in Valais. What it has lacked is a school that treats a lesson as something other than a queue. APEX opens this winter with the same principles that shape our summer: six people per instructor maximum, certified and bilingual teaching, a progression system that makes improvement visible, and equipment fitted where you're staying rather than in a rental queue.

Private and family lessons, for every level.

Ski School

Private Ski Lessons

One instructor, your group, your pace. From first turns to off-piste technique — the fastest way to progress, whatever your level.

Ski Family

Parents and children learning together, in one session. The instructor manages the difference in level so the family stays on the mountain as a family.

Private Ski Kids

Private coaching for children, with instructors who teach young skiers as a speciality. Siblings share at no extra cost.

Ski Kids

Ages 6–10 · Five mornings, five children maximum, and a level earned by Friday.

Ski Juniors

Ages 10–16 · Real technique on real terrain, grouped by ability.

Private Snowboard Lessons

Individual coaching on board, from first heelside turns to freestyle and powder. Nidecker equipment through our partner.

Snowboard Freestyle

Park coaching built on method rather than luck — approach, take-off, rotation, landing.

Private lessons and small-group riding, taught as its own discipline.

Snowboard School

Where the mountain opens up, with guides who know it.

Beyond the pistes

Freeride Programs

Off-piste riding with certified instructors who know where the snow holds. Safety equipment, avalanche awareness, and terrain matched to your level.

Ski Touring

Earn your descent. Guided ascents on skins, from gentle introductory routes to full days on the Plaine Morte.

Swiss HeliSki

Access to terrain that can't be reached any other way, operated on request. Limited days, limited places.
