Private Ski Lessons in Verbier – Pricing
Work directly with a Brevet Federal ski instructor for a fully personalised ski experience in Verbier.
All instructors are fully qualified at the highest level, with a minimum of 10 years’ experience teaching in Verbier. This depth of local knowledge, technical understanding, and real-world coaching experience allows for a far more precise and effective approach to improving your skiing.
Whether you’re looking to refine your technique, build confidence, or explore more of the mountain, each day is shaped entirely around you, your level, your goals, and the conditions.
This is not a traditional ski school model. It is a more considered, personal approach, with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and long-term progress.
I work with a limited number of clients each week to maintain this standard, which is reflected in the pricing.

- Having never skied before, Roddy made it seem like a breeze. I had a private lesson with Roddy and I'll definitely be booking another one. Highly recommended!read moreread lessAndrew R.3/10/2020Very very very valuable and another consructive and productive lessons with Roddy Willis. This time, as the second meeting with Roddy, i wanted to hear my mistakes objectively and improve them with his advises. I am still thinking how he is skiing very very slowly in steep slopes..Undoubtedly, it requires a perfect technique that believe me this gentlemen has it. I always keep what he said to me during the lessons and will hopefully meet to try more moguls and most difficult runs together in this season. Thank you for beautiful 3 days !read moreread lesstuna ö.3/10/2020
- Not only is Roddy incredibly knowledgeable about Verbier and the best places to go at the appropriate time of day for the given conditions, he does a great job at weaving in skill development exercises as well. I will definitely ski with Rod again in the future if possible!read moreread lessMike A.3/10/2023I had a lesson with Roddy in early March 2019. I had not skied for 7 years and as such was a bit nervous. I need not have been. Roddy was amazing - friendly and a great teacher. Within only a few runs I was back to my usual confident (if poor) skiing and really enjoying being back on the scopes. Roddy then challenged me on harder runs and it was a great three hours, at the end of which the improvement in both my technique and enjoyment was immense. I will definitely return to Verbier for many things, but one of them is so I can have another lesson with Roddy.read moreread lessAlexander M.3/10/2019
- I have just returned from a ski trip to Verbier, and our group of 7 Canadians hired Roddy Willis to guide us. 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. Tim - Toronto, Canadaread moreread lessTim T.3/10/2020
- A real privilege to have skied with Roddy Willis in Verbier. It was fascinating and very impressive to see Roddy constantly assessing the snow to make sure we had perfect conditions on every run throughout the day. Not once was it too icy or slushy and he also managed to plan the route where there were no other skiers and we stopped to eat homemade local food. He has a huge knowledge of the mountains. A truly amazing experience, thank you.read moreread lessLucy R.4/09/2026We've used Roddy for a couple of seasons and he's great. His affable style makes him a great instructor and he will quickly assess your skill level to craft a fantastic itinerary for you - away from the crowds and lift lines -maximizing the value of your lift pass and creating a very memorable skiing experience.read moreread lessMatt P.3/10/2020
- BEST 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 👍🏾read moreread lessSilka P.3/10/2020
- Best ski instruction I've ever had! I'm a reasonable strong, off-piste skier - skied for years including working ski seasons and absolutely love it. Roddy is a fantastic professional skiing instructor having taught all his life. He really helped me to progress by breaking down many old bad habits. His instruction was clear and clarified a lot of skiing-position myths. He checks for understanding, passionate about enabling his pupils to improv, patient with questions and fun interesting company. Having been in Verbier for 15 years he knows the ski area on and off piste tremendously well so offers a fantastic days teaching and skiing. The only concern is if he is available when you are. My recommendation - If you can find a space in his diary when you are there book it asap and start looking forward to a great day.read moreread lessSuzannah V.3/10/2019To say Roddy is the best ski instructor I have had would be an injustice to him, this guy is something else… I learnt more in the three days with Roddy then I have ever learnt since I have skied. When we was on the ski lift he said “I’ll have you skiing that” as he pointed off piste and to terrain that looked unreachable let alone skiable. If you want to progress at a speed you could only dream of then Roddy is the guy. Thank you so much for everything. Regards, Greg.read moreread lessGreg T.3/03/2023
- Roddy has change my Skiing I’m 3 days to a placeI never believed I would got to.My Wife had fallen out of love with skiing and was threatening to not ski any more. After the last 3 days with Roddy she is already planning our next trip.I can’t recommend this chap enough. Not onlyIs he a fantastic ski instructor/ guide. He is also a really nice guy.read moreread lessAuTo C.3/29/2026An incredible teacher who taught me so much. Roddy was incredibly patient in helping me correct the bad self-taught habits I’d developed over the past 16 years. His knowledge of the ski area was excellent, and he always found the best places for quiet practice and the best snow!!read moreread lessLaura K.3/15/2026
- After years of lessons, my skiing hadn't improved and I was starting to become disillusioned. 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 moreread lessWaseema L.3/10/2020Roddy is fantastic! We could not have asked for a better instructor to ski with at Verbier!!! He took us to terrain that we would have never been able to find ourselves, helped us ski better and provided an overall amazing ski experience! Only wish we had more than three days, but we will definitely go back to Verbier to ski with Roddy next season!read moreread lessjulie c.3/10/2019
- Roddy is a superb ski instructor. A natural teacher he makes the difficult easy, and as a beginner he gave me the confidence to ski and also enjoy myself rather than being totally terrified! Thank you Roddy.read moreread lesshelen p.3/10/2020Roddy has completely transformed our skiing. 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 Annaread moreread lessSally S.3/10/2022
- My family and I spent a full day skiing with Roddy at the end of December 2019. I could not recommend him more highly - he is great company and an outstanding teacher and gave helpful advice to everyone in our group with varying experience and with ages ranging from 21 years to mid fifties! He showed us all the best places to ski to avoid the queues and the best restaurants, and this set us up for the rest of our week in Verbier. He puts his heart and soul into your lessons and it is reassuring that if you book with him you know that he will be the person teaching you that day rather than being left in the hands of a large ski company who allocate an instructor to you on the day. We shall definitely book in with Roddy again when we next return to Verbier and I would highly recommend him to all levels of skier.read moreread lessCindy O.3/10/2020
