Our trip to Verbier was made so much better for having Roddy guide us. He did such a great job of reading our various ski levels, and guiding us through terrain that was perfect for our group. Verbier is not easy to navigate. It is not signed like a colorado Vail resorts mountain; Roddy KNOWS the mountain, knows the conditions and he was truly a pleasure to spend our days with. I was unsure, prior to our trip, if a guide was a necessary expense- not only was it necessary, it made our trip! If I am lucky enough to return, Roddy will be the first person I contact. Roddy is the best. Plan ahead and book him for you ski trip! read less

We’re more confident, we’re in control and occasionally even look quite good! He’s coped with differing levels of ability and nervousness and improved us all, and some were pretty expert already. On ice, bumps, powder, everywhere we’ve made huge gains. Thank you! Sally, Gordon, Alex and Anna read less

What a wonderful experience being guided on this massive mountain. Roddy took us to some pristine slopes, while also making reservations at absolutely wonderful Swiss restaurants for lunch. Not only does Roddy lead with expertise, but he shared Switzerlands history, including such interesting topics as taxation, citizenship, and mountain customs. He is a very knowledgeable person, but don't be mistaken, his legs are like steel, and he will keep any group focused on skiing, leaving - where you are - to him. A definite must if you just want to just ski, and not be bothered with constantly checking your ski map. Verbier is a wonderful town, and Roddy made our vacation all the more relaxing. We all want to go back. A great Swiss ski town.

    read moreBEST SKI INSTRUCTOR IN VERBIER!
    I’ve found my gem in the great Swiss mountains in Verbier. Most would say a restaurant, a particular bar or even the best chalet they stayed in...but not me...it’s my ski instructor, @Roddy Willis.
    His positive and friendly can-do attitude is matched perfectly for improving all levels of skier.
    My husband and I have both been using Roddy for 1:1 lessons for a few years now after trying various other instructors and have found him to be the best. He’s flexible around our children’s various ski club timings and knows exactly when to push my abilities on the slopes.
    I have experienced great progress and confidence in my skiing thanks to Roddy over the years and look forward to booking him next season 👍🏾

A friend who lives in Verbier recommended Roddy Willis, but if I'm honest I was a bit sceptical that anyone could help me. I can't recommend Roddy enough; he has a patient manner and is an excellent communicator. He was able to completely 'dismantle' my skiing before introducing new techniques each building on the last. He has taken my skiing to the next level, and I have to say, I have now found a new passion for skiing. Thank you Roddy, see you in March! read less

I don't think we fully appreciated the need for a guide until Roddy stepped into the picture. Our experience was seamless and differentiated from previous ski trips; we cannot wait to go back. Roddy provides the perfect blend of professionalism and wit to make the day fly by and he chooses the perfect pitches to match your level of skiing and interests. Would recommend him to any and all; we had a brilliant time! read less

This week has mostly been about Powder. However, i This week has mostly been about Powder. However, in my opion, food also plays a big part of a great ski day. The new restaurant at the top of Bruson is really worth a visit. The food and the views are both worth the trip.
